Отель Villagio INN 4* Hotel Villagio INN 4*

Good day to all! We decided to write a review about the hotel “Vilagio Inn” because we only found photos of the rooms and the reception about it. , wash, clean. Locals are also building a house nearby, where they also make noise. And the hotel simply does not have territory, except for the pool, which is adjacent to the cafe where they serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, it is also a restaurant during the day, there is also animation every other day (the hits of the 80s are sung). In front of the building there is a narrow path and a fence, behind which there are already houses of local residents, where roosters sing early in the morning, children clamor in the evening. Buildings 4-storey without elevator. The view from the window is on a neighboring building or a local house. To the sea 15 min. on foot along a picturesque road, but on which cars, buses, mopeds constantly drive. This road is very winding and not lit just at the corners, believe me, it is very unpleasant to think how the driver will notice or not you in the dark. The promised "shuttle" runs 1 time at 9 am. The prices in the menu of the hotel cafe are indicated without VAT (20%) and it was not indicated anywhere, we found out about this when paying for drinks after the Christmas dinner, for which we had previously paid forcibly in Moscow $ 62 per person.
Internet at the hotel 200 rupees per hour. In Colva 60 rupees.
If we read this review without visiting India, we would probably consider these shortcomings to be insignificant, but when this is superimposed on the specifics of local residents and the country, you understand that the presence of the territory at the hotel would not hurt. .

. We dined on the way to the beach "At Albert" or the sea a little short of Colva "At Antonio Banderas", "Silver Spoon". It is difficult to specifically recommend someone, because they noticed that in a cafe they try for the first time or two to attract a client, then they can start raising prices, replacing fish from larger to smaller. You can bargain in a cafe, as the pricing policy is determined based on your appearance. For example, we managed to buy a shark of approximately 1.5-2 kg for 850 rupees on the first day and 350 after.
Only Russians rest in the hotel and mostly in the resort, so you can find out information on the spot. The beach is excellent with a wide sandy strip.
The sea is muddy, almost always restless. On weekends, a lot of locals come to the sea (Colva is just a pandemonium), after which the beaches and surroundings are littered with bottles, bags and other garbage, it is partially removed or washed away by low tides, but the bushes are still littered with garbage. From fruits - pineapples taste like in Moscow (50-70 rupees a piece), tangerines, papaya. Mango green inedible (150 rupees) there are other fruits, but from 250 rupees (from Thailand, where these cost from 20 rubles for our money). And not the first freshness.
Change money on the spot and the airport is deceived. Changed $ 20 - the rate of 44 rupees.
Gave 700 rupees. I demanded dollars back, as a result, I managed to get another 100 rupees, they said that they had a commission of 100 rupees.

When you leave the airport, a beggar will be attached, who will join you to show you the way to the bus and will demand money for this - 100 rubles. ours. Send him away. Before leaving, we read in the reviews about a relaxed vacation, but we didn’t understand how you can relax in a country where a tourist’s divorce is just a way to earn money, sticky beggars extort money, small traders pester with a request to buy something, vacationing Indians ask for photos with them and try to touch them "White man", in a cafe it is not recommended to take thermally unprocessed dishes (salads, cocktails, natural juices, moreover, not always natural). The best praise of the cafe: “I ate and didn’t get poisoned” and many other little things, you can’t write about everything. True, all this is done with friendliness, a smile, greetings like “Hello friend”, “Good afternoon. How are you". Resting, Goa, we involuntarily compared with Thailand. We were there in Pattaya and Phuket and concluded that Goa should cost much cheaper than Pattaya (if you take country hotels there), not to mention Phuket if you take the price-quality ratio, for those who need a relaxing beach holiday.
