I read the reviews written back in 2014, which talk about mold and dirt. So nothing has changed in 2018! And it even got worse. The awnings over the balconies collapsed, and look like they will collapse on their heads, there are no dryers, the guests have to hang their laundry on the balcony balusters, which are all covered in black mold. … More ▾ I read the reviews written back in 2014, which talk about mold and dirt.

The view of the buildings is neglected, everything is somehow unkempt, in our hostels it is better and cleaner than this hotel. In general, I think that being in this hotel is dangerous for health. Mold spores are very dangerous! At work, one employee got a mold spore in the ear from a conder, so she was treated for two months. By the way, air conditioners must be disinfected periodically.
If you are told that this state of the hotel is typical for India - do not believe it! Our friends rested in a nearby hotel, everything was clean and tidy, a clean pool, well-groomed territory, clean renovated rooms.

Oddly enough, but the overall impression of Cavelossim was very positive, despite the hotel. I’ll start with the check-in, the room was Deluxe, but don’t flatter yourself, they are very old and shabby, we were lucky that our room was on the second floor, and all this Indian evil spirits in the form of ants and so on didn’t crawl up to us, and there were no bedbugs in the mattress it was, although the neighbors from the 1st floor had. … More ▾ Oddly enough, but the overall impression of Cavelossim was very positive, despite the hotel.

Everything is difficult with food... even if you are not particularly picky... We imagined a vegetarian breakfast - vegetables, fruits, yogurts. In fact, no vegetables, fruits - unripe watermelon, and everything else is their local "brew" like beans in gravy, or potatoes with something else in gravy, or just some kind of incomprehensible slurry... Everything is very spicy even tea! ))) For breakfast they serve masala chai with spices and milk, there is no other, so the first morning was just a shock, then they adapted to eat the least spicy dishes.
There are 2 supermarkets in the village, the one next to the hotel, and the far one, on the same side, only 15 minutes walk, many pharmacies, where we bought toothpaste as a gift instead of magnets ))
Well, to summarize, I’ll say that Cavelossim is a heavenly place where you want to return, and if you have the opportunity, choose another hotel (Shikara is much better nearby), but if not, buy rum and relax, because. no one will respond to your claims anyway, so do not spoil your nerves and rest, but just put up with it, because in the hotel, in fact, you will only spend the night.

We rested in this hotel for 10 days, the food is not edible, the only thing you can take there is pancakes and they are rubber, the juice is watered down and there is not enough for everyone. The rooms are terrible, old, they settle in new ones for 150-200 USD. That is, in the rooms, in the bed, there are bugs that have bitten us, it was not the first time we were abroad in the UAE, Turkey, Egypt, Thailand, but we came across such a hotel for the first time. … More ▾ We rested in this hotel for 10 days, the food is not edible, the only thing you can take there is pancakes and they are rubber, the juice is watered down and there is not enough for everyone.

You wouldn't wish this vacation on your enemy! I'll start with the check-in: in 6 hours, starting from 20.00 to 02.00, we changed 3 rooms, it all happened quite emotionally, the fat man at the reception pretended that he did not know any language at all, except for his native. The first "room" was, like the second and third, without a number plate, from which we concluded that these rooms were intended for servants or something like that, it was a tiny room with one large bed, one bedside table and a dirty bathroom and we would have stayed there, but our guide realized that he was mistaken and in an instant, together with our suitcases, again galloped over the potholes to the reception. … More ▾ You wouldn't wish this vacation on your enemy!

There they give us new keys and we also quickly run to another "room", where a frog was waiting for us in the bathroom on the toilet, walls black with fungus and other outrages, with the words "tomorrow we will change to another number" our benefactor evaporated along with the dollar. Having recovered from the shock, we returned to the reception, threatened that we would sleep right here, we were promised to change the room at night, but we have to sit in the room and wait for a call from the reception. There was no phone in the room. After midnight, realizing that we would not give up, we were already settled in the third room, also small. In the morning we demanded a large two-room suite, as promised by the travel agency. And they gave us. But we did not feel like winners, because every time we passed by the reception, we heard similar scandals and only with Russian tourists. About food: the dining room is a nauseating place. you won’t see such dirt even in a menagerie, the food is completely inedible, dirty tables, plates, cups in pall and in someone else’s lipstick. About the territory: the only thing that pleased! I won’t say that it was a completely ruined vacation, but again, not a single Russian channel, and the nature is just super! If you are not afraid of dirt, rudeness, indifference of representatives of travel agencies, then you will be comfortable there. Good luck.

The location is very convenient, all the network is nearby in the village, relatively clean, there are no walking cows and cakes after them. The beach is right next to it, just like the sea itself. On the other side of the hotel there is a river with walking herons. The service in the hotel is good.

Cleaned every day and brought drinking water. Breakfast without meat, but there was something to eat. The staff is understanding and friendly. Nothing was stolen and only a good impression remained. One inconvenience, there is no safe in the rooms and the reception is paid and unreliable, so they hid the money in the room as best they could. The food in the necks is very tasty, the food is European, the local menu is separate. The freshest seafood is prepared in front of you. Dominic has the best shake. Be careful with local water, only for technical purposes, only bottled water was used. The prices are cheap, you have to bargain, the price is offered three times higher. Not much time has passed, but we already miss India and are thinking of returning there next year.

The rooms are very economical. The territory is dirty, not well-groomed, the fountains do not work, they are dried up and not cleaned. Often gatherings of schools, institutes and other schoolchildren. To the sea 200 meters across the road. There are several sheiks on the beach. A river flows nearby. Vegetarian food!! !. … More ▾ The rooms are very economical. The territory is dirty, not well-groomed, the fountains do not work, they are dried up and not cleaned.

Rest were satisfied. And this is the main point. Beautiful, large territory, breakfasts, although vegetarian, are quite hearty and tasty, especially for those who like spicy food. Close to the sea, which is essential for Indian hotels. Well, the sea and the beach - it's just a fairy tale. Twice went by bus to Margao. … More ▾ Rest were satisfied. And this is the main point.
Beautiful, large territory, breakfasts, although vegetarian, are quite hearty and tasty, especially for those who like spicy food. Close to the sea, which is essential for Indian hotels. Well, the sea and the beach - it's just a fairy tale.
Twice went by bus to Margao. The cost of a round trip for two costs 60 rupees (slightly more than a dollar), and for a taxi you have to pay 1000 rupees. In addition, a trip in the same bus with the locals is an adventure in itself. The bus stops on request in front of the hotel entrance.
And now some unpleasant moments. Rats were encountered twice on the territory. Evening and early morning. The bastard is running straight at us and only a meter and a half away, as if, after changing his mind, he stops and turns to the side. Our rats are no match for them, they are the size of a small, well-fed cat. After these meetings, it was somehow unpleasant to walk around the territory in the dark. In addition, mosquitoes pester in the evening. In addition, we were bitten by some kind of rubbish and the last 4 out of 12 days were itching (we saw the same "friends in misfortune" on the plane). We came to the conclusion that small midges bit us on the beach, the bites of which are not audible at all, but then blisters appear that itch great, which we did for another week after returning home.
As for the rest, beautiful marquise, everything is fine, everything is fine...

The hotel as a whole is not bad, the service is normal, the room was cleaned very well, the bed was changed 3 times, we already asked for a lot of towels, take at least three pieces, but not, as they threw it on the floor uselessly, we come, the clean ones lie on the bed, and the old ones neatly stacked next to the sink. … More ▾ The hotel as a whole is not bad, the service is normal, the room was cleaned very well, the bed was changed 3 times, we already asked for a lot of towels, take at least three pieces, but not, as they threw it on the floor uselessly, we come, the clean ones lie on the bed, and the old ones neatly stacked next to the sink. We even shared a similar story with water with neighbors, and many people went to the restaurant (canteen), and the secret is that we left tips every day, so the boy tried his best, both with soap and shampoo. We didn’t have a kettle right away, so we went to the reception and asked, but in India everything is done slowly, that is, slowly, so when we went for the third time, they finally brought us a kettle, an iron, a hairdryer and a fumigator, moreover, that the last three items didn't ask. As for food, you can eat vegetarian cuisine. In the hotel itself, we only ate in the morning and late in the evening for about 10 minutes we sat by the pool in Wi-Fi and slept, and so on the sea, walked around the town and went on excursions on our own. In general, I liked the country, the local population is very nice people, foreigners too, but as for the Russians, it was sometimes very unpleasant that I speak the same language with them, there are so many arrogant and arrogant people, as if everyone in front should spread gratitude that they came to rest here is unpleasant. People, be simpler, you eat to rest, and not to look for problems, so rest and do not interfere with others. And so all is well.

The hotel is quite a decent three, the rooms are not bad (there are very good freshly renovated and simpler ones without plastic windows) We took wet wipes with us for cleaning and immediately wiped all surfaces, including the sofa and the inside of the cabinets, and lived in a normal clean room all ten days! In India, they don’t particularly bother with the cleanliness of the premises - such a national feature, so you shouldn’t demand more than wiping the floors in the room and changing towels and linen. … More ▾ The hotel is quite a decent three, the rooms are not bad (there are very good freshly renovated and simpler ones without plastic windows) We took wet wipes with us for cleaning and immediately wiped all surfaces, including the sofa and the inside of the cabinets, and lived in a normal clean room all ten days! In India, they don’t particularly bother with the cleanliness of the premises - such a national feature, so you shouldn’t demand more than wiping the floors in the room and changing towels and linen. The service staff is friendly and smiling: the beautiful Indian Anifa works at the reception desk - she is smart and very friendly, but she speaks only English. The rooms are cleaned by young Indians (they are the ones who lay swans and flowers out of towels) - leave them a dollar and there will always be clean towels in the room, shampoo, soap and even fresh flowers will be put in a glass. The food at the hotel is vegetarian, but quite varied and tasty, drinking water is poured in the restaurant (just in case, we boiled it before drinking - all rooms have kettles). The hotel has free wi-fi. Before leaving, you can weigh things (so as not to pay at the airport for reloading), next to the kitchen on the ground floor, in the grocery warehouse, for 50 rupees. We dined on the beach at the Pipkins cafe - it is cleaner than the others, and the prices are about the same everywhere. For fruit and tea, we went by bus to Margao to the markets - for 30 rupees there and back. Spices were bought at the plantation during the tour (they are fresh and not expensive there). We went on the tour with Olga, the coordinates of the ladies through the mail, there is also a phone number of a good taxi driver guy - very decent, speaks Russian. The money was kept in a safe - over the past month at the hotel there have been several cases of theft of money from suitcases in the room (they did not take appliances and mobile phones) Purchases were made in nearby stores - bargained for mutual pleasure! The beach is a five-minute lazy walk from the hotel, sunbeds near cafes, the water is clean and warm. Ayurvedic products and medicines were bought at the pharmacy in Margao and in Cavelossim (two-story yellow building 20 minutes walk from the hotel). Two translators Vlad and Lena work at the hotel - excellent young people, friendly, always ready to help, thank you very much, without them Russian tourists would not be able to solve most of their everyday problems. And the last thing - do not forget to smile, in India they love and respect Russian people, and Russian tourists are judged on our entire country!
