Липовые звезды туроператоров Fake stars of tour operators

Ladies and gentlemen, if you've read the previous good reviews about this hotel and got inspired, then relax - the reality is not so beautiful in reality. Let's start with the accommodation, check-in was quick, although the welcome juice from the hotel was brought when we were already running for the escort with suitcases - I had to drink in one gulp on the go. The hotel is compact, the surrounding area is absent as such, the courtyards are small, filled for the most part with idle, but cumbersome fountains. There are few sun loungers and only by the small pool. Special friendliness and goodwill from the staff is not observed, unlike some other hotels in Goa. During the entire stay at the hotel, only the hotel employee who swept the yard asked about the impressions of living here. Number In principle, the number is not bad, 2 bathrooms, 2 LCD TVs, safe, dressing room. Our room had 2 tiny balconies that could hold a maximum of 2 people standing. There was a mini-bar, but with a complete lack of content. Drinking water was regularly supplied, every day, 1 liter per person (do not drink tap water - it is fraught! ). The hair dryer is carefully hidden in a drawer under the washbasin. The furniture is not very new, the folding sofa is extremely uncomfortable for sleeping. The bed, on the contrary, is very comfortable, wide and will appeal to those who like hard mattresses. I didn't like it: When I checked into the room, it turned out that there were only 2 used towels for 3 people (of those that are issued by the pool - they are lilac). But the worst thing is that the bedding, i. e. sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers, judging by their appearance, remained from the previous tenants with stains from blood, sweat and lipstick. At the same time, our tour operator assured us that sleeping on dirty bedding is a national feature of Indian hotels. In addition, I had to quarrel at the reception three times and fight for each item separately. Only after threatening to talk to management late in the evening did they bring us everything we needed. After such dances with tambourines, there were no longer any special complaints about daily cleaning - leave us our bed linen and do not touch it until we leave. Against the background of such a service, fungi growing rapidly from dampness caused only a smile. Meals Meals are buffet style. Breakfast will not please you with variety. And if you do not take into account the specific dishes of Indian cuisine (not everyone will like such a sharpness), then there will be only 2-3 dishes that you will eat until the end of your vacation (scrambled eggs, cereal, sometimes porridge and pancakes). We do not recommend dining at the hotel, due to the high price and poor assortment (a lunch buffet for three cost 2200 rupees, despite the fact that there was not much to eat). Entertainment There is no special entertainment, maybe for the better. There are no Russian channels on TV, but there are several channels that show good Hollywood films in English with English subtitles all evening. Sea The wonderful beach and the warm sea are not far away - no more than 15 minutes on foot. The sea and the beach are relatively clean. Rescuers always sit on the towers, it is not clear who is being rescued, but their presence should probably reassure. Unlike small traders, stray dogs are not aggressive. Only one cow was seen, and even then under the supervision of the owner. White SandsTo the beach of the White Sands hotel there and back are transported free of charge, from reception to reception in the hotel's passenger car, proudly called the Shuttle. The number of seats is only 4, the hotel staff will be happy to seat all 5-6 people, depending on the build. Towels are issued in unlimited quantities at the counter by the pool. We went only 1 time, the rest of the time we went to the nearest one on foot. Internet Internet is free, the password changes every day, so you need to ask for an Internet card at the reception every day. Reception in remote rooms is very weak, at the reception or the pool is better. Conclusion The hotel is clearly not up to the declared 4 * - all this is an invention of tour operators. Its ceiling is 2 * or 3 * with a big stretch.
