So it's my turn to talk about the rest in this hotel. I'll try to paint a more complete picture. We (my beloved husband and I) rested in this hotel from 01/03/2012. to 10.01. 2012 The tour cost $3.000. Initially, we ordered breakfast + dinner and a room in the main building (this must be agreed in advance, when we booked the tour it was a month and a half in advance - there were no more rooms in the bungalow). The flight was indirect - from Kyiv we flew to the Emirates (5 hours flight) from the Emirates to India (3.5 hours flight) - I don’t recommend it to anyone - it’s very hard, because additional time was spent on staying at airports (check-in, time between flights ). So, let's begin.
Hotel.
Would not recommend to young people, people from 30 to 40, maybe older - because. there is absolutely nothing to do in this hotel. The hotel is 15 km from the nearest shop with drinks, fruits, etc. , there is a road and trees outside the hotel, there is no infrastructure at all. There is no entertainment in the hotel - small tennis, a ball. If I knew this, I would choose another hotel.

The hotel itself fully justifies 3 *. First line. No frills. Safe (a kind of closet with padlocks from the 80s) near the reception - free of charge.
In all photos of the hotel there is only a bungalow. The main building is not very impressive in appearance, it is somehow ugly, “shabby”, the rooms are under the roof itself, I think it is very hot in the room. And so, having seen it all with our own eyes, we officially paid $125 extra for a settlement in a bungalow (there was already a room there). The room was cleaned every day, as was the change of towels, although we didn't leave anything. The room had a TV (channels in Arabic or English), air conditioning, a ceiling fan, an electric kettle, a carafe of drinking water, which was replenished daily. Also on the tray were always bags of coffee, tea, sugar. There will be hot water in the shower if you press the miracle button 15 minutes before taking a shower (this will turn on the boiler), it is for each room separately.
Staff.
I only saw Indians. Everyone is very friendly, helpful, everyone is smiling, there were no problems with them. It seemed to me that they were even unobtrusive.
Territory.
No frills, neat, clean. Only on one side of the road from the main building to the sea, as I understand it, the territory of the hotel ends there, the wire is stretched there and already there are just some bushes, thickets. The pool is small. There are few sunbeds near it, but there was almost no one there.
Beach.
General, wide, long (beautiful... ??? ? nuuuu not so much, the beach is like a beach) there are no sunbeds on the beach itself. They are located on the territory of the hotel, directly from them we get to the beach. Towels near the sunbeds and by the pool are free.
Red flags are posted all over the beach - swimming is prohibited!! ! The sea lives its own underwater life - the Indians, including the hotel, disclaim any responsibility. The flags speak for themselves, no one will warn you (there is a lot of information on the Internet about accidents in GOA). So you choose where to swim and where not. We swam, but it was very fast, I was afraid))
Food.

Diversity did not shine. There was almost no meat, sometimes there was chicken. Basically, all dishes are very peppery. For breakfast there were also fruits - watermelon, pineapple, papaya, melon. For dinner of desserts, one day there was ice cream, the second day there was pudding, it seemed to alternate) At dinner, all drinks are for an additional fee.
outside the hotel.
I was disappointed, I expected more fabulousness, if not from India as a whole, but only from Goa, but I didn’t get it, it’s very dirty, the houses are scary, shabby. Goa was associated with a fairy tale, a small paradise - but it is not. Maybe the beach at the Radisson or Hyatt is fabulous and well-trained, but not GOA. Unfortunately, this is not a fairy tale. I don't want to go back to Goa.
