The territory of the hotel is clean and well-groomed, the beach is crazy (varka beach is considered one of the cleanest beaches in GOA). The rooms in the main building are not very good, but the pool houses are good and new, in some places they just pull on 4 *. The food at the hotel is not very good - everything is with curry and pepper in the best Indian traditions. But on the beach, the food is awesome - grilled shrimp, fish, salads and flat cakes - they ate in the local neck "at Eddie's" (as you go to the beach immediately to the left) as vacationers advised earlier. Tasty and not expensive, they don’t put curry in food, they speak Russian and the menu is in Russian, which is very nice after the hotel staff who speak only English. In the same neck, by the way, they also took excursions - it turned out cheaper two or three times than with a tour operator. (at first they tried to go on official excursions - there was no guide, he only went shopping, and so they talked to everyone, then they decided to use the services of a shaker and did not regret it - the guide spoke Russian normally, stopped where we asked, "cheap souvenirs from his store brother" did not suck. )
Conclusion: the hotel pulls in full to its stars in terms of accommodation. Varka beach, on which it is located, is very clean, not just by the standards of India, but even by world standards. The only problem with the hotel is the food. However, as it was found out from conversations with other vacationers, this is a standard problem of Indian hotels. They eat everything, as a rule, in beach shakes, which are a 2-minute walk away.
I wish you a good rest!
