Недорогой и хороший отель в центре Колвы Inexpensive and good hotel in the center of Colva

We flew with a large company, 8 adults and 2 children (8 and 10 years old). Flight by Royal Flight, tour operator Sanmar. We arrived at the hotel at about 7 am, gave our passports and decided to change clothes and go to the beach, because we know that the check-in is at 2 pm according to the rules. They just removed the film from the suitcases, when at the reception they gave us the keys to the rooms, and all at once. (we had 5 rooms booked). We took rooms without air conditioning, but one of our company was settled in the main building with air conditioning. True, after 5 days they moved to our building : ) There were 3 rooms on the first floor and 2 on the second. My child and I lived on the first floor. I liked it more on the first floor, because there was no need to climb the stairs, there was a plasma (a cube on the second floor) with a connector for a USB flash drive, we inserted our flash drives and listened to music, the child watched cartoons. In the room there is a table, a bed, a mirror, a TV and a wardrobe. We didn’t need more, because they only came to sleep and wash. The water was always hot, the lights were turned off a couple of times, but the generator was immediately started. An additional place in the hotel is a mattress, you can’t even ask for a bed for money, the only thing you could ask for was 2 mattresses and put them on top of each other. But we solved this problem in our own way, because one person lived in our room and he had 2 beds, we asked at the reception to transfer one bed from his room to ours. They did everything quickly, without problems and money. (They were given 100 rupees for a tip). Of the living creatures in the room, they saw a small frog twice in the bathroom, they caught it and let it out into the street, but again somehow it ended up in our bathroom. There were no cockroach ants. Although sometimes they left open chips in the room. The fan was enough for us. Cleaning on request. A couple of times left the key at the reception, cleaned normally. Sand was removed from the floor, linen and towels were changed. Towels got normal but linen the first time white and the second time with stains. They took theirs from home. they slept on it when they brought stained linen to us. They don't steal anything. A friend sometimes did not close the door at all and went to the beach for the whole day. Nothing is missing. The hotel has a nice large swimming pool, the children liked to swim there in the evenings. In general, they should close it at 19 o'clock, but they closed it later, if you swim there at that time, they will not kick you out. Or you can ask at the reception to close later. Once up to 22 swam. Breakfasts at the hotel are standard toasts, tea, coffee, jam, butter, and juice from packets. You can order toast, scrambled eggs, french fries for money. I put 3 for food only because we decided to have dinner at the hotel once, and when we started to order, it turned out that of everything that was written on the menu there were only fries, eggs in all versions, sandwiches and chicken soup and that's it !! ! Although the menu has a lot of things to be. So we went to the beach for dinner. Walk from the hotel to the beach for 10-15 minutes, this is to the main entrance. The road was not stressful. On the way, we always took freshly squeezed juice and fruit. The child met one seller and every day came to say hello to him. The seller gave him a large shell, the son was delighted. Even before entering the beach, they always bought ice cream, very cheap and tasty. The first time we went from the main entrance to the left, look for the famous Sukorina. Cooking is not bad, but there are already a lot of people, but I wanted to relax. The next day we stopped in a boomerang, liked the kitchen, but again there were a lot of people. They waited for a pizza for 3 hours, they didn’t wait, they canceled the order and went to another shek. On the third day, we decided to find the Silver Spoon, while we were walking along the beach, touting in various sheki. The silver spoon doesn't work this year, we were told BIG BOSS shek instead. They went into it. Indeed, there were even some umbrellas from the Silver Spoon. In this sheke and hung for the rest. The food is amazing, the portions are huge, there are not many people. and most importantly, these are amazing workers and the owner of the shek himself. We became so friendly with them that we were even picked up from the hotel for free and taken to Big Boss and taken back. Children are delighted with Mario, an amazing sympathetic kind person. I took them on a scooter to the hotel. He helped us in everything, one girl's phone broke, so he took her to Margao, fixed the phone, took her to the market and to the pharmacy. Upon arrival, she wanted to thank him, so he flatly refused the money. The cafe owner himself is almost always there, communicating with guests. it's a pity only Kasim left, also a very wonderful person. I celebrated my birthday there, Big Boss gave me a cake and a bouquet of flowers. The guys created such a holiday atmosphere, just beyond words. It was the happiest birthday in my life. On this day there should be a fire show, at 19 o'clock, but we booked a table for 21 o'clock, so they did not start without us, they were waiting for us. Although the people were there. There is a menu in both Russian and English, they sell seafood, the prices are the same as in all shek, but the portions are much larger. The service is amazing, there are also umbrellas and awnings. There were no poisonings. The guys are just great. And the children will be entertained, and they will play football with them and help in everything. Children still remember them and miss them. Yes, and so are we. In the middle of the rest, we decided to try momo, they were not cooked in Big Boss, we walked along the beach and asked in every shek where they were. As a result, they found Antonio in the neck, which, immediately after the boomerang, was taken with meat, did not like it. firstly, they were only fried, secondly, I heard a lot about momoi, I saw them on the pictures, but what they brought to us was more like our cheap fried dumplings, because. even their size was not like that of manti, but like our dumplings. A friend didn’t eat enough and decided to take a salad there, I advised her with tuna, because I often ate it in Big Boss. What they brought her at Antonio's is horror and not a salad. Firstly, the tuna was with huge bones, and in addition to the tuna, there was only onion and that's it. In general, we left this salad and went to our guys to eat delicious food. We took an excursion from taxi drivers to the waterfall, $ 30 per person, took two cars, three more from Samara went with us from our hotel. Very satisfied. Taxi drivers paid for everything themselves, the only thing we paid for was bathing with an elephant, they paid for the ride and if you wish, you pay 600 rupees yourself for swimming. We were driving from the waterfall, we saw a local beautiful Indian temple on the mountain, they began to take pictures from the car, so the taxi driver saw it and took us to the temple, opened the gate and escorted us to the temple. We took pictures there and moved on. All this was from the heart and absolutely free. On the 14th day and evening there was a little rain, it did not interfere with us, we also swam and rested. We went to Benaulim beach, the sea is cleaner, but there is such a strong current that you are terribly blown away and the water is colder there. The waves were big for the first 3 days then became much smaller. Children jumped on the waves, they liked it, they went out quite freely, they didn’t pull back. Great tides and tides. Honestly, according to the stories, I expected that everywhere there was a garbage dump and rubbish all around. Was pleasantly surprised. Everything is clear. Only a couple of small garbage dumps were seen where the pigs were digging cutely. Shops are all near the hotel. Prices are cheap, well traded. We went to Margao to the market, did not like it. You can buy all this in Colva cheaper and in a relaxed atmosphere. We took a scooter, the traffic is crazy, but you quickly get used to it. On the roads, all polite people will always let you pass if necessary. You can write endlessly about India. She won our hearts. Is it worth it to go there with children, I think with children over 3 years old it is worth it. The hotel to spend the night, wash and plunge into the pool in the morning suited us perfectly. Friendly staff, close to the sea. We will definitely go back there!!!! !
