I went to India for the first time and was not sure that I would like the country itself (a lot of conflicting reviews), so I chose the hotel so that I could hide in case of emergency. I was frightened, of course, in vain, but thanks to the "Labyrinth" for suggesting this hotel, exactly what I asked for.
The check-in went very quickly, we filled out a small card, they immediately gave us the key, we were escorted by a hotel employee to our bungalow, on the way he told us where and when they were fed, what, where. Along with the key, they also gave me a card with a schedule of restaurants. Tipping, by the way, was not asked for (I read it happens in some places).
The room is spacious, there is a ceiling fan and air conditioning, sometimes only a fan was left, this was quite enough. The bathroom is combined, the shower is enclosed by a curtain and is located in a niche. There is shampoo, soap, lotion, everything is replenished when cleaning. The room has a kettle, cups, coffee, tea, sugar and powdered milk in bags. There is a TV, no Russian channels, a few British channels, the rest are Indian, it's funny how they switch from Hindi to English all the time. Free in-room safe, fridge with two bottles of water. We lived in a one-story bungalow, in which there are two rooms in total, for two rooms there is a common area at the entrance with a table and chairs. Cleaning every day, around 12 o'clock, if you put up a "do not disturb" sign, they will clean it anyway on the same day if you remove the sign. All rooms in the bungalow - there are two more.

The territory is green, there are many palm trees, there are hammocks - in the evening it is very cool to read a book in a hammock))). There is a swimming pool with a children's section. There is a volleyball court on the territory, around 5-6 pm the animator calls the team to play, there are always people. access to the beach directly from the territory, on the way there is a shower and a tap with water - crush sand and salt, plus a stall with coconuts. On the beach - free sun loungers, a cafe with free internet (they enter the password themselves, do not be surprised, it's all over Goa). a couple of stalls with scarves, slippers, towels. Indians walk past, offering to draw a pattern with henna. The beach itself is clean, there are always enough sunbeds.
The food is quite varied, there are both local dishes and European ones, everything is signed in English. If a dish runs out right under your nose, they immediately bring it again, and they will personally come to you to say that your dish is back. Several types of meat, there are fish, potatoes, rice, sauces, fruits, puddings, ice cream. . . vegetarian dishes are also available, everyone can find something for themselves.
in the evenings, on the roof of the administrative building in an open cafe, live music concerts are held - a good performance of world hits, however, great.
Internet in the common area (except the beach) is paid, 100 rupees per hour, 300 - 4 hours, and 1000 - 24 hours. The session can be interrupted and the time will not burn out. I had 24 hours for a week. We got it to the number, in general, I think it takes everywhere, there are a lot of networks, where one ends, a good reception of another network.
the people at the hotel are calm - families with children, couples about 30 years old, mostly Russians and British.
The hotel is a bit out of the way, but shops and cafes are about 5 minutes away, so you can hide in the hotel area and go on a break.
I recommend the hotel for a quiet comfortable stay with the family or for those who do not like clubs and loud parties.
