The staff is very polite, everyone is very friendly and sociable. The room is cleaned every day, fresh bed linen, bathroom accessories and clean towels. They always bring water when cleaning and leave it in the room for free. You can ask on which days you do not need to wash or hang a sign that cleaning is not required. I can't tell what kind of kitchen it is, as they always ate in other places 😁
The people are friendly and welcoming. The air is filled with the aromas of flowers and spices.
However, the service leaves much to be desired. The nearest market is 1.5 km from the hotel and the road from the village to the hotel is not illuminated. 1.5 km in the dark if you return after 18 hours. Similarly, if you return along the beach. Take a flashlight with you. Signs to the hotel on the way would be very useful, the first time I got lost, there are no signs or they are not visible in the dark. I thank the residents who show the way.
The territory of the hotel is well-groomed, beautiful, near a swamp with lotuses.
Upon departure, an unpleasant precedent happened for me with a mini-bar. There is no price list for a mini-bar in the room. The cost of tea water, carefully supplied in the room, is overestimated by 5 times. Check the details at the time of check-in, even if you are tired.
The room was cleaned well. She left tips. The water is warm in the room, the plumbing is clean, the linen is white, clean.
The breakfasts were cooked deliciously: scrambled eggs, toast with jam/ butter, rice with vegetables, sabji or lentils with vegetables, coffee/ tea, cereals with milk for children, chapatis or other flatbreads, watermelons, pineapples from fruits. In Betilbatim, you can buy bananas and tangerines from fruits. I bought papaya, mango, apples, exotics in Kolva, about 2 km (it's nicer on the beach) or in Margao (15 minutes by bus from the village). I bought natural coffee in Margao, I couldn't find it closer.
The hotel is popular with Indians, they come in large companies, drink half the night, walk, make noise. Early in the morning, the hallway and stairs are dirty, alcohol bottles and other joys of stormy nights. When choosing a quiet, secluded place to relax (the beach), keep in mind that the hotel may turn out to be different and you will be knocked on the head half the night, loudly enjoying your rest and throwing beer bottles on the balcony.
Wi-fi is unstable, for social networks it is normal.
The road to the beach, like the beach itself, is not cleaned, strewn with food packaging + the sea carries out human waste products, there are no garbage containers. At the same time, it is much cleaner than the road from the airport to the car park in Yekaterinburg.
The price tag is like in the Turkish three, the level falls far short of the two.
I did not use the services of a massage parlor.
We have been vacationing for the third time in 6 years , everything was fine , but recently something got boring , we rested in cabins , the word repair, we forgot what it is, the walls with holes have become thin, the breakfasts are right at the bottom, the most that remains is the greenery of the hotel, it's just a buzz! The management has changed and the quality of the hotel has become worse, alas, next time to a different place!
