Some report that they were not lucky with the number. Very negative they characterize № 101, which is located on the first floor, near the reception. Number, the holidaymakers divide, itself quite good, spacious, air conditioning, toilet, shower - everything works. But in it, complain guests, very damp - so much that nothing is possible to dry, the balcony is missing, the windows are always open there is no way: then living at home there, they are afraid of mosquitoes (in the evenings).

Residents recommend, if someone will be placed in this room, "resist until the last, suddenly lucky and will be able to move." Otherwise, you have to dry things in the courtyard of the restaurant.

According to reviews, a good and variedly prepared in the Blue Lagoon, the restaurant at the hotel.

Territory

As reported by the residents, the hotel is very quiet, quiet, the neighbors are almost invisible and can not be heard, no one is making noise. Settled here mainly tourists from Russia, Germany, England, Ukraine.

The hotel area is small, well-groomed, there is a swimming pool where all the chaise lounges are occupied by German elderly couples.

Living people report that sometimes the hotel turns off the lights - not for long, but daily.

Staff

According to reviews, the hotel staff does not bother. The hotel staff are quite friendly. But, as many people say about them, they are extremely lazy.

The authors of the reviews find it difficult to put in the minus the hotel such a feature of the staff as the inability to speak in Russian. As you can see from the reviews, the holidaymakers have no special complaints to the staff. They advise from the very beginning to give employees chocolate, leave a small tip for cleaning and be sure to smile. But many tourists believe that a good attitude to the guests on the part of the hotel staff does not depend on material incentives. It's just a response to the sincerity and good nature of the guests themselves.

Ocean

The Indian Ocean, according to reviews of vacationers - "it's just a song"! Those wishing to visit Goa are advised to bring along a pair of boards and fins for bodysurfing. On the board you can lay down your belly and catch a wave - she will take the bather to the shore, on the beach he rolls out all in the foam! The sun is very hot here - you need to take a cream. In order not to burn, vacationers swim in a T-shirt and bandana, because the cream is quickly washed off with water.

The weather here is mostly clear and sunny. Usually the water in the ocean is warm - +29 degrees, air - about + 30-33 degrees, humidity is always elevated. Residents of Star of The Sea Resort complain that the towels on the balcony do not dry, they have to be dried in the room.

Especially enthusiastic tourists speak about sunsets on the ocean, lay out in the network many beautiful pictures of the local nature. Sunsets, many believe, is why go to Goa in general. Eloquently conveys impressions of their greatness and magic retelling the conversation of one of the holidaymakers with a Russian-speaking guide, whom he asked: "Are not you tired of seeing the sunsets with tourists for seven years?" The guide told him: "Far from it."

The beach in Benaulim, according to the authors of the reviews, is excellent! The ocean is just magnificent. Here you forget about all the disadvantages of everyday life and unusual features of the local mentality. Near the fishing boats should be carefully looked at the feet, warn tourists: fishermen throw out snake networks, on which it is better not to step.

Excursions

Tourists also comment on excursions very positively. It is noted as the most interesting excursions to the beach of Palolem and to Cabo de Rama (fort), which can be reached by a local taxi (for 2200 rupees). Before Kolva can be reached on foot, according to the authors of the reviews, for 40 minutes. Unhurried step.

Excursions, travelers noted, became expensive due to the upswing, but the output can always be found. Many advise to go on a taxi tour. The authors of the reviews categorically do not advise to use the bus: firstly, it is unrealistic to wait for it, and secondly, there tourists are "tamped" there!

And another advise: the host party, according to the authors of the reviews, the cost of excursions is greatly overestimated, but local small agencies are still not worth asking because of their dubious reliability. Reviews recommend using the services of a local large company, which already has positive reviews - "Your Goa".

Benaulim

According to reviews, Benaulim - a picturesque village: bulls, cows, pigs ... Chipmunks jumping on trees, dogs lie everywhere on the ground. Authors of the reviews urge vacationers to take care during walks: along the roadside on the road to the beach grows a lot of palm trees with coconut, we must make sure that a huge, heavy coconut does not fall on the head of the walker.

Benaulim, according to many, is one of the best places in southern Goa. Here everything is enough: people, vegetation, the benefits of civilization. In other places the beaches are either overpopulated, or, according to the authors of the reviews, there is "something, but not enough." All livestock sits here in the courtyards, tourists assure, you do not see pigs or cows walking along the beach. A huge number of dogs, but they are mostly sterilized and vaccinated, as can be learned from the clipped ear.

In Benaulim there is a currency exchange office (near the supermarket at the crossroads) with an acceptable course. Travelers do not advise changing money at the airport. There are also two ATMs.

Location:

Guests of Star of The Sea Resort report that the hotel, as indicated in the advertisement, is really very well located: in the vicinity, across the road, there is the Kadar store (by local standards, this is a real supermarket). Here sell water and other necessary goods.

At roadside traders you can buy fruits: strawberries, watermelon, mandarins, pomegranates, grapes, etc. The most delicious juice in the heat on the beach, according to tourists, from mangoes. Traders always greet good-naturedly, unobtrusively calling to their shop. Also behave very modestly on the beach: after the offer of services immediately go away.

A lot of people respond to the successful location of the hotel. Nearby are shops, a bank, a pharmacy. Near the hotel there is always a taxi on duty, a little further you can sit in tuk-tuki. The hotel is located in the very center of the commercial life. It is convenient to get to the sea: only 5-7 minutes walk or, as tourists say, you can drive up on the tuk-tuk. Near the supermarket is sold unusually delicious pastries, there you can drink tea and coffee. This institution is not quite presentable, but the products here are very tasty, according to the holidaymakers. In Benaulim, it is difficult to remain hungry, according to the authors of the reviews. They advise not to be afraid to taste the dishes of local cuisine - it's delicious! On the beach there are many necks, each is good in its own way, there is plenty to choose from.

Lovers of souvenirs can rejoice: around the Star of The Sea Resort is selling them for sale a large variety.

About vacation

The order in the hotel is subject to local natural conditions, as well as everywhere in the resorts. From 13-30 to 16-00 (lunch), vacationers usually go to the hotel: take a break from the heat, eat fruit and take a nap. To catch a wave go to the beach at half past eight in the morning, as at this time there is usually a calm, from the ocean only goes rolling. And by lunchtime there is a steady breeze from the sea.

Rest on Goa, according to travelers, is the best, here is created such an atmosphere that allows you to disconnect from the outside world, forget about your problems. Many people plan to return here more than once.

The reviews are called a worthy budget option for people ready to turn a blind eye to the little things that are set up to rest and discover the unforgettable world of Goa.
