OK hotel, good value, basic. First visit Goa so nothing to compare. Issues: relatively high taxi costs (arranged by the hotel) and poor taxi from the airport (cost INR800 & he had no change at all)(other trip R600 for just10 mins)(have to trust hotel for taxis due to remote location); some staff had difficulty with my London English; noisy neighbours (shouting and barking dog) and loud bell one morning, some very noisy guests on one night -these not hotel's fault. All staff good service. Most of guests indian. Breakfast limited but ok, mostly Indian. Ground floor room nr reception (good size, clean). No insect problems -ants in corridor, mosquitos in reception. Disco attached to hotel -far from room so not problem. 24Hr Wifi vouchers from reception limited 250MB (cheap at R25). OK for browsing but signal very variable with location. Regular power cuts for few seconds. Nothing in local area but famous restaurant next door.
15 min walk to beach (not slow); country road, palm forest, rice paddies, some houses. Wonderful wildlife bonus (birds/eagles/butterflies/buffalo/pigs/chicken). Beaches beautiful, few people. Beach road to Anri's shack. Second meal there -yellow potato fries with FRIED FLIES (shame as Kingfish was tasty). Other shack Alex's 30mins north -more tourists. Not bad but toasted sandwich tasted too much butter. Martins Corner restaurant, food just OK, but maybe because didn't have fish, atmosphere good, entertainment good, gets full after 8pm.
