Hotel Resort Lagoa Azul 3 *, Goa, India: review, description, review and hotel reviews

Goa makes a different impression on people. Some fall in love with this place definitively and irrevocably, returning here at every opportunity, others it disappoints ...

Nevertheless, fans of recreation in Goa are incomparably greater than those who criticize it. And it is not surprising: pleasure and unforgettable impressions give tourists not only the sea, the sun, magnificent beaches and bright plants of the tropics, which for us are exotic. It is in Goa that the best of European and Indian cultures are embodied. In addition, life here is surprisingly serene and relaxed, while it is overwhelmed with sensations.

Rest in this Indian province can be all year round, however, in the season from June to September, rains come here, brought by tropical monsoons. Both in winter and in summer it is warm here.

Rest on Goa

Traditionally the northern part of the resort tour operators are positioned as a youth and party, the central part is mixed, and the southern part is a more measured and solid resort zone. The total length of the beaches of Goa is more than one hundred kilometers. The coast is great for diving: under the water you can see stingrays, sharks, sea turtles and a large number of different exotic fish species.

In addition, Goa is a great option for tourists to improve their own organism, its rejuvenation and even weight loss. Most hotels here have their own spa centers, the procedures in which are based on the principles of Ayurveda. For baths, massage and masks are used natural products - herbs and fruit juices.

Another plus of Goa is a rich excursion program. Visiting Panaji - the ancient capital, the mysterious waterfall Dudhsagar, lakes with crystal clear water, plantations on which spices are grown, hunting for wild crocodiles in mangrove thickets along the banks of the Mandovi and Kumbarhua rivers, elephant riding and much more will not leave anyone indifferent.

Goa is very cheap shopping. Here you can buy a huge number of exotic souvenirs, including esoteric. Tourists from Goa bring tea, spices and even a local port.

Geographically, the province is divided into southern and northern zones. In the latter, the highest density of population and a relatively smaller number of hotels, which, moreover, most of them have no more than two or three stars.

Reviews

Very good hotel for a budget holiday in an exotic country. Our compatriots really liked the area: a lot of greenery and flowers. Nearby there is a very clean small lake. Often you can meet a heron or green large parrots, from which children are delighted. But about the location of the views of the Russians dispersed. Some did not like the fact that the beach is two kilometers away, despite a regular shuttle to the sea.

The rooms are cozy, small. Delicious dishes that are served in the main restaurant, fell in love with everyone. Those who bought tours only with breakfast, preferred mainly to eat in beach and coastal restaurants, where, for example, for a very ridiculous, almost symbolic amount, you can buy a huge fish, which immediately, in front of the buyer, cooked. And if you drink it with a local alcoholic drink called fennie, you can get a lot of pleasure from unusual taste sensations.

Judging by the reviews, our compatriots preferred to travel around the resort or by taxi, bargaining in advance, or on a rickshaw. Some rented a moped or a bicycle and themselves traveled around the countryside of Goa.

Minuses

Of the shortcomings Russians note the lack of Russian-speaking staff: those who do not know English, had to communicate with the dictionary. Another drawback, according to some, is the fee for an extra cot for children up to the age of five.

Those who prefer active recreation, a lot of entertainment, including nightlife, this hotel is not suitable. Here you can relax and enjoy peace and quiet, combining Ayurvedic treatments with swimming and sunbathing on the beach.
