Hotel Sud de Goa

Service parfait, trés belle plage, protégée et bien située. hotel parfaitement intégré dans un jardin tropical mature. Lobby superbe, chambres simples mais parfaite et de bon gout (le vrai luxe en fait !!). Les prix restent trés élevés pour Goa, mais il semble difficile d'imaginer mieux... Attention pour les personnes à mobilité réduite, il faut savoir que les chambres sont loin du lobby et de la plage (éparpillés dans le magnifique parc), la promenade est toutefois idillique d'un point à l'autre du domaine et des voiturettes electriques déservent l'ensemble du domaine en permanence.

We attended the hotel during the Xmas 2010 period. The check-in was done at 02am, after a long trip from Europe. The room we were proposed was clearly NOT a 4 people occupancy room. The hotel staff, although courteous, told me that *some* people were very happy with a king size bed + a single bed in a small room with 4 people in it. I refused. We finally got a room with 4 single beds, dormitory style. This is a real shame, for the price and a hotel of this ranking. The food was simple, quite ok, but the service was really awfully slow, and you had to ask several time before getting basics, like tea or a bottle of water. The pool was excellent, and the sea too, although it is unguarded (red flag everyday, no matter what...) and you are always hassled by locals trying to sell you souvenirs. Another surprise was that with the package we got, it was stated that we had to attend new-year's eve party, at a very expensive price. I took the precaution to ask if we had to, as we were leaving on the 30 December. I was told that, of course, it was notfor us, but 2 weeks before coming, I was *informed* that there was a *compulsary* Xmas party on the 25th, at a very expensive additionnal price. The party was a pure shame, the food was good, but nobody was enjoying or dancing. You could read everybody was sick about the rip-off ! Finally the exchange rate we were charged at the hotel was 20% more than the one of the airport... All this *really* spoiled the trip.

Un cadre sublime et calme pour GOA. Nous y étions hors-saison, début de la mousson. Superbe Piscine.
