India is an unusually charming and controversial country. Here, ancient temples coexist with office buildings, and sparkling new trains rush past villages where life has not changed for hundreds of years. Here sacred animals - cows - bask in the sun among vacationers on magnificent beaches near modern luxury hotels.
Hotel Resort De Tio Carmino 2 * is a popular tourist accommodation option in Goa, the smallest of the 28 Indian states.
About the resort
In fact, Goa is a narrow strip of land that separates the sea and mountains. The nature of the foothills delights many with its wealth: lakes, waterfalls, islands, thickets of mangoes, palm groves with a huge number of wonderful exotic animals. Together with the presence of beautiful beaches, this has turned the rest here into a golden dream of tourists from different countries.
India is a very vast, diverse and unforgettably beautiful country. Its calm and temperate climate is ensured by the presence of high mountains, and thanks to the rich pine forests and orchards, the air here is clean and fresh.
Geographically, the state of Goa is divided into North and South. Resort De Tio Carmino 2 * is located in the northern part, which is distinguished by a large population and a small number of hotels, mainly 2-3 stars. Due to the grayish sand covering the local beaches, the sea water off the coast is by no means transparent, therefore trips to North Goa are not expensive. Mostly budget vacationers, foreign students, and poor Indians come here. It is for this category of tourists that Resort De Tio Carmino 2 * was built.
In the South, beaches are covered with golden sand, expensive hotels with 4 and 5 stars are built here, surrounded by green gardens. In such places it is no longer possible to meet a cow standing in the water surrounded by bathing vacationers, as in the resorts of North Goa. Holidays in the South are relatively expensive, especially by Indian standards.

Reviews

Resort De Tio Carmino 2 * tourists call a very nice hotel, but for those who are used to Egypt and Turkey, a lot of things here will seem strange. According to reviews, the hotel will be convenient for those who do not expect something special here. The authors of the reviews report that it is rather far to go to supermarkets, and the road to them, according to them, is terrible: noisy, dusty, narrow, without sidewalk, with endless traffic. Nearby is a track with an endless stream of scooters, but still the movement here is less than in the center. On the street you can meet local residents, tourists, merchants, as well as cows and dogs. But the hotel itself is quiet, since the buildings are located deep in the territory.
Describing the hotel, guests mention the noticeable dilapidation of the rooms, as well as equipping them with old furniture and uncomplicated plumbing. Many relate to the shortcomings of the hotel indulgently: anyway, the hotel only has to spend the night. Those who only sleep at night in the hotel like everything here. Some reviewers believe that the hotel does not meet its rating, even for India it is simply "terrible" here. Such tourists, as a rule, are not advised to relax here, especially with children.
According to hotel guests, its territory is quite well-groomed, clean, beautiful, there are many flower beds, flowering plants. Both buildings overlook the pool, near which there are sun loungers "aged". The pool is surprisingly cleaned every night. The hotel is full of homeless cats and small kittens, many tourists feed them. However, there is no place to sit in the fresh air, vacationers regret. At the reception, guests also have nothing to do (in a small room, usually all staff watch American football on TV).
Many reviewers perceive their stay at the hotel positively. Rooms, according to vacationers, are cleaned every day. Trash is taken out regularly; there is always toilet paper in the bathroom. According to the guests, usually a room is a standard room: 2 beds, wardrobe, 2 armchairs, bedside tables, coffee table, dressing table with mirror, TV (not available in all rooms). There is also a kitchen, but from the working equipment there may be a refrigerator, and sometimes guests have to defrost on their own.
Many note the availability of friendly staff at Resort De Tio Carmino 2 *, who is ready to instantly fulfill any request. On all issues, you can agree with the hotel staff, there are no problems with mutual understanding, as the reviews indicate.
