Since I settled on maternity leave, for the third time I have been trying to winter in Moscow and give up every time in a month. Well, I can’t convince myself that I like eternal permafrost, a constantly dirty machine, kilometer traffic jams and plastic vegetables-fruits. Leisure with a child is present in two versions: either you sit for weeks in four walls with snot waist -deep, or you crawl out for a walk and feel like Fedor Konyukhov, who conquered the North Pole. At the same time, Moscow life, full of “bliss and pleasures”, costs fabulous money. As a result, after the painful November, I spit and buy a ticket to Goa each time.
I want to go to Goa
Wintering in Goa is extremely pleasant for the body, and for the soul, and for the family wallet. Firstly, there is the softest climate in Asia, and secondly, really cheap. Moreover, the respectable south of Goa does not interest me – it is just expensive, emasculated and therefore lifeless. The North is an affordable, cheerful, seething, with many Russian mothers with children who actively go according to lectures, developing classes, children’s cafes and evening film examinations in open air. The Mama-Data party for a long time for a long time was pushing not only the famous hippies Goa, but even the Hindus themselves. Signs in Russian, menu in Russian, Russian kindergartens with semolina and even manicure all Russians. Indians are very peaceful to the capture of their native territory – they love people and especially children. The North has only one drawback – only ascetic houses with pink walls and plastic furniture are offered for rent. All of them are absolutely the same and they cannot be called cozy. But last year I met a pleasant Russian couple, who holds a family hotel right next to the ocean, and realized that a five -star luxury happens at affordable prices.
“Dad Jolie” is not just a hotel, network and faceless. Vlad and Masha put the soul there. Each guest feels as if he is visiting friends on a chic Indian villa. The hotel is buried in the Tropical Garden – arbors with canopies, statues of Buddha, a pool with sun loungers, colonial -style numbers, spacious terraces and restaurant with open -air tables. The chef Danila enchantedly prepares all kinds of sea reptiles and an exotic Indian cuisine for a romantic dinner, and for children-homemade cutlets with mashed potatoes, chicken soup or borscht, as well as cheesecakes, dumplings and pancakes-all that they used to eat at home. There is a hotel in a closed guarded territory, and you can relax that children will not run beyond its limits. Every evening in the open -air garden, Masha shows cartoons for the smallest on the projector, and later – films for large ones. There is Ayurveda, and massage, and the Russian nanny. But most importantly, in just three minutes there is a multi -kilometer sandy beach and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
Vlad and Masha will give a 15% discount to the one who boils the air ticket through the Onetwotrip website and calls the password – Onetwotrip Hotel! If accommodation is more than a month, then the discount will be 50% of the official cost. And also the Hotel “Papa Jolie” will give everyone who called the password, VIP transfer – they will meet and bring in a comfortable car. Link to the hotel website here: goapapa.com
May Buddha be with you!
