Susagade Resort 2 hotel reviews
The tourists have a good opinion about this hotel. Of course, there are not so many amenities here. But, according to most guests, it fully justifies its two-star rating. Not too demanding tourists who prefer active holidays during the day and as calm as possible at night, this hotel suits very well.
The staff at the Susagade Resort 2(Goa), according to most vacationers, is polite and treats their duties well. Bed linen and towels in the rooms are changed daily. And wash clothes in this hotel is very good. At least it does not have a gray tint, like in many other cheap hotels in India.
Where to swim and sunbathe
There are several beaches in the village of Vagator. Susagade Resort 2hotel guests (India, Goa), if desired, can choose absolutely any of them. The most beautiful beach (not only in the village, but throughout North Goa) is "Big Vagator". The views here are simply magnificent. The beach is covered with sand, sunbathing and swimming on it is very convenient. However, judging byreviews of tourists, local Indians strongly interfere with rest here. Most of them come to coastal resorts from remote remote villages (usually once in a lifetime). And each of these local village tourists definitely wants to be photographed against the background of the “white man”, so that later they can show the pictures to family and friends.
In the north of Vagator there is another small hidden beach "Chapora Beach". There are no annoying Indians here. But in order to get to this beach, you need to go along a rather uncomfortable path. Prices in cafes here are higher than on other Vagator beaches. The fact is that there is no access for cars to the coastline, and the owners of local cafes have to deliver products using the labor of workers, who, accordingly, need to be paid.
"Small Vagator" is also a relatively convenient beach located near Susagade Resort 2 (Vagator). The descent to the sea, however, is not very good here. On the path you can meet cows, and it ends with a public toilet. The latter is mistaken by some naive tourists for a local landmark, perfect as a backdrop for a photo. The beach itself is divided by rocks into several lagoons. The view here is just great, but swimming in the sea due to the many stones is somewhat unsafe.
Ozoron Beach is located south of Small Vagator. Swimming here is convenient. In addition, on this beach you can also look at the face of the god Shiva carved in the rock, madeone of the Italian sculptors in the last century.
If you wish, you can rent a sun lounger and an umbrella on all the beaches of Vagator for a small fee. Experienced tourists advise caution when going down to the seashore in the village. In most cases, the paths surround, albeit rare, but still the jungle. In any case, you should definitely look under your feet, otherwise you can step on a snake.
Attractions
In addition to the face of Shiva, tourists at the Susagade Resort have the opportunity to see:
- Catholic Church Our Lady Of Valankani;
- Fort Chapor.
Of course, the most interesting attraction of Vagator is Chapor Fort. It represents an ancient fortress located on a hill, from which walls, windows and loopholes remained intact and intact.
