Facilities and Tariff

Posted on 06:41 by Unknown
Each 2BHK service apartment on the first floor has:
* A double bed in each of the two bedrooms
* A sofa and a table in the sitting room
* A color TV set with DTH connection
* A steel cupboard
* A kitchen with a refrigerator, dinnerware (plates, cups, forks and spoons), cooking utensils, a mixer, a pressure cooker, and a gas stove with two burners. You can cook food on your own. Cooking gas is free. You'll only need to get raw materials and ingredients for cooking from the grocery stores nearby.
* One bathroom with a commode (European toilet) inside the bathroom. Water for bathing gets heated via solar panels. Water for bathing can also be heated using a handi (vessel) from the kitchen

NOTE:
This particular pink colored apartment complex has only one floor. Two 2BHK apartments are on the first floor and on the second floor is a covered terrace where you can put your clothes (both inner and outer wear) to dry after washing.
The sheets covering the terrace deflect all the rays of the sun making the apartments remain cool without air-conditioning even during the summers. So one can get to breathe, cool natural air coming from the 4-5 windows and doors in each apartment (every room, and even the kitchen has a balcony). There are fans in every room.

Each 2BHK apartment can take up to 6 members of a family or group comfortably. 4 can sleep on two double beds and 2 on mattresses arranged on the floor. We'll provide linen (bedsheets, pillows and a sheet to pull over the body) to all.

We can take max 8 persons in each of these 2BHK apartments. In other words, 16 persons totally.
Hence, they are ideal for groups or families coming down to Goa for a holiday.

NOTE: If you book a 2BHK apartment for 2 people, one of the bedrooms will be locked so it'll turn into a 1BHK apartment.

About the surroundings: There is a pub (Fiplees Pub) with which we share a boundary and one of our 2BHK apartments (Property 2B) faces it. Many a times, especially during the weekends, live western music is played even past midnight. This may not be the right apartment for guests who want to go to bed early. In the other apartment (Property 2A) the music is not very audible inside.

For the time being, the pub has been closed for renovation.

Tariff (From 20 Dec - 05 Jan, 2014):
For 1-6 people: Rs.6000/- per night (non ac) and Rs.7000/- per night (ac)
This means that if 1-6 members of your family or group come during this peak period the cost is fixed at Rs.6000 per night for the non ac option and Rs.7000 per night for the ac option.

Tariff (From 06 Jan - 31 May, 2014):
For 1-2 people: Rs.2000/- per night (non ac) and Rs.2500/- per night (ac)
For 3-4 people: Rs.2500/- per night (non ac) and Rs.3000/- per night (ac)
For 5-6 people: Rs.3000/- per night (non ac) and Rs.3500/- per night (ac)
This means that if 1-2 persons come during this period the cost will just be Rs.2000 per night for them if they choose the non ac option and Rs.2500 if they choose the ac option and they'll have the whole apartment to themselves. If 3-4 members of a family or group come, it'll cost Rs.2500 totally for the non ac option and Rs.3000 for the ac option and if 5-6 members come, it'll cost 3000 totally for all of them for the non ac option and Rs.3500 for the ac option..

If you use Google to compare these rates with hotel rates you'll discover that they are much cheaper. And you get two bed rooms, a sitting room, a kitchen and a covered terrace to yourself versus just one room in a hotel!

They are ideal for families, honeymoon couples, long married couples, company employees, backpackers, groups of friends or for groups of students looking to come down here for a vacation.

Check in and check out policies:
- The check in time is 11AM and the check out time is 9AM on the next day.

- If you arrive in Goa in the morning and if there is a booking on the previous day, you'll be able to check into the apartment / villa at 11AM only. This is because the guests staying in the apartment / villa will check out at the official time of 9AM and the house keeping people will need two hours to get the place ready for you.

- If there is no booking on the day before you come (you can call to ask this just before you leave your town for Goa), you can come directly from the bus depot, railway station or the airport and check into the apartment / villa in the morning before 11AM (provided it's after 6AM).

- If you need to check in at an odd hour (before 6AM in the morning), you can pay the full day charge for the previous day so we can keep the apartment empty for you to come directly from the station to rest.

- If you arrive in the afternoon or evening, you'll still need to pay the whole day charge as the apartment / villa will be kept empty for you starting from 11AM.

- If you continue after the check out time of 9AM, and leave in the afternoon or evening, you'll again have to pay the full day charge even if you don't spend the whole night in the apartment / villa.
This is because we won't be able to put other guests in the apartment / villa in the afternoon or evening as most trains and buses reach Goa in the morning.
You can avoid this charge by keeping your luggage in a storage room we'll provide at 9AM and go for sightseeing till you have to come back and collect your luggage to catch your train, bus or flight.
