Ticlo Resort 2 *, Goa, India: review, description, guest reviews and rates.

Even in the 60s of the 20th century, the Indian province of Goa was little known to the world. Her beauty was rediscovered by hippies, making this island a kind of mecca for its movement. The most beautiful beaches of Goa considered it their duty to visit all those who were devoted to the spirit of individual freedom in the world of politicians and officials.

After a while, the tourist agencies learned of the exotic island, which gave rise to a "boom" for the construction of hotels and the development of its infrastructure. Hotel Ticlo Resort 2 * is located in the famous city of Calangute, which has become a significant tourist center on the northern coast of Goa.

Calangute

Former a small fishing village before the arrival of hippies, Calangute gradually became a popular holiday destination not only for them, but for travelers from all over the world. The tourist season in Goa lasts from November to February, when the rainy season ceases, and the air temperature of +31 degrees is comfortable for residents from any part of the world.

The development of the coast by hotels, as well as the improvement of the world famous Calangute beach, has led to the fact that today it is the most visited tourist state of India. Hotel Ticlo Resort 2 * is located on the second line from the beach, but is well known for those who prefer a quiet family vacation away from beach parties. The distance of 400 meters from the coastline is not an obstacle for hunting to the entertainment of youth, so the democratic prices in this hotel open the doors to the "descendants" of the hippies.

In addition to the price, Ticlo Resort 2 * attracts tourists with its location.

It should be noted that this "lack" of the hotel is completely offset by the cost of living in it, and the most enterprising visitors rent a motor scooter and study all the beaches of Goa.
