Goa is tantamount to Bath in England. People from all over the world travel there to relax, eat and rejuvenate.
Get over the less than 21st Century amenities and the bed making, clean up and you will find a quaint hotel for the cost. The Roundcube is the southernmost part of Goa without being as highfalutin as the 5 star resorts and geriatrics of North Goa. South Goa has cleaner beaches than North Goa and don't want to swim with bottles or other garbage.
The shower & toilet are one unit which requires a squeege. You have to buy your own shampoo, soap and toilet paper. There are numerous stores within walking distance to obtain your toiletries.
Roundcube is a LOT safer than the beach bungalows down the road. There is a huge armoire to lock your belongings. We saw numerous tourists toting their backpacks around with all their stuff because their bungalows had no security. Who wants to hang out at the beach with all their things?
Our room had an open window to the bathroom to keep mold from growing in the shower/toilet so keep the door closed and the mosquitoes will not find you. Otherwise bring a mosquito net and some DEET.
Make sure to pay for the AC because Goa is humid.
The hotel has internet downstairs and exchanges money at the current rate without all the annoying fees. The staff can also help book train rides, plane tickets to other areas of India. If you must have someone who speaks English, they are quite fluent.
There are rickshaws, Vespas and motorcycles for rent around the corner. The best bar, The Cuba, is directly in front of the hotel and offers cheap eats. There are also numerous restaurants on the beach that will barbeque your fish, crab or lobster right after you pick it up.
When we return to Goa, we will definitely stay at Roundcube again!
