| − | While the beaches in Bordi, Gorai, Juhu, Alibag, Kashid and Murud-Janjira are well-developed, with multiple accommodation choices, the rest remain still off the tourist circuit. The primary reason is lack of good accommodation choices. At most of the other beaches, the only decent stay options are properties owne and managed by the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC), a govt. organisation. These MTDC resorts have amazing location with great views, but being govt. run, these are not among the best in service, activities and food.
| + | Mentre le spiagge di Bordi, Gorai, Juhu, Alibag, Kashid e Murud-Janjira presentano una buona varietà di infrastrutture turistiche, tutte le altre rimangono escluse dai circuiti turistici per la mancanza di stutture ricettizie. L'unica scelta decente è costituita dalle proprietà gestite dall'Ente turistico statale il "Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation" (MTDC). Essendo questi resorts a carattere statale e non privato non brillano certo nel servizio e nella somministrazione del cibo. |
