hotel Amal Beach 3*, Bentota

The main advantage of this hotel is that it is small (only 12 rooms), so the attitude towards guests is very obsequious (who likes that :-))). But seriously, the main advantage (no, not the proximity of the railway) is its own private chic beach, sun loungers are reserved for each hotel guest (and this is not a joke). The second plus is the seafood restaurant at the hotel (its fame runs far ahead))). It's been a long time since we ate so much on the FRESHEST, NATURAL!!! seafood (in Thailand this is all artificially grown). There are complaints about cleaning, we only saw face towels for the first 2 days, then they disappeared and they weren’t brought to us (and we didn’t ask - there was no time for that))). But the beach boys kindly laid out towels on the sun loungers on the beach (this is not surprising, the markup on the beach is 20%). With great effort, we were even able to take a 2-day excursion at the hotel itself (although it cost us blood :-))) - apparently we were the first to order from them. Until the last day they did not charge us any money for our hotel stay, but we paid by card. True, they wanted to trick us into conversions, write off rupees from a dollar card, but the forgotten PIN code and innate greed did their job :-))). What can we conclude: booking a non-package hotel has its pros and cons. The advantages are an individual approach to hotel guests. The downside is that you have to keep your eyes open so that you don’t get scammed somewhere and on something. And EVERYTHING IS SUPER!!!
