I have two impressions from this hotel. On the one hand, we were accommodated in a nice room (in a two-story house on the ground floor, away from the buzzing laundry room and the ocean view), on the other hand, it was bustle and noise. But everything is in order. This was our first acquaintance with Sri Lanka, so we didn’t care where to go and we went according to roulette. As soon as we arrived, they immediately began to accommodate us (apparently they have no problems with occupancy :-). They took us to the room, showed us, I gave a tip, and he asked: Do you like the room, is everything okay or not? I answer: Everything is great. And he repeats again, and so on several times. How could he have known that after reading reviews about hotels in Sri Lanka, we expected much, much worse. Then we immediately went to search the Internet. At the reception you can buy a card, use it to access the Internet (buy it once, and then you will find the same one in the nearest mobile phone store using a sample). The beach at the hotel is narrow, the entrance is deep, but this doesn’t matter, for relaxing on sun loungers there is an area behind a fence with neatly planted with palm trees. I was pleased with the recreation area, the palm trees created shade, a badger was running around, I watched as a cobra tried to swallow the badger, but they scared her and she spat out this wet lump. They brought an elephant into our territory, some of them hung on their trunks. But there is also a big disadvantage of the hotel - wedding ceremonies held every few days. And when these events are held, the recreation area is divided into two sectors by a rope (like we are in a house :-). On one side there is a crowd of guests hanging out, and on the other there are vacationers in swimming trunks. Well, this :-(. Along the edges of the recreation area there are towers, like in a zone (pun :-). This is especially noticeable in the evening, when the lights are turned on, and the guard is scurrying back and forth, and you are lying on a sun lounger, looking at the stars and drinking beer. But this is the only opportunity to be in silence, alone...
