In August I flew to Sri Lanka, I really liked the country, nature and of course the ocean.
Rested at the hotel HIBISCUS BEACH first line, Vaskaduwa near the city of Kalutara. Cool hotel! There is a garden, two swimming pools.
The ocean is very close and attracted with its colossal energy, view, spaciousness. You can swim in August, but there were waves. Despite everything, we swam, floated on the waves, just rejoiced and sunbathed!
For 12 days of rest, only one short-term rain fell out. There were very few tourists, so they enjoyed comfort, tranquility, unity with nature.
The hotel has excellent food, its own restaurant. Cuisine, menu for every taste. Every day lunches and dinners are different.
We ate for pleasure. Really delicious cooking.
Room overlooking the garden and pool, room cleaning daily with change of towels and linen.

If during the day they didn’t put fragrant flowers on the bed after cleaning, then in the evening they will politely ask permission to enter the room and carefully lay out these beautiful, pleasantly smelling flowers, (at no extra charge) such a service. Also, a device against mosquitoes is installed in the outlet, they regularly change the plate in it. And no mosquitoes disturbed. The room has air conditioning, a ceiling fan, LCD TV-set, a safe in the closet, a small cold box, a double bed and other furniture.
One couple from Europe came to this hotel for the 15th or 16th time supposedly saw their photo on the stand
hotel in 2010. In honor of the tenth visit in a row of this family, the hotel staff planted a name tree (sapling) together with them
that year, that's the tradition.
The attitude is excellent, polite to guests, tourists. In the evening, if someone did not come to dinner, they will call the room, ask
about well-being and bring a huge tray of food to your room. What happened to me when my head ached a lot after a long stay in the sun and I didn’t want to go to a restaurant. They apologized for the trouble and brought dinner, at that moment I forgot about my illness and my health became much better!
There are many excursions to choose from, Sri Lanka cannot be bypassed, not seen all. You have to come several times.
A beautiful and excellent excursion to Kandy, the former capital of the island. It takes all day, this includes: elephant riding, a tea factory, a plantation, a garden of trees from which medicines and various oils are made, a visit to the Peradeniya royal botanical garden - stunningly beautiful, and a Buddha temple. I ordered from the official travel agency.
Some excursions are cheaper with local people - beach guys and tukers.
Met them - tuker: Santa (lives near the hotel) and Amir met him on the beach. Honest people, having agreed on a trip and a price without deceit, they will take you where you need to, show them and wait.
I went with one and the other to another beach - Bentota Bay - a calmer and more beautiful place for swimming, and other excursions.
There is another guide at the hotel, his name is Sami, but he is 15-20% more expensive. But he organizes a more distant excursion
on a safari jeep to the Yala park in the very south of the island + a trip to the fort-fortress of Galle and swimming in the Unawatuna bay, all this in one
day. We were then four tourists and returned in the evening very satisfied.

So, dear tourists, fly to Sri Lanka and you will NOT regret it . .
I wish you good luck and great experiences.
