We rested at the SODDER'S BEACH CLASSIC hotel. We arrived there at night, at first we were a little shocked by the hotel. Firstly, the bus stopped on the road, and then it was necessary to walk with bags to the hotel, because there is a narrow path, only a taxi can get there. We enter the territory, the first thing I noticed was that their reception was on the street only under the roof and that's it. Then we saw frogs swimming in the pool. The water in the pool never changed during the entire time that we were there, they only fished leaves from the pool with juices. They settled us in the last building from the reception, in the common corridor there was garbage and bottles. We went into the room, and there was dirt, it was even scary to go into the toilet, the blanket was covered in blood, apparently a mosquito was killed on it, the sheets were all rusty, at first it seemed that there was not washed blood. We were shocked. We called the guide and asked how much it would cost to change the hotel to Gloria Anne 3 *, (one hotel chain), he seemed better to us.
They charged 270 dollars there, it was a pity for the money. We originally wanted to go to this hotel, but there were no places there, there were no tickets back, in general it turned out to be a complete lie, there were places, and we flew back on the plane. Somehow we spent the night in this dump, then the next day we changed the room, it had two balconies with a kitchen, a living room, and most importantly, it was more or less clean, we liked this room. The building was the first from the reception. Cleaning in the room was so-so, although we always left 20-30 rupees. They only made the pastels, never changed the bed linen, and in the end they put us a worn towel, like a clean one, it was neatly folded, I almost killed them there. But we took their towels to the beach. I would not dare to wipe themselves with them, we took our own towels. In all hotels with 3 * there is no bathroom, in principle, it is not needed there, we did not take off our shoes in the room.
Judging by the way they wash it, even if there was a bathroom, I wouldn’t get up there without slates. A lizard lived in our room for a couple of days, so beautiful, then it ran away. Breakfasts were normal, though pineapple and watermelon juices are disgusting. We had lunch and dinner mainly in the Babutos restaurant, it was to the left of the hotel, they cook delicious food there, how many times they tried to go to other restaurants, well, they don’t cook deliciously and that’s it. And we went to the store on the right, from the hotel, there is a normal Newtons supermarket. On the left there is also Newtons, but there are products on the shelves that cannot be sold, probably everything from the new Newton is sent, for example, a torn pack of cookies, etc. In general, we had a great rest, but we took the Eyes of the Tiger tour in vain, it disappointed us very much , and so much money was paid 560 dollars, for us this is a very decent amount. And all the guides are bred for this excursion, and they like to say: "This is my favorite excursion. "

It’s better to take the “Waterfall”, there will be everything and elephants, and monkeys, and a waterfall, you can even ride elephants, unlike our excursion. The guides promised us that we would be able to ride elephants, but it turned out that it was impossible. There, Russian girls walk along the beach, they work as guides, and hand out booklets with the same excursions, only half the price. True, insurance will no longer be valid, if God forbid something happens. But maybe you can buy it somewhere.
I had very good impressions from India, the ocean is just super, I would go there again.
