I'll start from the beginning. When we were going on vacation, we read a lot of reviews about this hotel, and I think mine will come in handy for someone! A very long and tiring flight! We flew from Kyiv to Sharjah 4.45 and then to Colombo another 4.30. Connections are good, you don't have to wait. From the airport to the hotel it takes 2 hours by bus (don't trust anyone who writes 3 or 4, we spotted exactly 2 hours! ). We arrived at the hotel at 6.00 in the morning, began to check in, settled all 15 people, except for our company (5 people), I had to give 10 dollars per room to speed up the process. We were a little upset by this reception, but when we saw the ocean, everything was taken care of!! ! After breakfast at 7.30 we were already settled. The rooms are good, large, bright, but have not seen repairs for a long time! There are no complaints about nutrition, they took breakfast and dinner, a buffet in the morning shresh, omelettes, buns, etc. several types of meat, sea food, a lot of sweets, fruits and ice cream in the evening! For lunch we went to a cafe on the beach, 100 meters from the hotel, right behind the Blue Lagoon! . The portions are very large, girls can freely take one for two! They ate mostly shrimp and fish, they were served with a side dish of potatoes and salad, very convenient! The ocean is warm, jumping on the waves is a pleasure! We went on an excursion to Kandy and along the river. I liked everything, but the road back from Kandy took 6 hours, so decide for yourself whether you are ready for this or not. The tour was taken from the guide Omala, a very good and kind person. We met the animator Ali, and our vacation became even cooler! We played volleyball during the day, and billiards in the evening. In general, the people there are very kind and sympathetic, everyone smiles and wants to touch you, get to know you. There are no Russian speakers in the hotel, prepare yourself or take an interpreter with you. Outside the territory of Beach Boys they speak a little Russian, you can chat. Once they swam to the island, there are bigger waves, and there is no whirlpool. It costs 100 rupees, they can tell you 200 but don't be fooled, it takes 30 seconds to go there. ask Lucky and he will help you. Prices for cigarettes are high from 500 rupees per pack, so stock up. My husband didn't have enough had to buy there. Alcohol: beer 150 rupees in the store, red rum 13 dollars. (try very tasty). From May 1, the hotel was closed for renovation, I think it will be even better by the next season. We loved it so much, we're going next year!
