Школьная мечта превратилась в громадное разочарование School dream turned into a huge disappointment

Hello everyone who reads my review or considers this hotel for a holiday. I’ll say right away: “For no reason in the world, people don’t fly to Dikwella to rest !!! ” From school I dreamed of visiting Sri Lanka, for half a year before the trip I read all the reviews and advice on the country and its inhabitants. In general, I will be as brief as possible, the flight with a child of 3 years old tired us, but the transfer from the airport to the hotel = 6 hours sausage along a winding road at a pace-brake-gas, we were just almost killed, upon arrival the guide Silva, who Subsequently, he will lick your ass so that they gild his pen, greet us with some kind of dibile rite of smoking, it would all be wonderful, if not for 10 hours of flight and 6 transfers, not counting the time at airports. In general, the first week was still nothing for us - for breakfast and dinner there was a buffet: 5 salads, fish, two types of meat, spaghetti, two cakes, fruits, which the waiter gives exactly 3 quarters of pineapple, papaya and watermelon rings. It seems to be on the ocean, and you rely on seafood and fruits ?? ? Don’t even count, you can only taste seafood at a restaurant on the beach, lunch for two is 50 bucks, seafood is terribly tasteless at the hotel, besides, it’s 2-3 times more expensive than a beach restaurant, you can’t even look for seafood on the buffet if you’re lucky catch the head of a shrimp, don't count on more. I don’t want to give the impression that I’m a glutton, not at all, but forgive me to go for that kind of money and starve in a hotel, this is no longer funny. More about this. The second week of our stay at the hotel there were few tourists left, and for dinner and breakfast the buffet was canceled and fed according to the menu, I tell you: they bring you the menu - the first item - salad - from tomato and avocado, there are no more salads, that is, the choice is only in desire or lack of desire to eat it. Next, soup-rice congee with a chicken egg, again, the choice is yes or no, Next, a choice of 3 hot dishes - fish and potatoes, chicken and potatoes, or sooooo spicy rice with seafood (do not expect to see something more than shrimp heads there, this maximum seafood that will be served to you in this hotel). So we choose chicken with potatoes - they bring on a huge plate a tiny potato like a tangerine in their skins, cut into 4 thin rings and poured with sauce, next to it lies a fried piece of chicken in sauce gram 60 from the force, Voila, we ate. What is most interesting is that you can’t order anything else - that’s all, you ate. On the sweet table, to choose from, either a piece of cake or fruit, a piece of cake is small and also tasteless, but fruit is a completely different story - they give 3 quarters of a pineapple ring and three pieces of papaya, and since they forgot to buy watermelons for a small number of tourists, it was all fruit. And now imagine we are sitting with my husband and daughter 3 years old, who not only have nothing to eat, because we haven’t seen mashed potatoes for two weeks, at the end of a hungry dinner I order fruit for all three, the waiter brings us 2 plates and puts me and husband, and I ask in bewilderment and the child?? ? You should have seen his indignant look !!! . I was very disappointed with the hotel, the staff and the owner of the hotel, the disregard for tourists was, and I declare this not only on behalf of our family, everyone was indignant: Ukrainian tourists, Russians, French, and an English woman who, upon arrival on the 3rd day, asked: " Are you satisfied with this hotel? " In general, how much I love to relax, but here we simply could not wait to leave. At lunchtime, we went to eat at a restaurant on the beach, so local beach-fights, by the way, there are very good people, they cook normally and feed heartily for 50 bucks, but in the evening there is nowhere to go to eat, and they don’t feed at the hotel, they bully. A separate topic with a mini-bar, be ready right away - they will lose you to the fullest, every day, I came up three times and asked not to replenish the mini-bar, but they obediently wave their heads, but do what they want, so you went to the beach, you they replenish the mini bar, replenished 1 fanta and 2 cola, and the bill will be for 2 fanta, 2 cola, 2 soda, 2 water, 2 beer, in general for 17 dollars, you tell them, yes, I didn’t drink the whole mini bar, they say -: "Well, nobody knows this, you won't prove anything, " and until you pay, the transfer to the airport will not take you, we've been trying with the operator even to solve this problem for half an hour, everything is useless. Therefore, who nevertheless decided after reading to fly to this rotten country, go ahead, fly and know that they are waiting for you there to award you with the honorary title of LOCHA !! !
