We rested at the hotel from 28.09 to 04.10 together with my husband. The hotel is located 180 km south of Colombo, in Dikwella, near Tangalle. The Indian Ocean surrounds the hotel on three sides. The hotel is not bad, the area is very green with chipmunks. On the last day, they even saw a snake in the pool, they said that it was not poisonous. A hotel for a calm, quiet, family vacation. If you want to travel with a group, this hotel is not for you. There are no special discos, only on certain days, music does not play even during the day by the pool. At our request to make us a disco, we were asked to pay 10.000 rupees, a little less than $ 100. They were not used to Russians and Ukrainians at all, after talking with Luka (a manager from the restaurant who speaks Russian), he said that tourists are mostly Italians and Germans. We are a more noisy and cheerful people, we need company, music... silence for foreigners. Free Wi-Fi is available on site around the pool and the restaurant. They gave a good number, we presented our Khlebny Dar to Luka. They love our vodka in autumn. The rooms were cleaned every day, the bed was also changed every day, different animals were made from towels, they didn’t even always leave money. Kettle, coffee, tea, cream in the rooms. The safe is on the counter, not very big for small things, the laptop will not fit. We had BB food, it was not very possible to take out food, and in principle there was nothing. Breakfast: scrambled eggs, chicken sausages, tomatoes, cucumbers, confections, buns, hard cheese, very curry chicken and fruits (pineapple, papaya, bananas), there were fresh juices, tea, coffee. Lunch, dinner went to UPENDRO, very tasty, he is very polite, understands Russian, at the end of the holiday he gave us all souvenirs. King prawns 1200 rupees just under 10 dollars 1 dollar = 129 rupees. The same price for a serving of squid, crabs, fish (tuna). Lobster costs 2200 rupees, but it is not always available, so if you plan to eat, order in advance. Fresh juice 200 rupees. Beer is the same. The main course is served with salad, French fries, rice and bread. In Uperdro also took excursions. Kandy for 1 person $ 45, as the tour operator has 60. A very difficult move. We visited a waterfall, a tea factory with tea tasting, a botanical garden, a garden of spices and elephants. Factory price of tea: 100 gr. Tea 320 rupees, fruit 300 rupees. Elephant ride 2000 rupees. Then we went on an excursion to Yalla Park - a jeep safari - $ 35 per person. Prices depend on the number of people. There were 8 of us. If there are 3 of you, it is correspondingly more expensive. Information for smokers: take cigarettes from Ukraine!!! ! It's very expensive and people who smoke said they weren't. Buy red rum calypso the price is the same in the supermarket as in the market 1450 rupees. Where there is a price tag, there is no point in bargaining; in other stores on the market, drop the price by 2 times. Coconut 40 rupees, pineapple from 150 rupees, bananas from 80.
