Hello everyone, I decided to write my review about this hotel, maybe someone will be interested.
1. Road
To be honest, it's beyond words how hard it was for us all the way to the hotel. The trip itself begins 3 hours before the departure of the plane, that is, registration opens 3 hours before. If you eat with a company, like us (6 people), and want to sit together, then you need to be there in 3 hours, then almost 5 hours of summer in Dubai, there is a transfer that lasts at best 2 hours (in ours it was 3.5), then another 4.5 hours to Colombo, after that an hour for passport control, luggage, meeting with a representative of the tour operator, etc. and the most difficult part of the journey is the road to the hotel by bus. It was very hard, we drove for 5.5 hours. Now, if you count, the whole journey takes 22.5 hours. The return journey is about 4 hours longer. So, upon returning home, having weighed all the pros and cons, we all unanimously decided that we would not go on such a road again in life, and if we did, then this place should be better than paradise : ))

2. Now about the settlement. They settled us very quickly, we asked for three rooms on the 2nd floor, and did not regret it, the ocean view is wonderful : )
3. Numbers. The first impression is shock))) I have never seen such a murdered bathroom in hotels, although then you get used to it and you just don’t notice it, after all, we didn’t come to sit in the bathroom for a whole vacation))) Maybe we just have such a room got caught, but for those who care about the number itself, it obviously won't like it.
4. Territory. Very green, well-groomed, clean, a bunch of chipmunks are running around.
5. Nutrition. I really liked it, we took breakfast and dinner, there was always something to choose from for both Europeans and Sri Lankans. I liked that there were always a lot of fruits, I already miss them upon arrival : ) For lunch we went to Pierre once (exit from the beach and to the left) - delicious, another time to Upendra (exit near the pool and to the right) - very tasty, portions in two times more than in Pierre, for 6 people they took 3 servings. By the way, about Pierre, a scammer of pure water, brought our vacationers to a jewelry store, where they were sold artificial sapphires (at the price of real ones), while they were given a certificate that they were real. Thank God everything ended well, but be careful with Pierre.
6. Ocean. The waves are constant, it is dangerous for children to swim. I didn’t manage to swim, but I really enjoyed jumping in the waves : )
7. Excursions. We went to Yala and Galle (with Upendra). By the way, the tour operator will offer a free tour in Halle if you take one paid one. A scam of pure water, even the guide confirmed that tourists do not go to the free one, they constantly transfer it, as a result, no one goes anywhere.
8. The overall impression is good, it's even better with a good company : ) But we are unlikely to come again : )
