Excellent hotel. Although they write 4 stars, all 5 boldly. Transfer from the airport without problems, but a long ride, but I wonder who is the first time. Check-in is fast, upon arrival a cold towel, juice. Fruit in the room on the day of arrival. Coffee and tea replenished every day. Cleaning ok. Territory is awesome. Beach in the lagoon, for those who are not satisfied with the waves. The main thing is not to be weird and not to swim far. For those who are interested in waves, turn right when you go to the beach and go 300-500 meters behind the Citrus Hotel and there 2-4 km. excellent, wide beach with waves, we reached some small port, and then by tuk-tuk back to the hotel. Turtles come every day. Great beach option for kids. The food is excellent. We took breakfast. We went to eat nearby in the RE FRESH restaurant. The menu is in Russian, delicious, a large selection, the price depends on your choice. But we are getting bigger every day. Appetite broke out and it is difficult to resist different seafood. Tours are best taken from locals, cheaper. Definitely a trip to the lagoon, super. At the tea factory, at the mine of precious stones, do not buy anything, the prices are not childish. Example: factory tea 50g. costs 600 rupees, in the supermarket of Hikkaduwa 100g. 230 rupees. We tried it at home and there is no difference in taste. Likewise with stones. They took earrings with blue topaz in a shop in Hikkaduwa, 2 times cheaper than in a shop at the mine. Kandy is interesting to visit. Everything is just fine, we were very satisfied with the choice of the hotel. During our stay at the hotel, local 2 weddings were celebrated, it is interesting to see. Evening karaoke. You leave the hotel on the street and immediately a bunch of shops, massage parlors, restaurants, exchangers, everything is at hand. I recommend this hotel. Yes, the rooms are damp. We opened the balcony and it helped. Or with incl. Conder, but then it's cool, although you can set it to a normal temperature. Be sure to bargain. Everything in a nutshell. Excellent rest.
