I will not write what has already been written. I was there, and I will say that everything that is written in other comments is true, I confirm it.
--- Separately, I want to say about nutrition. Lunch and dinner at the hotel by Sri Lankan standards is very expensive. We took only breakfast at the hotel, and had lunch and dinner in restaurants nearby - there are a lot of them. For example, food in a hotel is 3 times higher than in a cafe, although it is also designed for tourists. I want to tell you about a restaurant that we just fell in love with, and without which our vacation would not have been so pleasant. It is located about 200 meters from the hotel, on the ocean, if you go towards Colombo - in the opposite direction to Galle. You can get both from the street and along the beach - 2 entrances. The restaurant replaced both hotel food and an Internet club, we found friends there, an incredibly beautiful view of the ocean, incredibly delicious dishes, comfort, peace, romance. . .
Pros: Cleanliness. Everything is very fresh - they cook it from day to day, with visitors - you can watch, look into the kitchen (I brought fish and crabs caught on the local river, asked them to cook the catch, agreed without any problems, and then they also called me to the kitchen so that I he lowered the crabs into the water and took a couple of pictures for himself). The range of the menu - the menu includes not only local cuisine, but also European breakfasts and lunches, pasta, burgers, chicken, soups, fresh juices, beer, milkshakes. Prices - grilled tiger prawns with a mountain of vegetables and fried potatoes (specifically fried potatoes, not deep-fried fries) + salad + sauce = 1100 rupees = 8.5 US dollars (for example, in the Refresh restaurant nearby, this is about the dish cost me more than 3000 rupees). An incredible amount (spectrum, in the sense) of seasonings, herbs and sauces is used, the food is NOT VERY SPICY - the host-chef treats foreigners adequately and with understanding - you can specify the spice of food yourself, or the waiter will ask again. The Tigri team speaks very good English. There is a menu in Russian - without errors, clearly and legibly. You can come with your food (vegetables, fruits, fish, shellfish bought at the market) and ask to cook (we charged 1.500 rupees = $ 11.6 for cooking 5 large crabs and a huge bowl of fish. The owner arranges tours around the region. Very open and hospitable people, free WiFi, great music.
