A little bit about everything....
Dear tourists who visited this hotel! It hurts my hand to put "likes" on your photos and reviews, everything is very exciting, thank you! I have a lot of questions, because planning a vacation in November with 2 birthdays and 1st wedding anniversary. I must say right away that we are spoiled for the most beautiful reefs and bays of Egypt. Tell me, how are things with the underwater world, diving and snorkeling? Which concept of nutrition is better to choose? Where is the best place to eat? how much is food, beer and rum? Where is the best place to buy them? what excursions and from whom should I take and how much does it cost? I would be grateful for any advice on any topic! Thank you all in advance and have a great holiday!

Those who have been to Egypt for the underwater view were disappointed. And since we weren’t .. we liked snorkeling, we didn’t take diving because there were waves - either a storm, or something like that, and we were told that there was suspended sand. We rode in a boat with a transparent bottom - and we didn’t like it at all, also because they tried to cheat us, and then begged for money. A wonderful excursion to the lagoon, we were in the evening at sunset and it was very beautiful ... In general, there is not much difference with whom to go. The fact that someone left a favorable review in Sri Lanka means nothing at all. Pavel came to Hikkaduwa - he is either from Ukraine, or from Belarus, he more or less understands our mentality, and does not try to add something on top, we did not go with him, but our neighbors were satisfied with everything and they had all sorts of unpleasant moments smaller. In general, they can all offer cheaper prices. In some agencies, prices for us and Europeans are different.
From Sri Lanka to the Maldives around $450 at a travel agency opposite CHAAYA TRANZ. The guys who traveled with us even managed to go to Nuvaro Eliya in the observation car on the train themselves.
I liked moonlight cafe. Approximately for lunch, we paid from $ 5 to $ 35 for one.

You wrote that you are spoiled by the coral reefs of Egypt, I understand you. If it is also a service, then in Sri Lanka it is not so. This is a wild paradise, with the Indian Ocean, and from different parts of the island, it is also different. In the northeast, the Trincomalee area is completely calm, you lie in the water, and around you the fish frolic, but there are few tourists, it can be boring, but deserted beautiful beaches. In the west, there are waves and storms, there are a lot of tourists in hotels, it’s fun in the hotel, there are small towns nearby where you can just go to see life. Excursions are definitely better to take or immediately tour + excursions, and upon arrival go to the sights, and then relax on the ocean. Or the hotel guide. Why? They will convey all the information to your ears, answer all your questions, it’s not the same with the locals, because they speak Russian poorly, and history must be taught. Let's say you come to Sigiriya or Kandy, these are very beautiful places with history, and the guide will tell you, come here, see this, but what is it? To drive so many kilometers along the roads of Sri Lanka, to fly by plane, not to get information, this is not right. Once again, the underwater world in Sri Lanka is scarce, for 5-6 years there was a terrible tsunami and the reefs are just being restored. I was also 2 times in Egypt and have never seen a more beautiful underwater world,

Sri Lanka has some kind of magnetism. In Sri Lanka it was the same 2 times and it pulls again. To love the country, you need to see it. Read the reviews, make a plan for what you want to see. plantations), and then 7 days of the ocean. In Khikaduwa, we swam in the open ocean with 3 huge turtles, and fed them, in our hotel in the Kosgoda area, in the evening, turtles sailed to the beach to lay their eggs and we watched a free attraction. Excuse me, where else is there such a thing? Just write your program correctly. You are tired of liking, and I write and write, so I want more people to see this country!

We were in Citrus a year ago, took breakfast-dinner meals, and concluded that this is the most convenient option, since at 19-00 it is already dark there and life gradually stops, and walking in search of a suitable cafe at this time is not very convenient . While in Citrus for dinner, an abundance of goodies, seafood and all sorts of things. The only thing is that alcohol is not cheap. There was always a bottle of wine on the table, you could try it for 2000 rupees (about 160 UAH). We bought rum in the store opposite, in my opinion, for 750 rupees, in general, the prices for alcohol there are stable, the same in all stores. We organized excursions ourselves, perhaps in this way we didn’t learn all the details of the country’s history, but on the other hand, we fully felt the charms of the life of the local population, traveled by public transport, drank mango and pineapple fresh juices with our money at 4 UAH per 0.5 liter Galle, rode elephants in Pinavella, found a nice hotel in Kandy near the Temple of the Tooth Relic, got there to a colorful festival. Indeed, the charms of this island must be known by traveling to its different corners, and the ocean is one of the complementary attractions.. We miss Sri Lanka very much. Have a nice trip!
