The good news: check-in was fast. We arrived at 8:30. We agreed to change the breakfast on the day of departure to the day of arrival. While we were having breakfast, the room was prepared for us. They lived in a two-story building. The room is clean, cleaned every day. The room has tea, coffee, kettle, wooden furniture. The hotel area is neat and pretty. Chipmunks and a fat lizard are running around. There are few sun beds, but they were always free. So there were no problems. True, we lay there only at lunchtime, and the rest of the time we hung out in the lagoon (it takes 5 minutes to go to it) and went to watch the fish (about 10 minutes). Do not be lazy - go it's worth it, but it's better not on a day off. On weekends, local people arrange boat trips there and it becomes somewhat dangerous. You will be delighted with the fish. They are blue, yellow, striped, polka dots. The spectacle is awesome. The food is good not only in the restaurant, but also in cafes nearby. On the full moon you can not drink alcohol and even beer, but we were offered to serve it as tea. So everything is resolved. In the hotel restaurant tea and coffee in the morning and in the evening for free. In general, for such a number of stars, the hotel is very good. . On the bad: bed linen and towels. They don't stand up to scrutiny. They are washed but dirty. Plumbing works, but old, ugly bath. Internet is free only at the reception, but this is not a big problem with cheap mobile communications in the country. We used Dialogue. If you are interested in a few tips: money can be changed in the city at a rate even higher than at the airport. Do not take excursions for a large number of people - this is a nightmare because you have to wait for someone all the time, starting with not waking up on time and ending with shopping in stores instead of seeing more. If you speak English, go yourself to the Temple of the Sleeping Buddha in Kelaniya (10 km from Colombo) by train to Colombo 1 hour 50 minutes 160 rupees per person (rate 1 USD 130-128 rupees), and there we took a tuk-tuk for 1500 rupees near the train station. The temple is VERY beautiful. Near the same station, we visited the market, where we bought BOPF tea at 1300 rupees per kg. just look at the bags with the inscription, so as not to be bred. For all the time we came across only one dishonorable tuk-tist. After agreeing on one figure, he extorted more, brought in expensive fruits. It was unpleasant, but in general the impression of the rest did not spoil. I'm ready to go there again. Wish to tour operators - resolve the issue with the delivery of tourists to hotels, so that the path is 130 km. did not turn into a 4-hour trip. This is all due to the delivery of tourists to hotels. You can also break up the groups - to Bendotta and beyond. Don't let 2* hotels scare you if you came not to bask in bed, but to watch the country and bask in the warm ocean. Enjoy your stay at Lanka Super Coral Hotel.
