Хороший отель за свои деньги Good hotel for your money

My wife and I stayed at this hotel at the end of December. We came to Sri Lanka for the first time, we went primarily to the ocean and see nature, so we chose a budget hotel. After reading the reviews on "vacation. com" we were very worried about the presence of insects (the wife is very afraid of them) - we didn’t observe any at all, only ants appeared if the leftover food was not removed in time. In general, the hotel is very decent and clean for a 3 *. Upon arrival (arrived at 11:30), we were immediately settled in a room on the third floor overlooking the ocean - the view is simply breathtaking, you see palm trees and the endless blue of the ocean. The room is spacious and clean, white linens and towels, huge bed, air conditioning, safe, satellite TV, mini-bar - for 3 * very much. Meals were taken only breakfast - did not regret it even once. The breakfasts are quite normal, they don’t shine with variety, but you can eat tasty and satisfying. For lunch, they ate fruit bought at the market in Bentotta. We had dinner once in a nearby cafe on the coast, it turned out to be very expensive and not very tasty (they took grilled shrimp - a serving of 12 pieces with rice and fries cost 2500 rupees). After that, on the advice of vacationers, we went by tuk-tuk with Pito (a very good tuk-tuk driver who lives next to the hotel (immediately on the right side when leaving the hotel on the road), the state number of his tuk-tuk is 2037 - I highly recommend him to everyone, he doesn’t carry expensive and will tell and tell everything) in Bentotta they bought seafood and cooked it for us there, and in the evening Pito brought us hot with cold beer directly to the hotel. For the amount that you buy in a cafe for one serving, it turned out that two people just overeat. In general, I liked everything, the hotel is good (small and cozy), the ocean is simply mesmerizing, the sun shines 12 hours a day, what else is needed for a wonderful holiday. So do not believe the bad reviews about this hotel, most likely they were written by people who are used to relaxing in 5 * -4 * - they are not here. The only negative we noticed is that there are a very small number of sunbeds on the beach - there are not enough for everyone, we had to get up early to take seats.
