Hello from Ukraine. "Ceylon" is a country of exotics, women in saris and cows walking right where they want))) We drove, we drove... we drove for a long time, and here we are at the hotel. After a long tiring journey, be prepared for the fact that you will not be settled immediately, a $20 bill can solve the problem. And here we are in a bright and spacious room overlooking the pool and the ocean. Cleaning is on top, everything is very clean and fragrant, in the evening they bring a pill from mosquitoes.
We celebrated the birthday of our son and Heowin at the hotel on October 31st. A deep bow to them for a very beautiful congratulations with sparklers, cakes and music for the whole restaurant, it was unexpected and very pleasant) They took breakfasts and dinners, everything is very tasty, especially pineapples, they never ate such juicy and sweet anywhere) Dinners are always themed, with decoration of the restaurant and dressing up the waiters - I really liked it) The waiters are attentive and helpful, even without a tip)
From the balcony of the room I watched the cleaning of the pool... dear mother !!! , I wish I hadn’t seen it (Dirty, incomprehensible rag smeared dirt on the walls of the pool, and no bleach (((
There were enough sun loungers for everyone, beach towels (old, in my opinion, not even washed) gave out a fight immediately at the sight of vacationers, and tried to open an umbrella)
The hotel area is clean, green, chipmunks, lizards run and....crows croak in flocks on palm trees) (although this is not to the hotel)
The beach is very clean, but just in front of our hotel, a step to the side. . . and a lot of garbage, bottles, papers, rubbish. . . And beggars. . .
The ocean with its huge waves beckons to jump, fool around! ) This is such an extreme! ))) It was raining only in the evening, which also pleased)
The biggest plus of the hotel is the location, on foot a street with many cafes and shops, We had lunch in a cafe on the second floor, we really liked the service and clean everything (which is not unimportant for this country) and fast and fresh seafood (lobster, shrimp , tuna, crab soup) with beer for $ 2 they give nuts, and a huge glass of freshly squeezed pineapple juice also cost $ 2, in short, we paid $ 25-35 for lunch for three of the huge dishes and drinks.
Souvenirs, tea, Aloe gel, coconut oil and sandalwood, various spices (Rum and beer from under the counter) can also be bought nearby. They have a very good medicinal tea (like our Coldrex) natural on "Samahan" sections I recommend it) But remember!! ! you can be deceived at every step at prices! (especially with rum) - They are taken to a specialized liquor store, they speak their language and sell you rum at an inflated price (
It is a pity that we did not see Sigiriya, our guide did not offer us such an excursion for unknown reasons.
We went to Kandy, saw the Temple of the Tooth Relic, and saw tea plantations and were at a tea factory. Tea was bought directly at the factory, a good choice and an informative story about tea. ) Elephant farm and elephant riding, compared to Thailand, it's terrible, elephants tortured in captivity ((( A full day tour, tiring, but very interesting) You can still safely take private walks. We went fishing and the fishermen's pier, where you can see huge catches of sharks and various ocean fish) We went to the turtle farm, also so-so, 1 look and everywhere they ask for a tip)
Still, nothing spoiled our general impressions of the rest and the country! ) This is all a must see! ) Travel, learn and most importantly - more positive! )))
