We rested in Tangerine (one owner and a common area with Royal Palms), and our newlywed friends in Royal Palms went to each other's houses, they used animation more often from Royal Palms, in the hotel lobby every day there is a schedule of games and entertainment for each day, in the morning every day water aerobics, 2 p. yoga per week and, if desired, for an additional fee, individual classes ($ 30) if a group is recruited, divide the amount by the number of people, yoga is worthy, I understand something about this, then: squash, boccia, volleyball, cricket and golf, in the evenings show programs with live music or snakes, national dances, which, if you have not been to Kandy, you can watch at the hotel, sari fashion, you can participate as models with your husband, beautiful photos will remain as a keepsake.
On the territory of Tangerine there is an Ayurvedic SPA center, the cheapest procedure is $ 32 (1.5 hours), this includes a massage (if you wish, a jacuzzi in the center of the reservoir or leave your husband there, and go for a massage yourself) 1 hour (head, neck, whole body with using various oils, if they burn out, they will pick up special oils to save you), then a steam wooden capsule for 15-20 minutes, herbal tea, flower and avocado scrub and herbal bath for 15 minutes) though girls do massage in different ways, I highly recommend NELA. A very good massage when leaving Tangerine in the Garden of Spice, an Ayurveda doctor works there, he also conducts a tour, the surroundings in the hut are so-so, rocking sunbeds, you will have to take a towel with you, but it does very well, the price is $ 13.
You should not be afraid to take excursions on the beach, you should bargain with the guys, there are 2 Russian-speaking guides on the beach: Asanka (great Russian) to the right along the beach and Nuvan Silva (Russian is worse) to the left along the beach, the rest are trying to learn Russian.

There are constantly waves in the ocean - try body surfing, rent a board for 200 rupees per hour, if you make friends with beach fights or go on excursions with them, they will give their boards, show you how to ride, the sensations are a bomb.
The cuisine in Tangerine is simpler, in Palms it’s better, everyone bakes their own bread, buns, cakes, fruits, as I understand it, according to the season, and there are enough of them, mangoes, pineapples, papaya, passion fruit, guava, bananas, earthen apples. I don’t know guys what you eat at home, but in my opinion it’s quite diverse, you shouldn’t expect Thai cuisine there, but European food is very decent.
