Все зависит от Вас Everything depends on you

Came back three. I have never written anything on the Internet, but I so want to contribute to the general dialogue about Sri and the hotel that I cannot remain silent. I am an amateur tourist, I have been to many countries, so there is something to compare with. Therefore, if you know the true five hotels, then this is a 4- hotel. Service-only if there is payment (during the stay we changed the towels twice, I did not leave a tip in principle). We just had our own towels. Serious construction work is underway at the hotels right now, jackhammers are rattling, workers are pushing sand carts, etc. Everything is loud and dirty! And none of them cares that a meter from the construction work, people who have paid decent money for staying at the hotel are resting on sunbeds !!!!!! ! Or, for example, at 6.30 in the morning, a lawn mower starts working furiously under the window! Super! Get up guys! It's more convenient for us while the sun is low. I read in a previous review about a clean beach! Once again I was convinced that everything is relative: if the beach where the cows rest, in the truest sense of the word, with the consequences arising from their rest, can be clean. . . The beach is equally accessible to tourists, animals, Sri Lankans, crows and other living creatures. Conclusions on the settlement: ask only for the third floor. Look in advance so that the neighboring rooms are not being renovated, we did. If you don’t have a morning settlement: shove $10 to the manager and in twenty minutes they will visit you, they will even let you choose if you don’t like something. Meals: we recommend taking BB, as the food is quite monotonous. We enjoyed going to local restaurants. The beach is more expensive and much dirtier, but behind the railway in the street, absolutely all the cafes are good. We praise the Sea Pearl (on the second floor), although everywhere is normal. Nice dinner with shrimp, lobster, beer, ice cream for two $40. You can even bargain. Excursions. Everyone in the reviews recommends traveling with the beach guys. Do not know. We traveled with our travel agency: Travel Ekzotik Tur. The prices are the same as the guys on the beach, BUT! Better transport and insurance, and professional guides. We went to Kandy ($79 excursion per person). The tour is nonsense, but it's like a sightseeing tour of Sri. Impression is small, but: tea is of high quality and at the lowest prices only in the store at the tea factory. We are drinking it now! Charm! Buy only Mlesna and don't need any gold or silver! The cheapest in canvas bags and, if you like, with additives. I'm just in the grip of jasmine! Many find fault in the reviews of the products of the garden of spices. Yes, they know how to rub there in every way (you will understand what I mean when you visit). But! I bought an ointment for arthritis - I smear it for the second week, it helps very well. Green oil for headaches Therefore, we still do not regret a trip to Kandy. Just keep in mind that moving around Sri is a separate song. It's very hard and incredibly tiring. We left at 4. We returned at 23. We left the trip itself in two days. Second tour of Sigiriya and Dambulla. No comment. We are smitten with GREAT. But I didn’t want to go anywhere else, primarily because of the roads. Massage and SPA. We had several massages on the beach near Bandula. Does a good job. Spa I terribly did not like-thrown money: dirty, smelly. That is, if you decide to try a massage, then go to the beach. A word of caution: wear a swimsuit that you don't mind throwing away: half a liter of very unpleasant oil will be poured on you. I still wash the towel at home - it still smells! Jewelry. After researching everything in this matter, we ended up ordering two sets from the magnificent grandfather Seneca. Everything that we ordered was wonderfully done in half a day. Grandfather's shop is located in the center of the main street to the hotel. Aqua aerobics. I went regularly at 11 in the morning, beautiful boys spend, very satisfied. Now I continue to go home - I got infected! Don't be lazy! Entertainment. There are practically none. In the evening there is live music in the lobby bar, sometimes something like a show. Flight. Flight is like a flight. Only on the way back, be sure to pack your luggage at the hotel (buy tape and film in the store), because at the airport packing one piece costs $ 8. I tried to write only those tips that I did not find before my trip in other reviews. Read. And now the main thing: CONCLUSIONS. Despite the hotel I didn’t like, the dirt, the low level of service, the terrible transfer, I experienced incredible HAPPINESS on this island, in this hotel, with this service, with terrible transport, etc. Because next to me was my favorite person in the world - My husband, and we are so rarely together. . .
