The hotel is well maintained, tidy and clean. The room is large, spacious, with wooden furniture and floors, comfortable and functional: a lot of various lockers, shelves. All rooms overlooking the hotel, pool, ocean. On the balcony there are wooden chairs and a table. Room service 2 times a day. Of the shortcomings, in our room on the first floor there was a smell of dampness. The staff is friendly, attentive, unobtrusive, speaks English. The animators held sports events during the day, for 10-15 minutes they went around all the vacationers, invited, reminded what and where would take place.
The ocean is warm, there were constant waves, if you don’t swim deep, then they are controlled, the entrance is gentle (long shallow). The hotel has a large clean pool.
80% of vacationers are Russian-speaking.

At the hotel, we only paid for breakfast, went several times for dinner (themed: Asian, Italian, Sri Lankan cuisine, etc. ). Lots of choices and there's always something to pick up. From the second day we dined in a private restaurant "The Delicacy" (after the railway crossing, after 10m on the right). Good quality products, beautifully served, wooden furniture, cloth tablecloth, changing for each new visitor, menu in English and Russian. This is a family business and they try very hard and work hard. The owner of Chandima (you can just Dima) is very pleasant, decent, sociable, educated, attentive, responsive. He speaks good English, Russian. He told us a lot of interesting things on various topics: about the country, life, people, himself and his family, customs, religion, politics, etc. He can organize excursions (a map of Sri Lanka with sights is painted on the wall in the restaurant). Tries to fulfill any desire.
