The hotel is very old - the furniture is shabby and "tired" of eternal dampness, there is air conditioning, the water in the shower is hot only during daylight hours, the tanks on the roof are heated by the sun. Soapy-rylnye also take with you: nothing is provided, be sure to have rubber slippers for taking a shower - unless, of course, you want to bring a fungus as a gift : )) BE SURE TO TAKE SUN AND ANTI-SUN CREAMS.
Cleaning is regular, but you need to give a tip so that it is of high quality.
At the hotel, immediately at the reception, you sign a certain document stating that the hotel is not responsible for the safety of property, so get ready for the need to "carry everything with you" - there is no safe in the room, and the door lock is one name. BUT THERE IS A MINI-REFRIGERATOR6 IF YOU PURCHASE FRUITS - THERE IS A WHERE TO STORE THEM. Water is provided two bottles a day. Breakfast is poor, and if you are not a fan of curry, you will have to limit yourself to toast with cheese and salad, or scrambled eggs, you also need to wait for fruits: they are not cut into a whole bunch, like in all-inclusive hotels.

and were very pleased! Cheaper than the tour operator 2 times and better quality, he also bought seafood and beer, local rum: he brings all this to order directly to the hotel (there are almost no liquor stores in Lanka: they are scattered randomly and look like a shop behind bars, are absolutely inconspicuous, and in the vicinity of the hotel there are none at all, so Patum (having a local) was very helpful in this regard. By the way, compared to other beach-boys, he complains very advantageously: there is no excessive obtrusiveness, adequate proposals for organizing leisure, even helped to find a local doctor (there was such a need) You can contact Patum in advance and discuss everything. I liked the excursions to Sigiriya and Kandy: 2 days, through the elephant orphanage, spice garden, tea plantations, in Kandy - all significant temples, excellent accommodation on a mountain overlooking Kandy, a visit to the botanical garden, it was all organized in an air-conditioned minibus, entrance fees included, overnight and breakfast with dinner, $ 160 per nose, we went with another pair of everything, re I recommend! By the way, take medicines such as a first aid kit or those that you take regularly, be sure to take them with you - even if they don’t come in handy!

The turtle farm near the hotel is one name, not worth a visit, turtles can be seen for free. because just on the beaches near the hotel turtles lay their eggs - they can be observed quite often, but from 2-3 nights.
We went to Mirissa and the Buddhist underground temple - on a tuk-tuk also with Patum, on the way we visited a snake farm, rice fields, rubber fields, a fort in Mataretam - a museum, very informative, a temple on an island, well, we just drove around the area at the local mode of transport - all this cost $ 60 for two, a full day excursion.
Patum took us to Galle and to the bazaar for free, because we ordered excursions, food, etc. from him - he offers it to everyone, it’s very convenient.
We went on an excursion-walk to the lake: 3000 rupees for two, we went to the island of spices, the island of the Buddha temple, the island of birds - the guy spoke very interestingly and informatively, though in English, I also liked the island of spices: the cinnamon guru-old man was very authentic! at the end of the trip we even stopped for a fish pedicure, 300 rupees extra, but I liked it: the fish are quite large, 8-12 centimeters each!
More about the beach: there are no sunbeds and umbrellas on it, the hotel ones are further inland, they cannot be moved, that is, you will have to sunbathe on a towel if you want to lie down near the water, although the idea is not very good because of the different heights of the waves - you risk getting wet from time to time : ))
By the way, if you have a flight in the evening, and the hotel needs to be vacated on the last day at 10-12, as in this hotel itself, I recommend that you immediately negotiate a late check-out for an additional fee, otherwise you risk sitting on suitcases for half a day before a long flight!
In Mirissa, take a trip to see the migration of whales - of course, for those who are not seasick, and who are not afraid to go far out to sea on local water devices, the price varies from $ 35 to $ 150 per person, so everyone decides for himself. There are no supermarkets or shops near the hotel: it takes 40 minutes to walk to the nearest one or they ask for 200 rupees by tuk-tuk. behind the water is a dubious pleasure to ride! In the store they took only water, cola, tea for gifts and locally produced toothpaste, it costs 70 rupees, I don’t remember the name now, but it is in any mini-shop - I advise you, pepper paste is interesting to try!
I can’t tell you about cigarettes - they brought them with them.
The hotel has a swimming pool, but in the presence of the ocean it somehow didn’t feel like chlorinated water, although there was a contingent that hung out between two points: the pool bar and the pool itself, but that’s who cares : ))
So for such tourism - as we did, the hotel is suitable, although I will make a separate remark about the host: Joint up is not at all impressive with its service, this is our host, if you are traveling from it, then get ready for the fact that you need to study all the details yourself, help, even informative, is zero from them. The hotel staff is bad, but speaks English, not very quick, like everyone else in Asia : ))
If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer!
