I've been wanting to write a review for a long time, but there was no time, and here, choosing a hotel in Greece, I decided to write about Sri Lanka ...People who have not yet dared and doubted - go, do not regret any hotel, it doesn't matter, it matters Lanka herself! ! ! ! ! We flew on a very hot tour, for only $ 650 for 9 nights from Donetsk (taking into account the fact that we live in Vinnytsia). Gathered in an hour! : ) With a transfer via Kyiv! We risked not having time to get on the plane ...but it's worth it! The hotel, or rather the rooms, of course, are not the best (to put it mildly), gloomy, uncomfortable, with a terrible shower, but sitting in a room there is just a crime! )) The ocean just impresses with its power! There are constant storms near this hotel, you can't swim, but we jumped and fooled around on the waves. That's how you jump into the oncoming wave, and it carries you so far to the shore! Sea of fun! ))) More precisely the ocean!
))) However, several times we were threatened with a finger rescuers - go further than the waist in the water - pull! Two women drowned from a nearby hotel during our stay - ignored warnings! The beach near the hotel is huge, with clean sand, framed by palm trees. But we were on our beach, we walked there in the evenings - looking for turtles))), and so - 500 rupees for two (about 5 dollars) was a trip back and forth to one of the lagoons - Una Vatunu or Jungle Beach. We liked the second one better, it was better, Una Vatun also had waves, although it was already possible to swim. They bring you, you take (for free !!! ) a deck chair with an umbrella and go crazy.
There in the cafe, which owns the sunbeds, you order a sumptuous lunch of seafood for a penny))) (and you bring a choice of semi-live fish and you choose which one to cook for you) We tried barracuda, lobsters, huge shrimp and I do not remember some more local delicacies - I don't remember the names ...
Yes, on this occasion - all inclusive in this hotel is superfluous! And at breakfasts with dinners + 2kg (((By the way, while you're resting, the scourge of the battle that brought you nearby is in the shade and patiently waiting until you're ready to go to the hotel! Not only that, can fulfill any whim - like that rush for a beer) or coconut) And will bring them to you for a price lower than you buy yourself (tourists strive to strip more, and he is local. ) We first wondered - how so, and then realized - everything is logical, we have them tours we take it, they reflect it all, and small services - feeding tourists.
Excursions are an order of magnitude cheaper than tour operators, although they have their "buts". For us, a 2-day tour of Kandy cost $ 130. , the tour operator - 190 dollars ...
our guide, the wonderful guy Max, was terribly offended when he heard that we took a ticket to the scourge of battle (by the way, his name is Jamini - I promised to write about him : )) and threatened that she would be inferior and not like that! falsehood! BUT! Jamini decided to save on entrance tickets to the elephant nursery! Require that you be taken there before you go! And then we only saw elephants, which were driven from one part of the nursery to another across the road! (((I was extremely annoyed, but no one supported my outrage and had to do without the sight of elephants at the watering hole! And yet, on the way back do not buy anything in the garden of spices! Three times more expensive than necessary! And in general - divorce is all good) there is no, fraud is continuous!
Well, if you really want, you can buy coconut oil, but in the spice garden, located on the lake near the hotel - much cheaper (there is generally worth a catamaran ride, lizards and black monkeys). Very cool still arrange a scourge of barbecue fights on the beach with fire, shrimp, fish and rum! and with songs on local drums ...however, their songs are sad, we selected the drums and said "you deceived me" - a concert in general, sang Ukrainian folk songs to the accompaniment of Sri Lankan drums! ))) Well, about the hotel, who is interested, and then I was fascinated by the memories ...Village flows smoothly into the Beach, the restaurants can eat two - our restaurant (Village) with a beautiful terrace overlooking the ocean, where we had breakfast , but we had dinner at the whip - there the kitchen is better and more diverse. Yes, I was just impressed by the presence of real fresh fruit from ...
oh, well, I don't remember these exotic fruits, guavas, or anything, instead of yuppie! although, then it turned out that they are slightly diluted with water (this is after a test of real fresh fruit) Food - is spicy, but is normal, not hungry! : ) Avoid dishes with the inscription "curry" : ) In general - go! You will not regret it! The hotel is very budget! But for those who have special claims to comfort - will not work! And Sri Lanka will suit everyone! ! ! ! ! Yes, it's very wet there! I was not bothered, although I was scared - the climate is harsh ...And do not be afraid to go out of season (May-August - not considered the season), almost no tropical rain, and if there is - then short-term ...sunbathe better under the clouds, I fell asleep for half an hour on a deck chair, as if the clouds were ...I wake up in the sun - in the evening - a la cancer! ((Protective creams - a must!! ! Even under the clouds! )
