Good time,
rested with a company, at the hotel from 21-31.01. 2012. Rest is super!
The country is "poor" but nature cannot leave anyone indifferent. Palm trees, greenery, flowers. . . and, of course, the ocean. Its noise fascinates and makes you "feel the rhythm of life".
Great beach, but you need to borrow sunbeds early in the morning (if you want to sunbathe under an umbrella or in the shade of palm trees)
Room - lived in a renovated new building, the rooms are excellent in the "colonial style", spacious, there is a safe (free of charge), a kettle (tea, coffee, sugar). Bed linen and towels will be better "quality" if you leave a tip (you can leave less than 100 rupees = 1 USD....about 50-60 rupees. . and you will have excellent service)
Entertainment - no . . (live music in the evening "to put it mildly, incomprehensible").

But it is possible to use the help of local "beach guides". We used the services of Makesh (he has Tuk-TUK + can organize a minibus for longer and more comfortable trips, although Tuk-tuk is something . . +9.774052984. ) - whales, safari, night disco, all restaurants on the coast, shopping... for little money for a Tuk-tuk, he will make you comfortable moving along the coast (500-10.000 rubles from 5-10 dollars) and lower prices for excursions than hotel guides.
The food is ordinary, almost European + exotic fruits, everything is quite simple and clean (we were afraid and brought 1 kg of medicines per person - and did not use it... )
I recommend changing money upon arrival at the airport - the best rate, and they are reluctant to take dollars (I bought water and didn’t have 50 rupees, I took 2 bottles and gave 1 dollar . . the woman seller has never seen such money)
I recommend buying a local card - convenient for communicating with the guide + calling Tuk-tuk + great price for talking with Ukraine... the price is simply fabulously low (it's not clear why everything is so expensive here? )
Sri Lanka is called Paradise, and we agree that this is a paradise virgin country not spoiled by civilization.
