наш отпуск на Шри-Ланке our holiday in sri lanka

Hello. Knowing how hard it is to choose a good resort and hotel for recreation, I want to write a couple of lines to help you make your choice. Let's start in order. The flight is quite long, they flew from Kharkov, with a change in Sharjah. It should be borne in mind that lunch is not included in the ticket price and, if you are hungry, you can have lunch on the plane for an additional fee. fee. You can take food with you if you wish. Upon arrival in Colombo, there were no problems with obtaining visas (visas were issued and paid in advance via the Internet), they just filled out a migration card and left. Who wants to call home, it is better to buy a SIM card right at the airport. We flew with the Join Up company, I don’t know how other tour operators organize it, but our company simply doesn’t have it. We sat on the bus at the airport for two and a half hours, waiting for the arrival of another plane. to. they wanted to fill the bus to the eyeballs. Don't let the streets of Colombo and the four-hour drive scare you, the ocean will fix everything. If possible, try to get you settled in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd building, there are rooms with a more recent renovation. We got rooms in the 4th building and, although the view from the window is amazing, the rooms leave much to be desired (where the air conditioner does not work, where the lever on the toilet bowl does not flush, we barely asked for ONE refrigerator for three rooms, of course, Wi-Fi in the room is also not takes) Maybe, if it weren’t for a good company and trips on excursions, there would be more complaints, but after a week, all the shortcomings were already forgotten, and only the best and unforgettable impressions remained. A few more words about excursions. We took a two-day tour of Kandy-Sigiriya from the guide Irina, it cost 120 dollars per person. and this is at a discount, BUT WE STILL HAD TO PAY FOR ALL ENTRANCE TICKETS, so 240 for two turned into all 500, who traveled with beachboys or tukers, the amount is several times and many times less and this is already with all the tickets, but since this was the first excursion and also for two days, we were probably afraid. So for comparison, in the Yala Ira reserve, she offered us a discounted excursion for 90 dollars. per person, and we agreed with a tuker for 55 dollars. The guides do not offer a whale watching tour at all and talk about it without any initiative, just because they do not have their own percentage from it, the ticket for the boat is fixed at 50 dollars. plus access to the port. We were delighted, it's worth seeing. And so let's sum it up. The hotel is not very bad for a triple, the kitchen is quite decent, the staff is quite friendly, except that the restaurant is a bit sleepy. Yes, in general, very, very good.
