The hotel is located right on the ocean - this is a huge plus, all rooms have ocean views.
Also, from the advantages of the hotel, one can note a variety of dinners (for 2 weeks of rest, the theme of dinner has never been repeated) is, everything is always fresh and tasty, there are spicy dishes, but they lie separately. Before that, they were in Turkey in 4+ and fed worse there.
Took breakfast and dinner, quite enough. We dined in neighboring cafes (I really liked the Fishman cafe, to the right of the hotel (200 rupees round trip by tuk tuk, waiting for you to eat), ordered ready-made shrimp and lobsters from Taru, fruit.

Of the minuses of the hotel - a little shabby showers and rooms, but these are all trifles compared to the rest. The hotel (like most in Sri Lanka) is more suitable for a relaxing holiday, from the animation there is aqua aerobics (in the neighboring Long Beach hotel, every day), discos once a week, and one fire show was on our vacation. Despite this, we did not get bored, in the evening you can go to the beach, watch the huge turtles that crawl out of the ocean, catch crabs, which are a lot on the beach. Local beach-boys arranged parties for us, sang national songs and played drums, treated us with coconuts. We fell in love with Sri Lanka at first sight, and fell in love more and more every day: 1) the ocean with turquoise water, cool waves, warm water temperature at any time of the day or night, 2) the local population is very nice and good-natured, 3) - pristine nature and sights of this wonderful island. We went on excursions to Gala, Kandy, Yala National Park, Whales in Mirisa, when there were big waves, we went to the lagoon in Unawatuna. All this was ordered from beach-boys, their prices are cheaper than the guide, and the filling too. Also, for any of our whims, just when we had to go shopping, to the lagoon, they organized a taxi for us in the form of a tuk-tuk, at a price lower than those of those tuktukers who were on duty under the walls of the hotel. They also ordered ready-made shrimp, lobsters, rum and beer from them, which is also not very expensive, and most importantly delicious. We used the services of beach-boys - Taru, Mak, Surezh, Lali, Saman. These are five friends, one of them is always on duty on the beach under the fungus, which is near rooms 516-520)) and offers his services. Use the services of these guys, you can trust them 100%, just contact them for advice. They will diversify your holiday. Anyone who needs a contact with Taru - write, I will definitely answer.
