Прекрасный отдых Lovely vacation

The most important thing, perhaps, is to be clearly aware from the outset that Sri Lanka is not Egypt and Turkey with AI. If you are used to such a rest - go there and don't even think about going to Sri. It's very frank.
All the reviews you have read before are 100% true.
All photos are true.
The hotel is located right on the coastline. We lived on the 3rd floor, the windows overlook the ocean. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves is the best. what you could imagine.
The hotel has a swimming pool. I saw it but didn't swim. Looks pretty decent.
BEACH municipal. This means that the sunbed cannot be pulled out on it. Towel - please. The locals on the beach do not swim or sunbathe. Walking beach fights and all. We left things on the beach several times - no one stole anything. But still, the hotel on the lounger is safer.
Sunbeds, by the way, are very quickly stretched by those who live on the 1st floor. So be careful : )

Didn't find a sunbed - tell someone from the hotel staff. They will find everything they need. One hinted to us that for a modest fee he would put up a sunbed, a mattress and an umbrella every day. We refused. For 2 weeks without a sunbed never left. Draw your own conclusions.
ROOM
Very spacious. Bed, bedside table, wardrobe, TV, free safe, small electric kettle. There is a balcony and a clothes dryer. On the balcony there is a table and two chairs.
The room is cleaned daily and towels are changed. They bring some shampoo and soap. It's better to take everything.
Also daily - 0.5 l of water per person + tea, coffee, sugar.
NUTRITION
We took breakfast + dinner. Dinner is completely out of the question.
Lots of fruits and sweets. The food is mostly spicy, but you can always find something to your liking. The choice of dishes is quite monotonous, but for 2 weeks I was not particularly tired.
We always ate fruit. To beat back the exclamations of skeptics - I went with a man with a good appetite. We ate bananas and pineapples so much that we didn’t want anything else : ) If you wish, you can always go to the nearest cafe and eat. Dishes in all restaurants are very large. Portions of rice with shrimp were enough for two of us. On average, for a dinner for two, spend no more than 100 UAH.
The most expensive dinner cost $50. - 2 lobsters, shrimp, beer, coffee, fresh juices.
A CAFE
There are several nearby. To the right of the hotel - a small eatery "Sea food", I personally did not really like it.
To the left of the hotel near the plane - a good place. If I'm not mistaken, Catalina. Rice for two is just about this place.
If you go even further, behind the playground there will be another pleasant place. I don't remember the names. Very kind owner, delicious food. A table can be taken straight to the edge of the ocean. Very romantic : )
The difference in price in all places is insignificant.
THE SHOPS
Exit the hotel and turn left. Walk about 15 minutes. There are small shops and a market. The market is open on certain days. Didn't get the logic. But I recommend going to Galle for fruit - and look at the Fort and buy cheaper.

It is better to leave the cab at the fort and take a walk on your own. Do not be fooled by any persuasion - when you see a driver or a boc-boy with you, not a single seller will give way in price. Always bargain!
EXCURSIONS
Excursions were taken from representatives of "Join Up". We went on a safari to the Yala National Park and took a one-day trip to Kandy.
Near the hotel: Koggala lake and spice garden. We agreed with the locals and fished on a boat on the lake.
Also within walking distance of the Turtle Farm.
You definitely won't be bored!
And finally, Sri_Lanka is an amazing country! This is an incredible riot of colors and sounds that falls upon you as soon as you leave the airport. We were in a state of euphoria all 12 days! And we plan to repeat our trip!
Hope. your holiday will be pleasant : )
