Good afternoon!
The three of us rested in this hotel from 07/23/2013 to 07/31/2013. The room was booked a double sea view (triple with ocean views, at least that's how our travel agent reassured us. Upon arrival at this hotel, we were checked in for three hours ten times, our names were asked again, when the time came to check in, we were surprised by the picture in the room, that in the room there is only a double bed and that's it. The third bed was delivered to us within half an hour. It turns out that they don't have triple rooms in nature.
The weather during the holiday was amazing - sun, sea, palm trees, beach. On the day of arrival and two more days, the weather was spoiled by a brief rain, but in general everything is ok. Even when it is cloudy and the sky is cloudy, the body is sunbathing - always smear with cream.

From the tour operator Join up, we were provided with a guide Roman in Sri Lanka, whom we saw only on the day of arrival. On this day, Roma sold us a one-day excursion to Kandy for 45 dollars. Do not be fooled, this is a complete scam, not only is 45 dollars. this is not the final amount, and even does not correspond to the excursion program. They took us to their point-shops, from which we receive a kickback for each purchased unit of goods.
Now let's talk about the good. The hotel is on a solid 3, the breakfasts at the hotel are monotonous, but everything is fresh, you can eat. In the evenings they organized entertainment programs - fire shows, discos. Very good guys animators in the hotel who did water aerobics, and with whom it was just nice to talk. The staff is responsive.
On the beach we met a local resident (beach boy) Kumar. We collaborated with him for the whole holiday. We went on an excursion to the Safari River - super, for fruit, to a store of precious and semi-precious stones, gave us coconuts to drink, taught us to bargain with the locals, never lied, punctual and kind.
Have a good rest everyone.
