Хороший отель, отзывчивый персонал, нет магазинов поблизости Good hotel, helpful staff, no shops nearby

I was on tour with my wife before the New Year. I really liked the hotel. Although it is 4 *, but the experience for all 5. The rooms are excellent. Cleaned up every day. Change towels, make beds, bring bottled water.
There is a swimming pool, but in a nearby hotel. Before it is somewhere a kilometer, they carry it for free on a tuktuk.
Unfortunately there are no shops or restaurants nearby. To visit them you need to go to the city by tuktuk (about 10 km) - locals charge 700-1000 rupees ($ 6-8) for this. If you order a tuktuk from the reception, it will cost 50 rupees per kilometer.
To buy inexpensive souvenirs or tea, it is better to go to the supermarket, and in several. Usually tuktuk drivers have a percentage, so they drive to rather expensive shops.
Local fishermen go to the beach - they offer excursions at rather inflated prices, so it's better to travel around the country with a tour operator.

Went for an Ayurvedic full body massage. 1 hour costs 1500 rupees ($ 12) - I liked it very much.
From excursions we go to Kandy. Interesting, albeit boring. (Almost a day on the road). The cost is $65 per person. (Tea factory, elephant nursery, tea plantations, royal botanical garden, Buddha's Tooth temple, spice garden).
It is better not to buy Ayurvedic preparations in tourist places - very expensive (5-10 times more expensive). It is much cheaper to buy in the city in pharmacies or small shops.
