A very green and beautiful hotel, in a secluded place, was in mid-December 2010, there are few vacationers, the hotel is 40% loaded, the breakfast buffet is a little simpler than in Turkey, but you definitely won’t go hungry, but the dinners are great! They have a chef from the Hilton and when a few people cook dinner from the chef - this is not a buffet, but it’s a sin to make a buffet with such a chef (we had 2 Swedish meals - on the weekends when the locals came - it’s also very tasty, but the design and the sophistication of dishes at the buffet is not possible) he has a work of art if not dinner : )) for dinner, the standard menu (dinner from the chef) included salad, soup, main course with a choice of meat or fish and dessert. if dinner is not included in the tour, then you can buy it at the hotel - the price is 15-18 dollars (I won’t say for sure, but no more, it was included with us). Opposite the hotel there are stones on the beach, but literally 50m walk begins a gorgeous beach!!! ! This coast is one of the best1 Turtles crawl out at night!!! ! There is no entertainment at the hotel, since the hotel positions itself as relaxation, but you can entertain yourself - at least fool around in the pool all night : ))))) sometimes locals arrange a party on the beach near the hotel. The rooms are large, the room is a separate bungalow! There are 2 floors where on the 1st floor there is a living room and a bathroom, and on the second floor there is a bedroom, every day they clean and change towels, and every evening they decorate the bed with flowers and bring a plate for the fumigator, the water in the room was updated every day for free. There are a lot of living creatures on the territory of the hotel - monitor lizards, iguanas, chipmunks and a lot of birds roam : ))) There is a souvenir shop near the hotel, there is also a good restaurant with national cuisine, prices are not higher than in the hotel. Even if you walk along the coast to the right, there is also a hotel that is under construction, but there is also a restaurant, and they buy fish and seafood for you from fishermen right on the beach and you can choose for yourself... We went with locals to restaurants in the city, then the level of our eateries turned out to be, but the prices are different from cheap to expensive - so it doesn’t really make sense. Ride along the hotel river in the evening - a local rides on a national boat - you will see a lot of interesting things! and cheap $15 per boat! The hotel has Russian-speaking representatives of the company Sem and Dana - great guys!
So, to say that these are exactly the shortcomings is difficult - in some rooms there is a slight smell of dampness, but the room can be changed at no extra charge, friends had a little rust on the toilet when they moved in and they demanded to wash it - so they put a new toilet for them : ))))) lazy staff - sometimes it was necessary to repeat the request several times, but friendly - they honestly admit that they forgot : )))) By the way, there are more staff than vacationers. The pool is really big, but the floor of the pool is shallow. Even in the hotel there are high prices for alcohol (although you can buy it in a store nearby without tension), beer in the store costs 160 rupees, in the hotel 425 rupees!
What you need to take is swimming trunks, sunblock min 50 (I burned out from 35), panthenol, a cap, flip flops and a camera, on the excursion you need pants and socks that you don’t mind throwing away, since you need to enter the temple without shoes. And take a flashlight in order to go at night to look at the turtles that climb ashore to lay their eggs)

We swam in the ocean all the time 3-4 times a day but at least for an hour, it’s not possible to swim, although the ocean is considered calm in December-January, but the waves are 2 meters long, we mostly jumped on the waves or dived under them.
The hotel has a gym, tennis court, volleyball net and billiards in the bar on the 2nd floor above the restaurant.
