Ayubovan! (May your Sinhalese years be long! )
It was difficult to rate the hotel, because. To say that I liked it is to say nothing. For the atmosphere, friendly staff, he is a solid ten. For minor domestic troubles (the discerning tourist has nothing to do there), provided that you pay close attention to them - about six.
I will not deal with the description of hotel life, it was all very aptly done by the users of the resource even before I posted this review. There is truth in all the negative and positive reviews.
In the hotel, basic English is very desirable, because. units have a vocabulary in Russian (Ukrainian), which fits into a couple of dozen words.
The beach is exactly wild, long, deserted and not equipped (I see this as a huge plus for myself, because wandering past the sun loungers is also a pleasure for everyone, I'm not a fan). The ocean is a sight. If you are not too lazy to walk - there are small rocks to the right - the photos will come out just "gloss"!

I will stop at places that are mandatory for viewing (or visiting).
Tourist truth in the description of the hotel writes that there is a turtle farm nearby, but in fact there are two of them. One to the right along the beach, the other to the left. Both in one and in the other way is approximately the same. A charge of positive emotions from communication with tartles is provided : )
Also in the evenings you can watch big turtles right on the huge beach adjacent to the hotel.
Beechboys do not need to be afraid. The receiving party can scare them (in our case, Exotic), and, probably, there were cases of their fears confirming it. You yourself heard firsthand how cunning intermediaries sent a couple of "ours" on a trip around the island, not even giving the tuker money for gasoline, not to mention money for tickets to enter the attractions. But in our case, everything is fine. Positive and sociable lads, a lot of intangible gesheft got from communicating with them. With Aruna they moved on his tuk within a radius of 20 km. from the hotel, with Nandong - hung out on the beach, he gave us body surfboards and made sure that we did not go to the bottom in a small storm. Until now, SMS-simsya, PREVED each other a helmet. With beachboys, be sure to go on a "boat trip" along the Madu Ganga River - watch the jungle, mangroves and a bunch of everything else (a must with a visit to the temple on the island - Kothduwa (Kothduwa Temple)).
It is worth taking a tuk to the town of Alyutgama (right behind Bentota). On a tuk, although it is more expensive than on a bus, you will still have to walk away from the bus, asking for directions, and the tuk will drive you right to the entrance, give you a short tour. If you are in those parts, do not forget to go down the stairs - a young temple elephant lives there. If you are not too lazy to go early, somewhere between 8-9 in the morning, you will get to the morning service, the elephant is taken out, and he bows to the huge Buddha. (this must be seen, the break in the pattern is major! ).

In Galle, it's still worth taking a bus for 60 rupees ($ 0.5). A tour from TO for $ 60 with a bus full of Slavs is completely different. The fortress itself, hand on heart - nothing unusual. But a trip to the local bass is a good charge of positiFF : )
We got to another cricket championship, and from the fortress, being above the stands, there is a good (and free) view of the local stadium.
