After reading a lot of reviews, we chose the Eva Lanka hotel for ourselves. The hotel is the farthest on the coast, so be prepared for a four-hour transfer from the airport. The road is very hard. But the next day, when everyone slept, ate and came to their senses, you begin to understand what beauty you got into.
The hotel has a large, beautiful area. Accommodation in separate houses, normal beds, working air conditioners, refrigerators, kettle, cups, hair dryer, towels. Do not expect hot water in the morning - water is heated by the sun in an elementary iron barrel, which is on the roof of the house. TV and wi-fi only at the reception, which turned out to be only +, because nothing was kept in the room and allowed more to enjoy the ocean, nature, books and just communication. In general, the atmosphere is quiet and calm. The staff (with the exception of a friend who sits at the reception and his name is Manju) is polite, friendly, not spoiled by our rudeness. Daily replenishment of 2 bottles of water 0.5 l, cleaning, change of towels and linen. There are mosquito nets on the windows, salamanders crawl on the walls inside, which eat insects and do not cause fear. The hotel has 2 swimming pools (a large one about 15-20 m near the reception and a small one with a diameter of 5-10 m near the descent to the beach) with sea water, allowing you to swim around the clock both at night and in the rain. Safe deposit box free of charge at the reception. From entertainment there is nothing at all. They wrote about squash - there is not even a playground, there are 2 dead tables for small tennis and that's it.
The hotel offers Ayurvedic massage services (they say it's not bad, but we haven't tried it), yoga lessons. The hotel's beach is beautiful, the sand is clean, large amber-yellow, very pleasant. Ocean waves are extinguished by the reef and reach the shore with a safe force that even children do not lick out of the water. Swimming on the waves near the shore is completely safe and brings a lot of joy to everyone.
The food at the hotel is a buffet. Breakfast is standard: croutons, scrambled eggs, rice, chicken, live local curd yogurt, sausages, bananas, mangoes, pineapple, coffee, tea, milk, etc. Lunch and dinner were not taken. We bought fruits at the market (extraordinarily tasty, sweet), yogurt in the store, kefir from buffalo milk - where do you eat this with us? There is a cafe on the beach and not far from the hotel 7-10 min walk. You can also take a tuk-tuk to Tangalla or Dikwella to cafes. no problem. Everyone speaks a little Russian. There are no bars, no nightclubs, no shops.
Excursions from the region are safe and even desirable to take from beach-boys, the prices from the tour operator go off scale. When you go down to the beach, choose who you like best. We took excursions from Mais and Shaminda, we were very pleased with the organization and attitude. Mais also organized a surf teacher for us. They were unhappy with Suren, an impudent type: they agreed to go with him to Dikwella to a tea shop, he didn’t go himself, put his brother behind the wheel, who didn’t understand anything in Russian, didn’t know where this tea shop was located, and then it turned out that he didn’t go at all closed on this day.
The climate in this part of the island is equatorial, so all year round the same temperature during the day is about + 28C. The ocean temperature is also about + 26-28C. Rain, or rather a tropical downpour, we found on the day of arrival, more precipitation was not observed. The amount of ultraviolet is enough to burn in the shade even with special creams. Tip: in the first half of the day, wear hats, sunbathe and swim in long-sleeved T-shirts.
I already want to go back.
In general, you need to tune in to rest, good mood and relaxation, and your vacation will be really the best, full of positive and only good memories !! !
