We chose a hotel for a honeymoon, away and for fewer people, guessed it . . a huge long beach is completely deserted, since it is quite far from the nearest hotels in both directions.
The road is very tiring, we drove from the airport for about 6 hours (when booking a tour, you can order an individual transfer for 3 hours), but when you arrive, you get a delicious fresh juice in your hands and forget about everything. They settled quickly, brought the suitcases, refused to take the money. The rooms are cleaned every day, snow-white towels are thrown into the basket and changed constantly.
Monkeys, peacocks, turtles, some beautiful birds, lizards up to one and a half meters all walk around the territory in abundance, in most other hotels there is no such thing as civilization, and here the jungle! )) except for the monkeys, no one aspired))

The waves are a bomb, up to 2 meters, the girls really can’t swim there (you can go to the lagoons where there are small waves on tuk tuks or minibuses, the most picturesque lagoon was where surfers learn to swim), but the guys will be a pleasure, splashing, jumping on the waves, diving just be careful in them ; -)) you can do it for hours, the water is warm, I don’t know the exact temperature, but the frost itself didn’t get out of the water there either.
We went on not far excursions and for beer (two times cheaper in the city) with a guy named Asanka from the beach, sociable, quite adequately understands both English and Russian, he himself stopped the tuk tuk to take a picture of manky, snakes, peacocks. Maybe cook some kind of seafood shrimp there or something else. On the way back I ordered bananas and mangoes from him to eat on the plane. Buy mangoes not imported, but local ones, they are smaller but much tastier.
For all food, drinks that you buy at the hotel, there will be another + 25% when paying, some kind of government tax on tourists, so keep that in mind. They don’t take money right away, it’s recorded on the room and when you check out or at any time you can go to the reception to pay.
There are three restaurants nearby at the exit, one on the left and two on the right, they cook differently but everything is delicious. In your restaurant, food is present and spicy and very spicy and not at all spicy, you won’t stay hungry enough deliciously)) We slept through breakfast once, found it by the pool and brought a plate of fruit. In the evening, if you walk in the dark, a guard comes up to light the road with a flashlight. They don’t let you swim at night (dangerous), but we spent it again with a flashlight... we walked)) In general, I advise those who love a calm, measured rest. We liked it very much, we will definitely come back))
