We went to Sri Lanka in early July at the height of the rainy season, although in fact, out of 10 days of our vacation, it really rained like a wall and did not stop for a whole day, it rained only 2 days. The hotel is wonderful, I would even say that it draws on more than 3 * number of stars. There are very few rooms and mostly they are detached houses, which for me personally - always suffering from the sounds coming from behind the wall of the next room - was just wonderful. The hotel staff is very pleasant, from the waiters to the cleaners. Everything is invisible and unobtrusive. They clean with high quality, and, as it turned out, it’s not customary for them to leave a tip for cleaning))) Having discovered generous alms from us for their work, the guys, of whom there were already 3 in the room, blinked in confusion and did not know how to divide one piece of paper into three ))))
Breakfast and dinner were taken as meals. Since there were already two of us who took dinner at the hotel, all dishes were prepared exclusively according to our order from the menu, not very quickly, but VERY TASTY. Kudos to the chef!! ! I already spoke about the waiters, but I repeat - well done. One of them, having heard my thoughts about a mobile card, gave his own for use. He offered and flatly refused to take the money. I must say that in the nearest store, a sim card without a penny in the account cost 500 rupees. The beach is a 10-minute walk along the street with shops and travel agencies. In a word, I recommend the Flower Garden Hotel to everyone!
Now, about the negative.

Lord! On the 10th road, bypass the Sun Tours travel agency, located along the road to the beach, along with its manager, the plump Thushari. With her, we went on a two-day tour to see the city of Kandy, the elephant orphanage and Sigiriya. Firstly, in half of the places declared under "included in the tour", we paid ourselves. Secondly, the driver's English vocabulary is very, very poor, and it was declared again that he would speak smartly. By the way, we did not find anyone speaking Russian near our hotel or on the beach, there were no Russians in the hotel besides us, maybe they prefer another time of the year, but the fact remains: if you don’t speak any other language other than Russian , in Sri Lanka it will be tight)))
