HELLO!!! ))) I must say right away that we are adequate tourists and always have a positive holiday))) My husband and I were in Sri Lanka for the first time. Before that, we were according to the standard))) - Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia. And so our impressions.
. When we left the airport in Colombo, the first thing that struck me was the high humidity, birdsong and beautiful greenery around.
When we arrived at the hotel, they brought us a wet towel and fresh papaya))). We settled quickly, min. for 30.
Our ROOM was on the third floor. Ocean view-BEAUTY!! ! The rooms in this hotel are ALL on the ocean. The furniture is not new, but it doesn’t fall apart))). There is everything you need. There is a kettle, a set of tea and coffee, sugar and dried cream. Cleaning every day twice. In the evening, put a note on the bed with the wishes of "Good night" in several languages ​ ​ and flowers))). Very nice))). Sockets in the room of the English type.

FOOD is good, varied, but SOOO spicy!! ! Delicious fish, shrimp in batter, rice, fruits (pineapple, papaya, mango, melon, watermelon, passion fruit, etc. ). Once a week they hold a master class on cooking fish, interesting and tasty))). After that they give curry spices for each tourist. Our ticket included only BREAKFAST and DINNER. Drinks are free at breakfast, and at dinner for a fee. Fresh cost 400 rupees. But we agreed with the waiter, he sold two fresh juices for 400. Beer too)). tasty. In supermarkets you can buy for 100-150 rupees.
The territory of the hotel is large, green, I would also say spacious. A large swimming pool. A lot of chipmunks)))) How funny they are! us in the room, they begged for food)). But do not leave anything edible on the tables - EVERYTHING will be eaten or dragged off. Crows are also thieves). Wedding ceremonies were held every day in the hotel. Unusually beautiful)).
The OCEAN was raging. The waves were big. But my husband swam with pleasure))). There are a lot of crabs on the shore.
We rested in the "OUT OF SEASON". It rained. But mostly at night. A couple of times during the rest were during the day, but weak for five minutes, and then again the sun))
We went on an excursion to Kandy. Insanely interesting, informative, but also tiring. But it is MANDATORY to go. Get a lot of impressions and positive!!!
By the way, tea is best of course bought at the factory itself. As souvenirs, you can buy crafts made of leather (bags, wallets) and wood (figurines of elephants, turtles, etc. ).
The country is poor, there is poverty around. . . But you are amazed at the people. They are very kind, sincere, friendly and always smiling)))!!!
In general, we were satisfied !! ! I really liked the hotel, the atmosphere is charming, mysterious and wild in this miracle country))).
We hope we were useful to you, and helped in any way we could)))))))))
If you have any questions, write, we will answer)))
