Overall, we were satisfied with our stay at the hotel. Choosing Sri Lanka, we read a lot about the country, so we imagined where we were going. planned to combine vacation on the ocean coast and see the country. UIA flew. Refueling in Abu Dhabi took an hour. 5h to UAE and 5.40min. to Colombo. the plane for such a long flight could be larger and, accordingly, more comfortable. Our UIA...
An air-conditioned taxi outside the airport was found for $35 and took about an hour. We arrived at the hotel exhausted after the flight at about seven in the morning and were ready to pay extra for an early check-in, as when booking a room online on the hotel website, we received a confirmation letter about a possible check-in only at 10.00, but received the keys immediately. We lived in a villa on the second floor overlooking the ocean. The room is comfortable enough. the smell of dampness is present (the pillows were asked to be replaced), the high humidity probably justifies this.
the bed was changed every day, tips, as elsewhere, are welcome: ) although the towels were changed every day, they did not smell fresh. Either they save on powder, or on a dryer, a hotel flaw. That's probably all my complaints about the hotel. The chipmunks were fed from their hands with seeds they had brought with them. On the territory they photographed a small iguana and a large one, I hope that it was still a snake and of course an elephant. The Indian Ocean again pleased with its warmth and power. And I drank some water and rode on my knees. The waves are really strong. I don’t know how and to whom the sound of the ocean can interfere? I enjoyed it, and in the evenings he just lulled me to sleep. Took half board. were satisfied with the food. It's great that the local cuisine is presented in the hotel. For lovers of spicy expanse. Breakfasts are very varied, a large selection of dishes familiar to us and 4-6 dishes of local cuisine.
almost all local dishes are seasoned with various combinations of curry - snake-gorynych. I tried everything with pleasure. we will eat potatoes with chicken at home: ) and of course fruits. always pineapples, papaya, bananas, watermelon, sometimes passion fruit, guava (both for an amateur). It is strange that there was no mango. For dinner, the number and choice of dishes increased significantly. I did not feel a slight feeling of hunger, as nutritionists advise, when leaving the restaurant. In the market, as already mentioned in the reviews, a 10-minute walk to the left of the hotel, they broke away buying mangoes. the prices are really ridiculous. a dollar (108 rupees) can buy three medium ripe mangoes. or five small ones, but yellow and very sweet: ) they took them to Colombo. in general, all markets in Sri Lanka are located near the railway station. stations. To feel the local flavor and see the surroundings, you can ride the train.
From Wadduwa station to Colombo by train, an hour's ride, a two-way ticket in the third class (train in Ukraine) 60 rupees per person. This is really where they felt like white crows. But the Sinhalese are very friendly people, and even looking at you intently, as soon as they meet your eyes, they smile. We traveled from Colombo to Kandy by train. the road rises to the mountains, the height is 500 meters above sea level, in some places it passes over a cliff - photo class, but there were enough thrills, we returned back by bus. We visited a turtle farm near the beaches of Kosgoda - I expected more and an elephant nursery in Pinnawella - I liked it very much. were at a small factory for the extraction and processing of sapphires, a store with certificates for products, on the territory. Were and on factory on processing tea. Tasted and bought there. We visited the monastery and the temple on its territory, inside which is the entire path of the Buddha.
Rest and in the hotel and in the country were satisfied. the only thing that upset the sweetheart very much was that he could not find the wonderful fruit durian, they say it is out of season, I personally was only glad of this. If anyone has questions, I'll be happy to answer.
