Hello to everyone who reads reviews like me! Straight to the point. We had the imprudence to contact a very muddy tour operator Proland, who lives in Kyiv. For two months, having booked a tour for 15 days for $ 2880, and in the end they were sent for 11 days for 2600. The reason was the lack of a return flight and no objections. Tip #1: Don't fly with this carrier. We immediately took 4 days of excursions around Sri Lanka at home, which we greatly regretted. 1 day from 11 am we were given to sleep after the flight??? ? 2 day until 1.00 were in Sigiriya and then again the hotel (only breakfast and dinner and no ocean) 3 day temples of Buda, the Botanical Garden. Spice garden, Tea shop. 4. day Kandy languid procession through the temples of the Buddha, even tired of such monotony in the cultural heritage. (I liked the elephant nursery) concerts of the local horror circle, shopping for jewelry, etc. I was very upset that the entrance tickets are clearly overpriced from $ 10 to $ 30 per person and it's just a walk to see and that's it! For their own price is ten times cheaper. In two, leaving $ 200 seemed expensive. In short, we were taken to the ocean for 6 days and, unfortunately, to this hotel! Believe the reviews !! ! The rating of the hotel in Sri Lanka is the lowest. For all inclusive, they bring checks for all orders of drinks and only after painting they will pour. Rooms (lived in the main building on the 1st floor) the usual Egyptian 3 *. The pools are both warm and heated. The staff is unobtrusive but not overbearing. 2 times I asked to fix the air conditioner, they are ok, but as they didn’t blow, they didn’t blow until they left. The food is the hallmark of this place. For 6 days, it has been noticed that if you don’t come first, then you won’t be able to try many dishes. Surprised that the fruit is not abundant. fruit salad of finely chopped watermelons, papaya, pineapples pursued all 6 days! Yes, for 2 days there were crabs (very tasty), shrimp, but the next day the shrimp gave rotten, barely washed hands. The ocean is wonderful, warm and very powerful, which was the main decoration of the trip! My advice 1. Sri Lanka is an interesting region for traveling, but plan them upon arrival at the hotel, it's cheaper and you can get reliable information from our brother. 2 Look for a better hotel, albeit a little more expensive, but to fly for 10 hours and all the time to reassure yourself that everything is fine is wrong. 3. Bargaining with the locals is always appropriate, they always squandered who you can cash in on. We bought 3 pieces of mango for $ 1 the next day for $ 3 and think as you like. We ate fruit, but six days seemed not enough for us! When leaving, do not trust anyone! We waited for our bus for 1 hour at the reception, no one even asked where we were sitting! at the reception, after looking at the vouchers, they generally said that only tomorrow they would be evicting us (for a long time they explained that 3 o’clock in the morning is a new day and we will fly far away) We barely left with a scandal, without insisting on our own, we would have sat there and waited for the weather from the sea! You need to go to Sri Lanka but read the reviews again, 90% is true and don’t think that someone is lying and you will be lucky, look for a decent vacation for your money!
