Our friends stayed at this hotel, it's very good, new, after renovation, free Wi-Fi in the rooms, the beach is normal, they just kind of complained that the food was spicy.

We were for the new year (from 29.12 to 6.01). The hotel is very classy by local standards (not to compare with the 4 stars of Egypt or Turkey). Better than Ocean Villa (our friends stayed there, they said our hotel was better, cheaper and friendlier.). Free WiFi in the rooms, conders, safes, daily housekeeping, sooo friendly staff (especially the manager named Dinesh). Upon arrival, we were greeted like in Hawaii: beads of flowers, all the staff came out, fresh guava and strawberries for us and the guys who were traveling with us from the airport to Villa Ocean.
Normal beach, modest cozy pool, beautiful area. Cons: there are no sun loungers on the beach, you had to lie on towels taken from the pool, after which they were terribly dirty. Another negative is the weddings held daily on the hotel grounds, but this fate befalls most hotels, as the local population has nowhere else to celebrate, as in hotels. In principle, this did not really prevent my wife and I from sunbathing on the beach and swimming in the pool, but there were also not very happy ones who blamed the lack of silence during the "quiet hour".
The prices in the restaurant are the best - that's for sure! Also, seafood was often ordered for lunch with a half-rate. In general - I recommend.

Recommendations for a trip to this hotel were received from the manager of the Globe Tour with iron arguments: "a completely new hotel, you will not find reviews, it opened in January 2013, but we recommend it as a wonderful place to stay." Not a word about the fact that there is simply no NEW hotel, there is a new name for the old hotel "Wadduwa holiday resort", which has died in bose under the new signboard "laya bach". Look for photos of him, when you stop by this supposedly "new" hotel, you will see that everything here is "with old holes." You will become the perfect owner of a room overlooking the ocean (and also with a view of the bald field in front of it), a tiny area, fenced on one side with a chain-link mesh, and on the rest with a gloomy fence of slabs with glass fragments at the top, so that you do not have the opportunity get out of this "paradise" ahead of time. The employees will smile sweetly at you, but at the same time, the food will be disgusting and the service will be terrible.. (The exception is housekeeping, everything is smooth there). If you want to enjoy the round-the-clock cawing of crows, the endless trills of the lawn mower, and, most importantly, the round-the-clock clatter of wheels and locomotive whistles (the railway is exactly 1 m from the main entrance), then you are definitely

then you are right here. Well, having bought vouchers and nevertheless arrived, do not forget that you will not stay here for a minute in the company of your own kind (tourists who have flown from different parts of the world), local residents will dominate here, to whom this mountain is mainly oriented. hotel. Every morning at around 10 o’clock groups of different-aged Sri Lankans come here (here is something like a recreation center) to arrange fun sports on the bald lawn under the balconies of the hotel, fill the already tiny pool with their bodies, have fun at the disco. All day long you will enjoy the aromas of national cuisine that will haunt you in all corners, instead of the sound of ocean waves, disco tunes will rumble in your ears (at best with European tunes, at worst with local shamanic melodies). The ocean is not for swimming, the maximum entrance is waist-deep and one desire to resist the covering dune of the wave. Seafood at least, no fruit (even in the nearest markets there is no choice, the hotel has 2-3 types - pineapple, papaya, banana). Zero infrastructure. If you want to check, take a chance. But, if possible, put your money into something more interesting. Rested with the same company

. We rested with the same company in Thailand, Vietnam, Hainan, we are ready to return to any of these places, but never to Sri Lanka. Or look for a hotel elsewhere. I am writing to you at the moment, being in this hotel, under the windows, another local fun, from which flimsy sound-permeable balcony windows do not save, comments from a sports competition, interspersed with hammering melodies. Think about it, we came by paying for the tours in full (without any promotions and discounts), now I understand that if I knew at least a hundredth of the delights of this holiday, I would not have gone here even for free.
