I have long dreamed of visiting Sri Lanka. Ever since there were no children. And so, when the eldest was already 10, the stars decided to coincide and indicated to us - it's time, and highlighted the dates of the children's holidays. And without hesitation, we grabbed FlyDubai tickets. And we sit satisfied that we are already flying, and Sri Lanka will not go anywhere from us. With an expression on his face like a cat that has climbed into a box and looks out from there with the look of a conqueror. But it turned out to be much more difficult.

In Sri Lanka, at the end of October, it is not yet the season, and there are big waves. Presumably, the waves will wash the children into the sea, preventing us from sipping the coconut juice from the straw in peace. This was annoying, and we started looking for beaches without waves. What did the whole Turpravda help us with ( https://www.turpravda.com/lk/question-98347.html).


I don’t remember where I read about Weligama. When I looked at this bay on the map (see photo), I thought that, according to the laws of physics, there would definitely be no waves here. But I was wrong, the waves in Sri Lanka were, are and will be everywhere and always.
The hotel is somewhere on the verge between decent and comfortable. New, clean. By the standards of Sri Lanka, it is not at all small, it is on the outskirts. It is on the first line, but there is no exit from the territory directly to the beach. But most of the rooms have an ocean view. The beach in this part of the bay is nicer than in Weligama itself. It is wider and cleaner. Nearby is the mouth of a large freshwater stream, but this did not cause any discomfort.

Food at the hotel is also on the verge between decent and tasty. With restaurants nearby tight, you need to take a tuk-tuk and go to the center. The center is full of everything, and the road is very inexpensive. The store is also far away, next to it is only a fruit shop.

Family rooms do not overlook the ocean, like the others, but the neighboring hotel. This hotel has a very narrow specialization - British surfers under the age of 30 live in it. They yell, drink and dance to loud music.
Once we even had to subdue them, because the party did not end at 22, as usual. My English made an impression on them, and they quickly went to their rooms, drunk.
