We really liked Albatros Palace Resort. We rested with my husband. The hotel is located 10-15 km from the airport (this is important for us). We stayed in a STANDARD ROOM room.
I liked the hotel for its cleanliness and friendliness. Rooms are cleaned every day and tips are not asked! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and welcoming. Speaking of excursions.
We rested in Grand Rotana in August 2015. The hotel is excellent. We took a Premium room, walk 1-2 minutes to the sea along a beautiful promenade. The room has all the necessary shower accessories, which are added every day.
We were satisfied with the choice of the Tangerine Beach 4 * hotel (Sri Lanka). A cozy spacious deluxe room overlooking the ocean and the chic hotel grounds. Everything is very well-groomed, friendly staff greets several times a day).
Due to the large number of foreigners in the hotel, there are daily mini newspapers in 4 languages, which is very important for me, as there is a chance to practice English.
