All changes (after restructuring) can be seen in the video report, which I am attaching. I won’t say anything about nutrition, because. did not eat in it. The beach is wide. Has its own spa. The hotel is recommended as an inexpensive option for a relaxing holiday on the ocean.

I didn't like the fact that it took a long time to get from the airport to the hotel. But I liked everything else. The people are good. Nature is beautiful, the ocean is warm. I especially liked the tours. In this case, our guide Nisa is a professional. A reliable person who knows the history of his homeland.

In August I flew to Sri Lanka, I really liked the country, nature and of course the ocean. Rested at the hotel HIBISCUS BEACH first line, Vaskaduwa near the city of Kalutara. Cool hotel! There is a garden, two swimming pools. The ocean is very close and attracted with its colossal energy, view, spaciousness.

In August I flew to Sri Lanka, I really liked the country, nature and of course the ocean.
Rested at the hotel HIBISCUS BEACH first line, Vaskaduwa near the city of Kalutara. Cool hotel! There is a garden, two swimming pools.
The ocean is very close and attracted with its colossal energy, view, spaciousness. You can swim in August, but there were waves. Despite everything, we swam, floated on the waves, just rejoiced and sunbathed!
For 12 days of rest, only one short-term rain fell out. There were very few tourists, so they enjoyed comfort, tranquility, unity with nature.
The hotel has excellent food, its own restaurant. Cuisine, menu for every taste. Every day lunches and dinners are different.
We ate for pleasure. Really delicious cooking.
Room overlooking the garden and pool, room cleaning daily with change of towels and linen.
If during the day they didn’t put fragrant flowers on the bed after cleaning, then in the evening they will politely ask permission to enter the room and carefully lay out these beautiful, pleasantly smelling flowers, (at no extra charge) such a service. Also, a device against mosquitoes is installed in the outlet, they regularly change the plate in it. And no mosquitoes disturbed. The room has air conditioning, a ceiling fan, LCD TV-set, a safe in the closet, a small cold box, a double bed and other furniture.
One couple from Europe came to this hotel for the 15th or 16th time supposedly saw their photo on the stand
hotel in 2010. In honor of the tenth visit in a row of this family, the hotel staff planted a name tree (sapling) together with them
that year, that's the tradition.
The attitude is excellent, polite to guests, tourists. In the evening, if someone did not come to dinner, they will call the room, ask
about well-being and bring a huge tray of food to your room. What happened to me when my head ached a lot after a long stay in the sun and I didn’t want to go to a restaurant. They apologized for the trouble and brought dinner, at that moment I forgot about my illness and my health became much better!
There are many excursions to choose from, Sri Lanka cannot be bypassed, not seen all. You have to come several times.
A beautiful and excellent excursion to Kandy, the former capital of the island. It takes all day, this includes: elephant riding, a tea factory, a plantation, a garden of trees from which medicines and various oils are made, a visit to the Peradeniya royal botanical garden - stunningly beautiful, and a Buddha temple. I ordered from the official travel agency.
Some excursions are cheaper with local people - beach guys and tukers.
Met them - tuker: Santa (lives near the hotel) and Amir met him on the beach. Honest people, having agreed on a trip and a price without deceit, they will take you where you need to, show them and wait.
I went with one and the other to another beach - Bentota Bay - a calmer and more beautiful place for swimming, and other excursions.
There is another guide at the hotel, his name is Sami, but he is 15-20% more expensive. But he organizes a more distant excursion
on a safari jeep to the Yala park in the very south of the island + a trip to the fort-fortress of Galle and swimming in the Unawatuna bay, all this in one
day. We were then four tourists and returned in the evening very satisfied.
So, dear tourists, fly to Sri Lanka and you will NOT regret it . .
I wish you good luck and great experiences.

The most difficult part of the whole trip is probably the road to Sri Lanka and the hotel itself. The flight is tiring, especially when it’s bad for someone all the way (air sickness : )), you don’t get food, and upon arrival you go through the capital, crossing which you stretch in a continuous traffic jam! Take note of the fact that when you arrive in Sri Lanka, at every step they will want to untwist you for money.

The flight is tiring, especially when it’s bad for someone all the way (air sickness : )), you don’t get food, and upon arrival you go through the capital, crossing which you stretch in a continuous traffic jam!
Take note of the fact that when you arrive in Sri Lanka, at every step they will want to untwist you for money. Out of ignorance, my wife and I fell for the bait only once (at the very beginning of our vacation), when, crossing a distance of 400 meters from the airport to the parking lot, just before approaching us in our minibus, a smiling Sri Lankan approached us, took the suitcases, drove them 50 meters and asked 1000 rupees (about $8). Because we thought what kind of transfer it was, we gave him money. But as it turned out, we were just beautifully bred! : )
Well, this is all from fatigue and we will assume that a donation to support the pants of the local population! : )
The main thing is that when we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted with wreaths of flowers, fresh juice (which is refreshing in the heat) and, having arranged our accommodation in just 20 minutes, we were shown and placed in a room. I want to say that we got the room closest to the ocean and on the 1st floor. At first, we thought that it would have been better on the 2nd, but as it turned out, we had a chic room. Firstly, it was stuffy on the 2nd floor. Secondly, you can quickly get to any point on the territory of the hotel. And thirdly, it was wonderful to sit on the terrace in the evening with a bottle of beer under king prawns and enjoying the sounds of the raging ocean.
I would like to note that from the first minute of your arrival, local beach-boys, who stand outside the hotel and wait for you to go to the ocean or outside the hotel (they do not have the right to enter the hotel), already know about you and in which room You have been placed. Everyone in Hibiscus recommends Nissa (he speaks excellent Russian). However, it drives up the price. My advice to you, going out towards the ocean and turning left, go towards the next hotel (the next one after ours). Ask the local guys Amil (they usually hang out on the beach, play football or just sit under palm trees) or you can, if you bought a local SIM card (I advise you not to buy at the airport, find Amil and he will buy you a cheaper card) dial him by number (077.663-47-16. I recommend! You will not regret! A great guy, he doesn’t take a lot of money (he even took 50 rupees on a tuk-tuk, excursions were much cheaper than Nisa’s), he gives his mother the shrimp that you buy to cook, and just a friendly cheerful little man!
Traveled with my wife alone in Halle by train. I want to say - colorful! : ) Again, Amil took me to the station, bought a ticket there, told me everything, and then met me on a tuk-tuk at the railway station in the evening. Galle is a great town where you should visit Unawatuna Beach (a cool beach with clean water) and a fort with a lighthouse in the city itself near the railway station.
Also, we took an excursion to Bentota (brother Amil drove by tuk-tuk). We visited a turtle farm; the bay where they bought; mangroves on a motor boat, where they saw the beauties of the Bentota Ganga river, the Buddha temple, as well as the local waterfall (small but beautiful).
On the very last day, we went (with another couple of newlyweds) to Sigiriya. I will tell you, incredible beauty opens up when you climb to the very top of the cliff. In addition, it is full of living creatures, and especially funny monkeys!
Sri Lanka is full of monitor lizards (they even walk around the hotel), salamanders and just small lizards. Delighted fruits and their abundance.
As for the food and service at the hotel, everything was at the highest level. My wife and I took breakfast and dinner on a tour and, I want to say, they did not lose! If you don’t take dinner on a tour, then eating in restaurants or even ordering at a hotel separately will cost you an order of magnitude more expensive. The buffet is varied with seafood, meat dishes, local side dishes (even potatoes are available), as well as various fruits.
Every day, our room was cleaned by funny guys, they put flowers on the bed (very fragrant) and sometimes twisted figures from towels.
There is of course one BUT. After dinner, the hotel dies out. If you do not get acquainted with a cheerful company, you will go to bed at 8 o'clock! )
I advise you on the first day to get acquainted with vacationers, cooperate (profitable for the same excursions) and have a blast! Volleyball or other entertainment during the day, beer, partying and drinking in the evening! : ) And the rest will be just wonderful! )
By the way, the same Amil sometimes arranged entertainment for all his clients. Or it was a hunt for crabs at night and after they were cooked on the ocean at the stake. Or a party with locals to the sound of a drum, with a huge fire and local brandy! Amil gave us a farewell party with a fire, rakia, drums and an exchange of flags!
In general, my wife and I liked everything and we left Sri Lanka only with positive emotions and memories.

The ocean beach near the hotel is also being cleaned.

The hotel is small but cozy. The advantage of the beach is that it is 30 meters deep and even with big waves you can go into the ocean and jump on the waves. We have never swum in the pool, because the ocean is something =) Near the hotel along the coast there are cafes, massage parlors. Massage on site is much more expensive than you can bargain for 50 meters from the hotel, and everyone uses the same oil.

The food at the hotel is delicious, everything spicy is marked as spicy, a lot of fruits, unrealistically delicious pineapples.
Oh yes, even a monitor lizard was wandering around the territory of the hotel, and chipmunks were jumping on pineapple trees =)
Tuk-tuk drivers gather near the entrance to the hotel all the time. You need to be more careful with them. Some go to the beach, look for untanned tourists and offer to take them to the city for pennies. . . But they bring them to special fruit stalls in the market, and there the tourists are already heated to the fullest =)
We met Santa. This is a tall, curly-haired and very cheerful Sri Lankan who took us on excursions, bought cheap and very tasty fruits =) In general, we need to look =)

The hotel is good, like other hotels in the area, beautiful territory, good rooms, good food, good service, but very boring, in the evening after excursions there is nothing to do in the hotel, no entertainment program, everyone sleeps at 22 o'clock. wi-fi only at the reception and very weak. I arrived there on April 26 to May 5, the first two days were gorgeous, the sun was warm, the ocean was super, then it started to rain, first an hour, then two, three.

I arrived there on April 26 to May 5, the first two days were gorgeous, the sun was warm, the ocean was super, then it started to rain, first an hour, then two, three... every day it rained longer, on the day of departure we sat for 30 minutes in the plane on the runway and waited until the downpour stops, generally not the season.
From this hotel it is very far to go to the sights, any excursion is at least 3 hours (Colombo) one way.
Ask the locals to show you beautiful places that are not described in your itinerary, they have beautiful waterfalls, mountains, plantations, 1-1.5 hours drive from the hotel.
Be sure to buy and eat Mangosteen, this is a very healthy and tasty fruit, you can buy it not far from the hotel, where tea and souvenirs are.
Bargain with everyone! ))) They are very arrogant, I had the feeling that I was in a gypsy village)))
If you have chosen this hotel, then your evening entertainment may be scaring or catching crabs on the ocean, if you get to know the locals they are called beach boys, they will entertain you, catch crabs for you, chop coconuts, invite you to visit.
ThereImetagreatguyHussiehttp://vk.com/id240917235, who organized interesting excursions, showed beautiful places, told what and where it is better to buy, organized a fun celebration of the day of all workers on May 1. Hussie speaks excellent Russian, lives in Kyiv and there, through him you can buy tea in the future.
Tuk-tuk local transport, from the hotel to the bazaar in Kalutara and back we went for 100-150 rupees.
Money, if not a large amount, can be changed with locals, at a rate better than you change at the airport, in restaurants, and for souvenirs it is also more profitable to pay in dollars. we changed the dollar at the airport $ 1 - 128 rupees, the locals changed us for 130 rupees.

We liked the hotel. Everything is quiet. The service is not intrusive. Purely. The rooms are quite decent, of course, without glamor, but everything you need is there. No teapot, but not a problem, there is a thermos kettle. You can get hot water. In the morning, not cooled down, including coffee, you can drink if you wish.

The food is varied for all tastes. You can eat spicy, but for those who do not like there is an alternative. In the morning in front of you (optional) they fry an omelette or scrambled eggs, in the evening fish or poultry. The menu does not repeat. We are satisfied. Moreover, they did not sit still, but traveled.

The hotel is beautiful (adjusted that it is 3 stars), hearty breakfasts / dinners (as much as you want), the room is normal (for 20 bucks they settled on the 2nd floor overlooking the ocean, although there is no point in this - you still only spend the night in the room, you can do not overpay). The territory is small, but well-groomed.

The territory is small, but well-groomed. 2 pools (deep and shallow) + children's paddling pool).
A lot of living creatures can be found on the territory itself - we saw a monitor lizard, a gecko, chipmunks, a chameleon (and this is all without going beyond).
There are enough beds for everyone.
Locals bring coconuts and peel right away (1-2 dollars)
Correctly say that it is better to change the currency at the airport - the most favorable rate there.
If you go out through the main entrance and go to the right, you can find a small shop nearby where you can buy water in large bottles (5 times cheaper than in a hotel), if you go further, there are fresh fruits, tea, etc. at the intersection, and if turn left and walk 100 meters - on the left side you will find a small room where they sell chic tea.
Excursions were taken from a local, his name is Alex - he comes in the evening after dinner, walks with a flashlight, shows crabs, speaks good Russian. Very pleasant and sincere! Most of all we liked it. The main thing - do not be afraid of the locals) They are kind)
Briefly about the cons:
1) wi-fi is not free, it only catches in the lobby
2) if you also want to dine, then +20 Basques per day (it is better to eat in restaurants on the coast)
3) small lizards in the room)
4) everyday Sri Lanka fashion week - locals come and offer clothes to buy
