The hotel is located 2.5 hours drive from Colombo.
Upon arrival at the hotel, we were greeted by smiling staff very friendly, with cold fresh juices, tea and wet towels. We were taken to our room almost immediately.
We had a superior room with an ocean view. This type of room does not have a bath, only a shower. The room is spacious and bright. The furniture is new, a plasma TV with a Russian-language TV channel (in case of bad weather; ) ) Unfortunately, rains are a frequent occurrence in Sri Lanka. . .
The hotel is just super, corresponds to its five stars !!! )) Very positive staff, service at the highest level.
Room cleaning - daily. Bath accessories (shower gel, lotion, shampoo), tea, coffee, cream are updated every day... The only thing is, there are no slippers and bathrobes in the rooms.

The location of the hotel is very convenient - you can walk to the market and shops. I advise you to walk a little, you can see a lot of interesting things. We even walked to the city of Bentota)) And if you get tired or don’t like to walk a lot, then the locals everywhere and everywhere offer to take you on their Tuk-tuk. Just trade with them. . . ))
The only huge minus for the hotel is the beach.
I am writing for those who were not informed in detail before leaving for Sri Lanka. The beaches there are different. . . In Beruwella, including near the Cinnamon Bay hotel, there is a beach with small shell rock and stones. . . Yes, the presence of a coral reef in the vicinity of the coast forms a small lagoon, because. all huge waves are stopped by the reef. . . But this is not a plus at all, in my opinion. . . On the contrary. . . We entered the ocean with caution, constantly afraid to step on some stone or piece of reef. . . We my husband took a little ride along the southern coast of Sri Lanka)) Therefore, I can safely advise the beach of the city of Hikkaduwa... Light, soft sand, wide coastline. We were just delighted. This is probably the best beach in Sri Lanka))
Sorry, got a little off topic. . .
Food - we only had breakfast. And we did not regret it much... We mostly dined at the "Sunflowers" restaurant. It is located on the ocean, about 5 minutes walk from the hotel to the left along the coast. The prices there are reasonable and very tasty!! ! Lobsters, king prawns, fish. . . Everything is very tasty and huge portions)))
We met a local resident, with whom we traveled a lot on Tuk-tuk. He is Russian-speaking, very kind and positive man)) He showed and told us a lot of things. His name is Ranga. He conducts excursions and can simply drive around the city, show where and what you can buy at normal prices. His contact number in Sri Lanka is 009.77 6308748. Maybe it will be useful for someone : ))
P. S. I don't impose on anyone. All of the above is just my personal opinion!
Sri Lanka is heaven on earth!! !
