Vacationing in Sri Lanka for the first time. This hotel was chosen based on photos and reviews on the Internet. And also at a relatively low cost for a tour for breakfast / dinner.
After a day on the road, we arrived at the hotel at 2 am. We were greeted by the guy at the reception and shown to our room. He was kind, no delays or extra money required. After the last visit to Egypt - where they extorted 15 USD - it was very pleasant in contrast. Then we asked if we could have something to eat. The restaurant was already closed but the guy offered to give us his biscuits that were left over from dinner. Free and courteous. We were pleasantly surprised by such a nice attitude. All the following days, all the staff were polite, everyone tried very hard and fulfilled any request in a matter of minutes. I have not met the best service, especially since it is 4.
The room had everything you need - air conditioning, mini bar, TV, balcony, tea / coffee. Cleaned up every day.

The dining room is very clean. A good hearty breakfast of scrambled eggs, fruit (pineapple, papaya, watermelon, passion fruit, bananas), yogurt, fried bacon, puffs, salads, etc. Dinner was also very pleasing. Lots of meat, fish, chicken. Some dishes are too peppery for Europeans, but they were signed that they contain curry and those who do not like a lot of pepper are not taken.
Germans, Italians, Indians and a couple of Ukrainians had a rest.
From animation - live music in the evening.
Calm and comfortable. In a sense, a pensioner's option. Who needs to move not to this hotel and not to Sri Lanka in principle.
The hotel is located on line 1. Ocean view from room and restaurant. Complete relaxation and relaxation.
If we consider the beach itself, then in my opinion the reef that is located directly in front of the hotel and delays the waves is rather a minus than a plus. (in previous reviews, people were just happy about this) Because of this natural barrier, the water is more cloudy and foam accumulates. But on the other hand, on those days when there are big waves and you can’t swim anywhere, there is such an opportunity opposite the hotel. The only negative for me personally was the Bentota River a little higher than the hotel, which carried muddy river water with it. It is very full-flowing and, mixing with the waters of the ocean, made the water again more muddy than upstream. So we went to bentotabiche by tuk-tuk or walked and crossed by boat.
From vacation the best impressions, I can advise you to take a hotel cheaper, but for more days, because the island is very rich in sights, various excursions, just for its color, kind sympathetic people. I really want to return.

The hotel is 100% worth its cost, there is simply nothing to complain about
