We were brought to the hotel at 8 am, met with wet towels and offered to have breakfast for 1500 rupees! They settled in the room from one o'clock in the afternoon, offered to pay 35 bucks, but warned that the room would be ready only at 11.30 - we refused, changed (I always take swimwear in hand luggage) took towels and went to the ocean.
We expected a little more from the hotel, the hotels are near LankaSupercorals, Heaven Seven Hikkaduwa and Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon
WIFI. INTERNET in the hotel is good at the reception, on the sunbeds, and in the room it catches but weakly.
HOTEL and NEARBY - the first line. The hotel staff responds to requests and tries, they cleaned the room well, but sometimes not all the towels were laid down - I had to catch and ask. The territory is small, well-groomed. The pool around it is tile, grass, several trees under which sunbeds are located, chipmunks are running around. coconut palms, a few steps and you are in the ocean, after walking 300 meters along the beach to the right, HikkaTrans hotel former ChaayaTranzHikkaduwa 4 * now Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon with turtles. To the left 2 minutes along the Nippon Villa Beach Resort beach there is a beach with waves which we liked this time. Opposite the hotel there is a Sandagiri Food City supermarket and a wine market, there are many small shops, shops and exchangers nearby. this time the rate is higher at the airport 1$=150.3 LKR. Leaving the hotel on the road on the left side, go for about 15 minutes, there will be a blue-lilac fruit market, there are fish points near it, opposite the market there is a supermarket, a pharmacy, a bus station and a railway station. station. At the railway station on Sundays there is a large market with things and products. The entrance to the pier near the market where you can buy shrimp was paid 100 rupees!
I rate the hotel 3+* or 4-*.
Of the living creatures in the room, we saw small ants, at night a gecko ran behind the closet. On the territory of the hotel we saw a lot of chipmunks, small and slightly larger monitor lizards, crows and other birds. Mosquitoes sometimes bit on the street after sunset, we took a spray on the body and there was a fumigator in the room.
NUMBER- paid standard. We settled in the corner from Lanka at No. 303 with an ocean view above the restaurant to about 20 square meters. A small one with a silly exit to the balcony up steep steps with a narrow opening 50 cm wide. A glass door and a lamp with a sharp triangle in front of the door (the husband hit his head on the lamp with a height of 190). The room has a small refrigerator, air conditioning worked well, a tea set, 1 liter. water every day in the room, plasma TV 32", 1 chair, 2 bedside tables, a small closet in it a safe and 6 trempels, a mirror, a mosquito fumigator. A large bed, 4 small pillows. In the bathroom, 2 towels per person and 1 per floor, 2 shampoos, 2 soaps and 2 bathing caps. The shower is built into the corner of the wall - it was not convenient to swim in the very corner. Balcony with clothes dryer. Bed linen is white. Only the last two floors of the room are good, there are deluxes.
FOOD - our tour paid HB half board, tea, instant coffee and Lavaza coffee, milk could be drunk in the restaurant in the morning - everything is in teapots, for dinner only water from a jug is free, Breakfast is quite normal - scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs, croissants, sausages, pasta and potatoes, vegetables, bananas, watermelon and papaya every day, passion fruit, seusep and guava also alternated, 3 types of juice of quite good quality, fried waffles and pancakes.
More dinner, potatoes, pasta, rice, fish and chicken legs, pork and beef in gravy, once a week shrimp, once crabs, twice squid, three spicy dishes, but there was plenty to choose from and not spicy at all, eggplant, tomatoes, cucumbers. Sweets included pudding, jelly, fruit salad and pineapples in gravy, and fruit.
There are no complaints about nutrition, except for small comments.
There is a POOL, small with different depths from 80 cm to 1.8 meters, they are cleaned every day, disinfected with a tablet, there is a smell of bleach, you can swim late in the evening. There were no irritations on the body. Towels can be taken and changed at least every hour, there are brand new striped ones, and there are very washed khaki ones. There are no umbrellas.
THE BEACH is public, near the Lanka hotel there is a small lagoon, at low tide the depth is 90 cm, and at high tide 1 meter 40 cm. A big wave does not reach the shore, because it breaks on corals 70 meters from the shore. You can go to the beach near the Hikka Tranzby Cinnamon hotel, the former Chaaya Trans, where four large turtles constantly play with people on the cape, the beach was washed away by a stream of water twice in this race - the river from the village overflows from the rains and flows into the ocean. You can walk a little further towards the market to the boats and swim there on small waves at Dolphin and Smak.
WEATHER IN APRIL - from October 1 to October 11.2017, it rained every night, mostly in the afternoon and not for very long, it didn’t bother us at all and the rain didn’t prevent us from enjoying our vacation.
SHOPPING- Of course, TEA!! ! In the supermarket, they bought Mlesna tea Mlesna 610 rupees a pack of 250 grams, it is plantation and also of good quality. Spices bought in small shops by weight and in supermarkets packages, black peppercorns 1800 rupees 1kg. Fruits - pineapple 170 rupees 1kg, several types of mango from 350 rupees to 700 rupees per 1kg. Passion fruit 2 types sour round 350 rupees 1kg, and oval sweet 700 rupees 1kg.
During our holiday, the rate was 1 $ = 150 LKR (Sri Lankan rupees).
The TOUR was taken 2 days before departure from JoinUp, the cost of the tour fell by a lot from them. Everything went according to plan, with no complaints. Air carrier Air Arabia (Air Arabia) with a transfer in Sharjah. The plane was from Kyiv to Sharjah 5 hours, there between flights a little more than 1 hour and from Sharjah to Colombo 5 hours. The meeting side of the Concord Exotic Voyages bus to the hotel and back to the airport is very convenient and we drove for about 3.5 hours, part of the road along the autobahn. It took us 23 hours to get from home to the hotel.
VISA - we issued upon arrival in Colombo $ 40 per person. On the plane from Sharjah to Colombo, they gave us migration cards, we filled them out.
This time they didn’t take excursions, they themselves went by bus to Galle, the ticket price was 40 rupees per person, on the train 20 rupees.
Athletes constantly alternately visit the hotel for a couple of days. Vacationers are Germans, British, Russians, Ukrainians and Chinese.
The time difference in summer is +2 and a half hours in Sri Lanka. We considered GOA, but the Tour Operators had a flight program only until March 18, after 18, the cost was not included in any framework....
April 14.2017 was the New Year in Sri Lanka. In this regard, from the 10th to the 17th, there were many closed shops, the markets did not work stably, and everything was swept off the shelves in supermarkets! Our friends arrived later than us and rested until April 18, they were less fortunate because of the holidays, the hotels were packed to capacity, food at the hotel sometimes did not have time to cook for everyone.
Conclusion - on the full moon, on public holidays and New Year's, you should not fly on vacation. As well as in Ramadan in the Arab countries.
If the cost of the tour is not high, then I recommend the hotel, but it does not pull on 4 *.
All the right choice and good rest!
