I will not dissemble, but the choice fell on this hotel because of the price. We were interested in the excursion program 4 days + rest on the ocean. It was on Hikkaduwa that the choice fell because of the presence of a coral reef (albeit primitive compared to the corals of Egypt) - well, we love to look at the fish. From the reviews about Hikkaduwa, we learned about turtles and a surfer beach, the proximity of a supermarket and such an excursion site as Galle. Taking into account all the information collected, we chose the most inexpensive offer - this particular hotel. On the trip, we were more interested in its beginning - the excursion part.
The hotel was not as bad as they wrote about it here! The furniture is old, but neat and clean, the room is large, the kettle, refrigerator and air conditioning work. Only the propeller fan on the ceiling was frightening, I was still afraid when it would fly away. but oddly enough he held on to the ceiling tightly. The hotel's beach has its own mini coral reef, where a local red dog fishes. We periodically selected this prey of his and went to feed a large dolmatian murrena, which lived right next to it - an unforgettable experience. Early in the morning we went to the beach to the surfers, picking coconuts along the way. Then we moved in the opposite direction - to the beach with turtles. and then, further - to the beach with a coral reef. Near the pool they rested already in the evening - they fed the chipmunks and chased the monitor lizard - they had fun in general.
About nutrition. The kitchen in the hotel, compared with the triples in other cities, is rather weak.

Breakfasts are monotonous, but if you get bored - take yourself a fish chutney - a fire in your mouth will make you forget about everything in the world.
Dinner. Always with live music on the theme of dinner - Mexico, America, Russia and other countries. Tasty and varied, sometimes with ice cream.
We went to Halle ourselves, on a local bus - with our money 4.5 hryvnia per person one way. The trip turned out to be very colorful, we thought to return by train, but its schedule did not suit us. We wandered around the Galle fort, sunbathed there, behind the lighthouse, on the beach. We walked around the city with a map. The prices in local stores are the same as in the markets of Hikkaduwa, but the goods are different. Separately, I will say that the prices in the markets throughout the country are the same and are written on the factory packaging - very convenient.
