Hotel tip
Hello fellow vacationers! Since the last-minute tour to this hotel has been paid for since April 10 and nothing can be changed, help for the best pastime with a few tips. How about a laptop? (where to store it in the room, how much does the safe cost or is it better not to take a computer at all?) How much do beachboys tours to Kandy, Sigiriya, Galle, the blue lagoon cost and is it possible to buy 2-day excursions there? How much or what should you pay for a good room? How much does drinking water cost? Do I need to order food on board the plane on my way back? There are a lot of questions, there is not enough time, to everyone who answers - many thanks.

Kandy and Sigiriya in one tour, the cost is 160-180 dollars per person, assembling a group of 4 people will be 20-25 cheaper, assembling a group of 6-8 people will throw off 50-70! You can take notes if you need to, there is Skype, but you need to watch him, especially in the last days before leaving! The safe is not expensive, for 10 days 5 dollars. Call +38050 4712331 Andrey.

counter question: how many days are you on tour? if it’s a week, then the maximum you can go to is Kandy, the guide will offer it for $ 65, it’s for the whole day. Sigiriya is a completely different excursion, they don’t combine and Sigiriya is much further and more expensive. Take the blue lagoon from the beachboys on the beach from $ 15 to $ 25, depending on number of people and distance. Leave $ 1 for the maid and don’t worry about safety in the room. Water will be supplied at 0.5 L per person per day, we personally didn’t have enough, we bought 5L bottles - it costs a penny in the store. Food on board can’t cost $ 30 - for this money you can buy a bunch of sandwiches at the airport. On the way back they give a lunchbox from the hotel. They didn’t pay for the room, everything suited. Sri Lanka is chic, I wish you a great holiday and a gentle ocean.

my girlfriends and I had safes in the rooms - free of charge.
I did not use the Internet, I will not say anything. Excursions did not take - also will not help. The rooms, I think everything is standard there - does it make sense to pay extra ??? Drinking water - it's better to buy a 5-6l bottle - 60-80 rupees (somewhere in these farts) in general, a penny ... On the way back on board, I'd rather buy local food for myself .. although the plane food is not terrible. .. you can eat.

In the Deluxe (detached two-story villa), the safe in the room was free of charge, but the laptop obviously won’t fit there ..)

People, don't go to Kalutara. The ocean is constantly storming, the Hotel, as far as we are not pretentious people, we did not like it at all. There was a feeling that we were in an old Mexican inn)) This establishment is located in a natural village. There is nowhere to go there, and if you go for a walk, then a string of beggars will follow you. There are good places on the SR closer to the south. There the water is calm and clean, and the conditions are better. such as Hikudawa or Gale. Prices are higher than Russian ones. To eat in a restaurant they paid from $ 30 for two. Actually, it's your business. But we don't go there anymore. For the money that you spent, you could go to Phuket.

Thank you all for your replies, even the not-so-good ones. I realized that everything depends not on the hotel, but on ourselves. We get to the Sri Lankan New Year from April 13 to 14, and my husband's birthday is April 14 - we will try to squeeze out only the best from the rest - after all, there are more positive reviews about Sri Lanka. I'm going for summer! I'm going to summer! I'll bring warmth!

don't scare people!!
if you, of course, are used to relaxing in 5 * + in Turkey and Egypt, then you should not have bothered to go to Sri Lanka at all !!! IMHO!!!
Yes, the hotels on the SHL are not at the highest level! But if you are going to evaluate the hotel, then I repeat - do not go to the SHL at all!
As for the ocean - I won’t argue, at different times it behaves differently - you know there’s no one to blame! In November-December, we got into rather stormy water, but we managed to splash on the waves to the glory of all 6 days of our stay !!!
When I was last April in the south (Dikwella), it was a little calmer there, but again - you won’t be able to swim on your own)) The local guide said - those who want to swim - welcome to Trincomal - there are steeper bays than in the Maldives! But there is a higher price!
We went for a walk in the village (we are 4 girls), no one got along, people near whom they passed smiled, some started talking, the village suffered a tsunami a couple of years ago, one fisherman said that the only one out of 4 returned home, but he didn’t even go home ! Now he lives with his family in a temporary building, but at the same time he did not complain about life! but simply invited to catch. It was even a pity that we were not hungry and could not accept his invitation!

You are not eating for the summer, you are going to Paradise! Enjoy the ocean, even if it's rough. You can swim, but without the fanaticism of swimming for long distances, perfect sand, there is no muck in the ocean, be careful with the sun, take mosquito repellent, they will eat at night without warning. But you will have a deserted huge beach at your disposal. After dinner, life ends, there is no animation, but who needs it there? We were so tired of idleness and clean air, peace and quiet, that we slept like the dead. The TV was turned on once upon check-in, check if it works or not? Mobile in the safe-rest at 100%. This is my second time in Sri Lanka and I will be again. The resort of Trincomalee is great, there is complete calm, but it’s a bit boring there. And in November 2012, we rested at the Kosgoda resort, this is the southwestern coast, where the crazy ocean got 100% relaxation, the ocean is something, it turns like a meat grinder, but you need to be careful, but on this coast there are villages, you can go to city. The word king prawns at $ 10 per kg, what does it say? For 15 days they ate at least 10 kg. To get a positive from the rest, you need at least 15 days, a week is very, very short, you won’t have time to get into the taste, but you already need to go home.

What paradise??? If SHL is heaven, then I immediately go to hell! What are you!!! Paradise is the Maldives. Don't equate God's gift with scrambled eggs. The war has just ended on the SHL. And there was a tsunami recently. The economy is at the bottom of development. And the prices are higher than in Moscow.

Well, we are "cool" only Maldives !!!!! I am a paradise for many, and I also really liked it there and I am delighted with the rest and completely agree with Lipra. And what about BP? After the tsunami, only in the museum there is a reminder of the past, I drove all the coast!!! And the war was mainly in the north, even in Kandy it was quiet, but for their economy, to me as a tourist in general .... in Ukraine it is no better. And at the expense of your Maldives, you can also argue, since you can rest (PARADISE in your opinion) only on 3 islands. But I have never seen a more beautiful place than SIGIRIA. And let's not be harsh, let people firstly go positively, and secondly, they will come and let them unsubscribe!

By the way, at the expense of paradise, there is also Mauritius, I wonder what you say about the Maldives after. I will keep silent about the Dominican Republic. BUT I think the main thing in the rest is the mood and the company!

ru3duy what does the Maldives have to do with it? They don’t save on vacation. Good things don’t happen cheap. In Sri Lanka, you can live comfortably for a year for the money you spend in Moscow for a month, there are much more positive reviews than one of yours, it’s not clear which one

Talk less, work more. Look at your "excellent" hotel in my personal (photo). I can’t say anything about Sigiriya, it’s interesting. Even something like megaliths is present. But not more. He also wrote about frescoes. If we ignore that people will go there, then I think that Tai is much better and more interesting. Don't go to grandma either. In every way. I will keep silent about the Philippines and Vietnam))

Here is "wow, I asked people for advice." Well, I can’t change anything - I’m definitely going. I was in Egypt, Turkey, Israel in the Czech Republic, and I also experienced my native Ukrainian expanses, I think that we can handle Sri Lanka. Moreover, we are vegetarians, we are very interested in Vedic culture and have long wanted to touch its origins. On vacation, as in alcohol - degrees need to be increased. Let's start with Lanochka - and then the Maldives, the Philippines, etc. Yes, and I love warmth, and water +28 is for me. Yes, and most importantly - the combination of a warm ocean and interesting historical sites - this is my main criterion for choosing a vacation. And there is nothing special to see in the Maldives. Thank you all, have a nice holiday. We are not saving up money for a trip, so that later we can complain about a bad vacation, WE WILL SUCCESS EVERYTHING !!!!!

For the general development of the ShL, you need to visit, so as not to return there anymore!)))))))))))))) Type tick: I was there. And no more. Waste of money and time. My wife ShL called the country of the poor and the disabled. There are animals and those disabled people)) And no matter what the gentlemen from Ukraine say, I repeat once again: It's better in Thailand !!! And the fact that in Ukraine the economy is to hell ... well ... probacht))))

No need to goof on normal hotels, Mr. ru3duy, and then the rest will seem like paradise. And Ukraine with its citizens flies overcrowded planes and as many as we were there this year, Egypt and Thailand will envy. To each his own. Thailand is not bad, but it’s completely different forum. And we, with our economy, allow us to eat lobsters with lobsters and do not goof off throwing out $ 20-50 daily like you and your wife.
