Is it worth it to go to this hotel and to the region itself on April 15-20?
Hello! Help me decide whether it is worth going to this region and the hotel, or will strong waves and rain interfere with your vacation? Or do not take risks and look for hotels in the northeast, where it seems like there is less rain during this period. And the waves aren't that strong? We are planning a tour now, I would like to find a good 3k or 4k at a nice price!

We were in this hotel for the new year, excerpts from my story for a travel agency: Hotel Tangerine Beach 4 * was built in the early 90s of the last century, survived the tsunami and reconstruction. Throughout our holiday, it seemed that the tsunami was last week.
1) Very old, worn and stained carpet of unknown origin.
2) Not the first freshness bedspreads on the beds and rather "tired" furniture.
3) The air conditioner is sewn into the ceiling in the dressing room, only the grill is visible, and judging by its work, which blocked the roar of the ocean with an open balcony, it is one of the first in the world to be decommissioned after testing for unsuitability. I will add that our air conditioner leaked one evening, flooded some of our things and shoes in the closet (it is in the same dressing room) with very smelly waters. The miraculous craftsmen called in repaired it for 40 minutes, swearing and connecting wet wires with their bare hands (the tool had not yet been invented in Sri Lanka at that time)
4) Above the bed there is a huge fan that tends to fall on your head during operation.
5) Bed linen - damp, grayish, in places interspersed with blood stains from the battle with mosquitoes, and maybe some other misfortune. Continued ...

6) Bath towels - well-worn and the Vietnam War, sometimes extremely dirty, but with a pleasant smell (here's a plus for you).
7) TV is a song! Especially on New Year's Eve. Not only is this not a panel, as we were promised when buying the tour, it is an old Panasonic, which, get ready, heats up for about five minutes before showing you the image. Muzkanal - Sri Lankan, from Russian - only RTR. Although Baskov and Galkin were provided for us on New Year's Eve, somehow their life was beaten when broadcast by this unit.
8) And last, but most important for women, a hair dryer. This word is difficult to call the item that hangs in the bathroom. A greasy, yellowish box, similar to a pay phone, in which, like a tube, a kind of hair dryer hangs. Year of release somewhere 60th. I saw these in the catalogs of clothes that my grandmother brought from India in 1964 (oh, then it was cool). Moreover, it is very difficult to keep this hair dryer running for more than one minute - it heats up to impossibility. Trying to style my hair for Christmas dinner, I got a slight burn on my palm, I even had to resort to Panthenol.

Item for Enthusiasts:
The very stay in Sri Lanka should set you in the right mood. Almost all disorder and dissatisfaction disappears when you have a good sleep and, using the tea and coffee set offered in the room, go out onto the balcony, breathe in the luxurious ocean air, be surprised by the height and beauty of the local palm trees, see chipmunks scurrying back and forth and imposingly pacing monitor lizards. The sun, air, heat and the ocean - that's why you came here. The only pity is that this thought comes two days later, after arrival. Hope it's not for everyone!
The ocean is the color of the Sea of u200bu200bAzov and very large waves, it is almost impossible to swim (((The pool on the territory of the hotel is very old and unkempt, flowers, crabs, cocktail tubes swim in it and the monitor lizard living in the hotel occasionally splashes))) amuses, and some are very sad, especially if there is something to compare.
Another minus is the great distance from all excursion routes, we never took the risk, because we were with a child, and the traffic is extremely active, we had enough trip from the airport (60 km = 2.5 hours) - miracles on bends.
If you are not in the country for the first time, then this will probably not surprise you, and we were, to put it mildly, shocked!

My friends stayed at this hotel and they were delighted. There are hotels in Sri Lanka much worse than this. No need to expect Turkish service from this country. This is a country of exotic nature. And if you go for the exotic and tune in to the positive, then you will succeed. We were in October, it rained every day in the morning, but they did not interfere. I advise you to take an excursion program for a few days first, as you will be far from the hotel.

More than once I wrote here on the Forum that ShL is a year-round direction (the constancy of the temperature of water and air on the coast).
Waves in the west of the island are also constant, maybe more than from January to March. However, like our winter with snow, it all depends on the vagaries of the weather.
The entrances to the water in the Kalutara area are quite gentle, so if you follow the rules of behavior near the water / in the water (entry into the water sideways, and not with your back or face, for example), you can splash and enjoy swimming.
