Мои впечатления и вся правда о поездке My impressions and the whole truth about the trip

Flight "AirArab" through Sharjah.
1) Boryspil Sharjah Colombo, the flight took a total of 9 and a half hours plus a change in Sharjah (enter the dutik only in the large hall !!!!! ). Regarding the weight of luggage - 1 luggage for two 32 kg or 2 luggage for 20 kg. This is a matter of principle for the carrier company, so pay special attention to this, or you will have to pay extra for extra weight about $ 20 per kg, and when you bring souvenirs, tea and all sorts of things as a keepsake, then at least it's a shame if not to say more, on the way back half of the luggage we had hand luggage. At check-in, they don’t pay attention to your arguments))), they act in accordance with the rules of the airline. Airplane food for cash.
2) FOOD:

Food - we only took breakfasts in an assortment of so-so (every morning scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs, bacon, chicken sausages, tea, coffee, fruit), breakfast from 7-30 to 9-30, it is advisable to be at 8-00 as they sort out food very quickly and they bring it very slowly (at the entrance to the restaurant they are forced to leave bags so that nothing is taken out of the food)
Lunch - we took 3 sticks of sausage with beer, fruits, ice cream, cookies, yogurts bought in the supermarket, there was a kettle, coffee, tea, cream, sugar, mini bar in the room.
Dinner in bars outside the hotel on average 30 dollars. for two.
Were in the bars Sea Shell, (seafood and chicken), Sea View (seafood, chicken, meat), preference was given to the latter - chef Domenik
Alcohol was bought in a special market in the city, beer Leon 0.6 glass 130 rupees, 0.5 tin 140 rupees, red rum 1180 rupees, coconut whiskey 1180 rupees. You can sit in the bars with your own alcohol, it is forbidden in the hotel.
3) HOTEL
Accommodation - lived in the usual standards, although they paid for the deluxe, they did not find out who threw it. The hotel is a solid three, but there are nuances. On the beach, you need to borrow sunbeds early before breakfast, mattresses and towels are free
The rooms are cleaned twice a day, but you need to follow the renewal of hygiene items, sometimes they forget that you need shampoo and a towel. The hotel area is well-groomed, green, looks decent. Chipmunks live on the territory, crows behind the extreme building on the left in the mango thickets live two monitor lizards, sometimes they bring elephants and on the beach Beach-boys bring a boa constrictor, a cobra and a monkey for photographs. The photo costs $5.
The ocean is just amazing! It is possible to ride on the board cost 5 dollars. per hour, and if you find Nuvan (he speaks Russian well), then it will be more impressions and for free. If you ride on the board yourself, then you need to be careful as there are whirlpools. We swam even at night, on the beach we tried to catch a sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ crabs with local natives.

We rested with a company and my friend had an incident with tourists from a neighboring room (RUSSIANS), they kept half of the hotel awake all night, calls to the reception did not change anything (the natives really got frostbitten), and when he asked them to calm down, a quarrel began as a result of RUSSIANS there were victims and a friend in the police. It all ended with compensation of 1250 dollars, but it could have been different if the aborigines had provided order.
4) EXCURSIONS - took excursions from local Antonio and Otto, all trips to the city were on their tuk tuk (300-400 rupees per flight). We went to Kandy 8 people for 65 dollars. , an elephant nursery, a botanical garden, monkeys, tea plantations, a tea factory (bought BOP and OP 90.950 rupees kg), a workshop for making products and souvenirs from local varieties of wood, a jewelry factory. We went to Bentota, riding on the river, mangrove forest, Buddha temple, turtle farm, bought fruits, it turned out cheaper. Antonio and Otto include all expenses in the cost of excursions (entrance fees, transport costs, and other little things except food), local guides simply receive money from you and silently drive, so I recommend asking about everything that interests you. If you want to spend time like us (to see everything and learn about everything), then I recommend them.
BEWARE Dylan
This bastard fools tourists. I confirm everything that horoshayai wrote 100%, even after I held him by the ear and promised to bury him on the beach, he still tried to molest his wife, after that he was treated like a moron. Tried to sell stones at a supposedly very low price, cheated on the bill for dinner, dilutes freshies with water, this monkey lives on the left when entering the beach in the first bar in the photo below.
Bottom line: The ocean is super, nature is supet, the hotel is so-so. People - be careful when meeting.
