In general, I liked everything, a good hotel.
Room: cleaned honestly every day (they were not deprived of anything except our sweets (once)), bed linen is changed every three days, towels are always fresh (gels, soap, shampoos - available), everything works (air conditioning, TV, light , safe, water, sewage), furniture and repairs are a bit shabby (not critical at all - the main thing is the ocean!! )
Food: at a high level, a large selection of everything, buffet, never been hungry, can not stand, but it is possible to get used to the needs.
Territory: beautiful (palm trees, trees, flowers, grass), well-groomed, swimming pools are clean and warm, security around the clock, locals do not enter the territory. The beach is clean, fine sand, the waves are high and dangerous (I do not recommend swimming during this period, we went to the beach where there are coral reefs, they dampen the waves. I recommend: Unawatuna, Mirisa, Wiligama, Hikaduva and others)

Transport: of course traveled by tuk-tuk (short distances for free - it was discussed with the guide (took him a trip around the country), the bus - it's still that color !! ! 5 UAH), tuk-tukers start from 500 rupees.
Fruit: tried many different things, but I liked pineapples and bananas (the price of a pineapple is from 150 to 250 rupees / kg, bananas are 100 rupees / kg), pineapples were taken home as a prize (7 full suitcases, no problems at customs), you need to take them because you can't deliver!
Seafood: Barracuda fish - dry, did not like, coral fish - very tasty, shrimp very large and tasty
Alcohol: tried the local Red Rum Calypso (2800 rupees per bottle, only sold in liquor stores) - I recommend, took 2 bottles home - at customs without problems, tasted local beer Lion - normal beer, volume 0.
6l (200 rupees, you can hand over a bottle of 20 rupees)
Textiles: cheap and high quality, on average UAH 200 for shorts, T-shirts, pants and more.
Climate: the temperature is always 30 degrees +/-, very high humidity (everything dries badly), the ocean is very very warm.
Excursions:
River safari on the lake 1.5-2 hours (3000 rupees / boat) in fact took 3.5 hours (Sammy Sammy 0094711904906), walked to the boat from the hotel, 15 minutes.
Excursion around the country: 2 days (140 dollars / person, nothing else paid). Elephant nursery (riding, swimming on elephants). Garden of spices. Sigiriya, Buddha Tooth Temple, Panorama Hotel (evening and breakfast). Tea plantations and a tea factory (the price of tea is normal (we took for ourselves, three packs of different varieties of 100g (3 * 100 = 300gr for 1500 rupees)), in supermarkets (took as a present) cheaper, but not so much. , the atmosphere of the train, the people ...Many waterfalls.
