The hotel staff is very attentive, friendly and. . .
Excursions began to be offered to us by a meeting guide, at exorbitant prices... after staying at the hotel for three days, we met a pleasant young man who works as a guide at the hotel, takes excursions in an air-conditioned car very inexpensively... here are the PRICES FOR THE CAR (3-4 seating): 1. ) Kandy (elephant riding, pineapple plantation, tea plantation, spice garden, botanical garden, Buddhist temple, Shlanki theater... on the way we stopped near beautiful places where they asked) - 50 dollars, entrance for tickets to the temple and the botanical garden, elephant riding was paid separately... 2. ) In the direction of Galle, Bentota beaches ((turtle farm, boat rafting, fish massage, photo with monkeys, crocodile, Buddhist temple, bentota beaches) - 60 dollars . and 3. ) Sigiriya and the Buddhist temple on the Dambula rock - 70-80 dollars. We arrived at the hotel at 9-10 pm. . . The guide is very attentive, polite and knows Russian.... The guide's name is Milan, if you go with him. . . hello from Tanya and Tamara.
I want to share my impressions of the Camelot beach 3 hotel.
In general, the hotel justifies its money. Most suitable for young people - the city itself is quite lively as for Sri Lanka, there is where to go - many inexpensive cafes where you can order a royal portion of seafood, lobsters, tiger prawns, and it will all be super-fresh and very tasty.
The rooms are clean, pretty, but everything is somehow shabby - door handles, sockets, furniture scratched in places. The hotel rooms are different. Do not settle for a room on the first floor - there will be no balcony, the room is not updated, everyone will walk past the windows. On the second - third floor there are normal rooms, and there are rooms with a view of the stupid roof of the dining room. You don't have to pay any money for the reception - just ask to change the room if it's unsuccessful. Then thank you with a tip.
The food is generally bad, but for the unpretentious fit. The food is monotonous and the choice is small. Although I am unpretentious in food, by the fifth breakfast I didn’t know at all what to put on my plate... Lunches and dinners are more edible, but still don’t expect lobsters and shrimp - the whole assortment is curry, sausages, beans, rice, several meat dishes and cold cuts.
But the hotel is quite fun, young people are resting, there is where to go.
The ocean is warm all year round, swimming in it is not dangerous. The color of the water in the ocean in that part of the island is not blue at all, but unclear green and the sand is not white, but dark yellow, but there are no stones in the water and the coast is gentle.
In general, the hotel is worth its price, the Maldives do not expect. It’s good for excursions, walking around the city, buzzing with your company...
There were three of us: husband, me and 6-year-old son. The tour included only breakfasts at the hotel, but there are many local inexpensive restaurants on both sides of the hotel. The service in them is very different, PEERA'S restaurant turned out to be on top.
In general, Sri Lanka is a paradise for lovers of eternal summer, pineapples and hot ocean!
