забыть и не вспоминать forget and forget

Having quite a lot of travel experience, they argued stupidity and went to Sri Lanka... Two families (four adults and two children) received a lot of negative impressions and hundreds of super photos. Everything is beautiful and interesting if you turn your back on the slums and garbage dumps, and they, alas , everywhere... After three days of wandering around the sights of the island (the intermediate hotels of the Amaya chain are quite decent), we finally "DESERVED" a vacation by the ocean...
About the hotel and without emotions: for 5 only plumbing, bedding and staff smiles. The audibility is fantastic, earplugs do not save: at the same time you listen to the roar of clunkers on the street and disco on the beach. In the middle of the night, in a rage, remembering the rich and powerful English, she went to pull out the wires at the beach disco...
Territory: a road, a building, two small pools - one in the sun - hot, the other in the shade - cooler, two or three rows of palm trees, sun loungers under them. Next is a dense wall of merchants, beggars. Behind them is a wide strip of beach and the OCEAN. They won’t let you lie on a sunbed and admire the ocean: Mister! Good price! You are rich, I am poor! Russian is known in the required quantity.

You can entertain yourself by riding a board on the waves of 5 euros and succumbing to the persuasion of the locals to go fishing. There are plenty of small fish, enough for lunch. Whoever went to the big one, everyone didn’t get lucky, well, it’s not there!
Meals at the hotel take place according to a clear scenario, it is on the table - sometimes a buffet, sometimes an order, or even a themed evening. without air conditioning, with fans and with torches fuming with kerosene... romance by the ocean seems to be if in the photo, but in fact it is very "for an amateur. " The kitchen is very "high" - there is nothing. They laughed for a long time at the "classic Greek salad" in a miniature pile served on a giant platter and decorated with a banana leaf bow. What a job to cut vegetables into the size of a match head! The kids ate pasta. . .
The kids club stated in the description is a games room 5 euros per hour. Thanks!
There is nothing worthy of attention around the hotel. Some sheds claiming to be BOUTIQUES.
If in doubt - Thailand or Sri Lanka - My advice to you is Thailand! We were there more than once and each time we found a lot of interesting things for ourselves. And the level of comfort and quality of tourist service is much higher.
