Каникулы на Шри -Ланке Holidays in Sri Lanka

We were a family with two children aged 4 and 9.
Despite the popular belief that this is a place to relax without children, ours were very pleased.
We flew on spring break, from snowy Kyiv for the summer, the sun, the warm ocean.
We flew with landing for refueling in Dubai.
4.5 hours to Dubai, 1h. It took 4.5 hours to refuel. to Colombo. Our fears about the flight (for children) were not confirmed. In my opinion, the flight was even easier for them, they mostly slept and watched cartoons a little more, so everything is ok.
At the airport they changed money and bought a SIM card for a mobile phone.
From Colombo to the hotel we got about 3 hours. Moving around the country is just the biggest minus - driving style, roads... It's indescribable.

We arrived at the hotel when it was already dark, we were immediately taken to the rooms, but because we had 2 rooms, and we wanted them to be close, we were offered 1 room on the first floor, and the second on the 2nd floor. We were not satisfied with this and the next. day, having paid the difference, we moved to Deluxe rooms, in one bungalow 500 and 501 rooms overlooking the pool.
The feature of the hotel is that it has its own Ayurvedic center. Mostly people come there for this, but we came just to relax.
The hotels have two restaurants, one on the beach, and the second indoors, with air conditioning. We agreed that we would eat at an Ayurvedic restaurant on the beach (it was more convenient for us), although there is more varied food in the restaurant for vacationers. In the beach, mostly vegetables, fruits, fish, everything is seasoned with curry...
If you want meat, this is not the place for you. : )
The rooms were cleaned every day, linen and towels were changed, mosquito prophylaxis was done in the evening. The staff is very welcoming and friendly.
The hotel grounds are well maintained and clean. The beach is free, it is simply fenced off by a fence, sun loungers under palm trees, they were always free. Many birds and animals (chipmunks, lizards, monitor lizards, crabs, monkeys). The ocean was amazing, jumping on the waves is a pleasure. The pool is clean, there are few people. all in treatment. There is simply no difference in air and water temperatures.
In the evenings there was sometimes animation (for a group of tourists from Israel), of course, no one is forbidden to enter, but the hotel itself does not have this.
Once we had to use the services of a doctor for a child, under our insurance. All is well. The doctor came to us himself, with medicines. (the main thing is to clearly understand the procedure if necessary)
We went on excursions with the whipboy Danu. A good boy, speaks a little Russian. We went to Kandy (Temple of the Tooth, Botanical Garden) and to the elephant orphanage. Another time we went with him on a boat trip along the river, spice garden, where we had a massage
We bought fruits, water in our own village, and for lobsters and lobsters and other shops we went to Kalutara 20 km. On the tuk tuk.
