We were in February 2015. The hotel is a good 3. Unobtrusive service, room cleaning is done on request, but with high quality. Every wish is tried to be fulfilled. Clean pool and hotel grounds. Delicious food but limited selection. Fresh fruit every breakfast. Furniture, of course, old, but normal. Air conditioner in the room.

The beach is 50 meters across the railway road. The beach is deserted but clean.
Local Susil (Silva) constantly hangs out near the hotel and very intrusively offers to go on excursions with him. Don't fall for the price, which is a couple of dollars lower than others.
Silva is a real scammer. He cheated us out of 5000 rupees!
Took the money and disappeared! !

I arrived, I went alone, on 14.12 at 5.00 there was no one, at least take everything out. For about 20 minutes, together with the accompanying person, we were looking for hotel workers, We found and settled in. Nobody prepares the room for the arrival of guests. I say -ECONOMY! On the street + 30, and in the room there is mold on the pillows.

- there are few minuses, almost none - wi-fi on the first floor (this is for those who cannot live without it), in the evening it is empty, no bar, no restaurant, which in the photo - so a party for that kind of money was not offered. If you want to jump, you will find it. There are no Russian channels on TV, yes. At 50 m outside your windows, old and new trains are screaming, the beach is dirty and all the time they try to divorce you or take you somewhere, so you either have to make a face and they won’t stick, or go on a more interesting excursion and you won’t hear anything.
- pluses. Everything else - live, rest, rejoice, eat, drink. than on a bungee in the mountains), take an air-conditioned bus or a train and it’s faster and cheaper. At the same time, in some 5 * you will not be allowed into the pool or to the ocean after 22.00, but here it’s stuffy in the room at 3.25 put on swimming trunks, and you can go swimming, wipe yourself off and sleep. The beauty!

We rested at the hotel for only a week, bought a last-minute tour, so there was simply no time to choose a hotel. And we are very glad that we got to this hotel. The hotel is old, but very clean, nice and helpful staff, spacious rooms. If you dream of a relaxing holiday, delicious food, warm ocean and beautiful nature - then this is the hotel for you.

The hotel is old, but very clean, nice and helpful staff, spacious rooms. If you dream of a relaxing holiday, delicious food, warm ocean and beautiful nature - then this is the hotel for you. It has everything you need to truly take a break from the noisy city, relax, eat delicious food and just admire nature and the ocean. It is here that you can "feel" the ocean and its infinity.
Near the hotel there is a train stop and you can go very cheaply to many different beaches, visit the zoo, Colombo and even get to the elephant nursery yourself : )
Convenient location and home comfort of the hotel will make your stay pleasant and unforgettable. I will miss everyone so much! ! Thank you all for such a relaxing time!! !

The first thing that surprised me when I arrived in the country was the high humidity and the very large number of locals, because the area of the country is approximately similar to the Kharkiv region with a population of 20 million! PEOPLE: very friendly, there were a couple of cases that wanted to fool around a bit, but you have to have your head on your shoulders.

PEOPLE: very friendly, there were a couple of cases that wanted to fool around a bit, but you have to have your head on your shoulders. Most locals think that all white people are very rich - apparently, the locals have such a desire. When children see the locals go crazy, I advise you to grab some candy-lollipops - you will give people happiness! 80% of people greet and say something : )
HOTEL: the area is gorgeous, like a botanical garden. The facade is a bit shabby - not restored after the tsunami. The room is very large, cool furniture, wooden. The repair is a bit lame. Be prepared that towels can be stained and with holes. But we were not bothered at all, because the towels were clean.
STAFF: polite, almost everyone knows English!
We drove around the hotel and waved small handles after us!
OCEAN: all the time raging, it feels like the ocean, the tides are not noticed, from the hotel to go a maximum of 5 minutes, crossing the railway.
EXCURSIONS: traveled independently
-Colombo (interesting to wander);
-Halle (I advise everyone as an independent trip, because it's easy to get to the track and there you can walk around the fort at least all day, and if you take some information from home, it's cool, there is a beach)
-Matara + Dondra (in Matara the fort is a little smaller than Halle, in Dondra you can climb the lighthouse with a gorgeous view)
-Kalutara (Just saw another city)
-Hikkaduwa (cool beach with clear water)
We went with the hotel guide Dominic: Kandy-Dambula-Nuwara-Elia-Sigiriya. The program itself was interesting, but due to poor organization we did not like it, for example, the city of Kandy did not see only in the Temple of the Tooth Buddha, although they said that we do not want it and want all day in the Botanical Garden.
There were still plans for Polonaruva, Anuradhapura, Trinkomali, but they didn't have time for an hour!
The country is very interesting, a lot of ways to travel (train, bus, tuk-tuk), everywhere interesting, a lot of fruit!
I would go again to some other coast!
Separately, I would like to greet everyone who was with us at the hotel: adventure lovers Tanya and Denis from Kiev, orchid lover Natasha from Chernivtsi, funny mother Svetlana and her daughter, interesting Valerie and Natasha from Kiev!
