отель высокого уровня high level hotel

Despite the fact that the hotel is only six months old, in January 2018 it was 90% full. At the moment, this is the largest hotel of the global chain in Weligama, and most likely in the whole of Sri Lanka.
Meals: breakfasts are good - there are classic European dishes - muesli and cereals of about 7 types, pancakes, sausages, papaya, watermelon, coconut and beetroot juices, good pastries and croissants. There are also Sri Lankan and Asian spicy dishes. Coffee and tea are brought in teapots - unlike dinner, drinks, including fresh juices, are free at breakfast. The breakfast buffet is $16 per person.
Dinner - $24 per person Drinks are considered extra (for example, tea - $ 3) - it's good that you were warned about this. Dinner disappointed: rice, spaghetti with various sauces, a meager selection of vegetables and salads, several soups, no meat was found on the tables, perhaps it was quickly taken apart. There was a limited amount of seafood. Several types of delicious desserts. The chef comes to each table, wondering if the guests are satisfied with everything. Service is unobtrusive.

Rooms: modern design, solid wooden furniture, a panoramic window overlooking the ocean, a balcony, the window can be closed with electric shutters. Near the window is a cozy couch. All rooms with ocean view!
The bed is large, soft, but from the very first day we were embarrassed by a strange smell - as if seaweed was left next to the bed, or something was stale. Turned out it was the mattress and pillows. Apparently due to high humidity. Detail - but pretty spoiled the impression. We slept with an open balcony - the sound of the ocean plunges you into meditation and pacifies. But sometimes mosquitoes disturbed the idyll.
The bathroom has a complete set of bathing and cosmetic accessories: in addition to the usual bathrobe, slippers and shower gels, there are 2 toothbrushes, toothpaste, a shaving machine and a moisturizer, a mouthwash. The sets were replenished regularly. The room has both a shower and a bath.
Territory: well-groomed, compact, well thought out - there are two shallow pools, enough sun loungers and large wicker chairs, evening lighting, palm trees... however, there are no sun loungers and changing rooms on the beach itself.
Beach: very strong waves, no wonder Weligama is considered a paradise for surfers. A wide coastline, a lot of free space, but just swimming is problematic.
There is one more “but”: the hotel is in very contrast with the surrounding village: dilapidated houses, fishermen selling their catch right in front of the dusty roadway, the lack of normal restaurants that other villages in Sri Lanka are famous for, and the absence of any attractions in Weligama itself. This problem was solved by train trips to Galle and Hikkaduwa.
Conclusion: the hotel is only six months old, there is potential for growth, it would be nice to add the ability to book excursions (since the tourist infrastructure is not developed, compared, for example, with Hikkaduwa). So the main wish is to contribute to the development of the infrastructure of the village. Given that Marriott is the largest employer in the village, Weligama has a bright future.
