I chose a hotel for a very long time, looking for a CLEAN one first of all.I wanted something cozy and homely . The Arena Hotel fully met my expectations. Modern clean rooms, stunning river views, perfect cleaning (phone chargers were neatly folded, things scattered on the bed were folded). Comfortable mattresses, pillows. Everything is snow-white. The towels are soft and smell delicious. They brought water every day.
We always had enough breakfast, and even had a lot, eggs in any form, porridge, pancakes, toast, fresh and fruit.
We often ate at the hotel for lunch and dinner, you can find it cheaper, but everything was very comfortable at the hotel, tasty, clean, and most importantly, there were no problems with digestion all the time. Very tasty grilled shrimp. I ordered it 2 times. Great rice that can be eaten without anything, so delicious! There was not a single spicy dish ! Spices were brought separately and you can adjust the sharpness yourself.
The location is very convenient! Everything you need is nearby . You can walk, you can take a tuk-tuk for 100 rubles (Russian) to get back to the right place. There are also pizzerias and KFC where you can eat more economically. We didn 't even take excursions , there were enough interesting places nearby . The temple complex and the garden on the territory of the monastery. Very green, mystical in places, almost opposite the hotel.
The lighthouse, with its amazing view. The big Buddha of Kande Viharaya Temple, next to him an elephant that can be fed-incredible emotions, there is also a school of monks. We took fishing trips, river safaris, all right from our hotel.
About the beaches. A huge fat plus that the hotel has 2 beaches!!! We swam on the beach where they take us by boat for 5 minutes. It's chic, secluded, wide. When I first saw this desolate beauty, I even shed tears. Tourists pay to be taken to this beach, but we have it enabled by default. There are waves , but it would be boring without them , we would not get out of the ocean with a child . Where there are rocks, at the beginning of the beach, please do not swim , it is dangerous . You can get to the Buddhist monastery directly from the beach by a ladder. It has access to the cliff to the sea. The view is amazing.
The beach that can be reached on foot, about 7 minutes, seemed dirtier. There is a Maharaja's cafe, they ate there-it was delicious. Music in the evening , you can sit .
The pool is small, but since there are not many tourists there, there was no strain. You can swim in the evening .
I got everything I wanted. A clean hotel, good location, delicious food and a chic and most importantly a swimable beach.

In general, the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable for its level.
