This is the third time I have visited Sri Lanka, and compared to previous trips, I think I have chosen the best option. A great little hotel. Competent architecture, comfort for life. A rare quality for Sri Lanka - there are enough sun beds and pools for all residents. Beautiful clean sandy beach in front of the hotel. Well-trained, competent, very friendly staff. Daily cleaning with a change of linen. Excellent cuisine with a huge selection of both local and European dishes (which is very rare in those places) Excellent location - in the center of a tourist area with an abundance of shops and restaurants around. The price corresponds to the quality. I recommend
Gorgeous beach, grounds and pools. We thought there would be strong waves, but no, the sea was very warm and calm. That's all. The hotel has 2 buildings, old and new, they settled in the old one, everything in the room is covered with snot, the handles and latches are falling off, the furniture is old, the balcony door barely opens, and so on. But the most important thing is how they fool around in the bar!
Let's have lunch, the food is delicious, but adding another 30 percent to the already rather high prices is too much! As a result of lunch, we are offered to write down the amount on the number and happily bring our bill and some kind of left for a bottle of beer for 900 rupees. The amount is small, of course, but what the fuck? We signed only our own account, and categorically refused an outsider.
We had a night check-out and, as we sensed the booty, we went to the reception in advance to close the account, and bingo! We have been credited with another account for 2,800 rupees already! They blinked, pretended they didn't understand, and asked for payment. It's good that the bar was still open and we were able to demand to see this bill with a signature, but if we went to sort it out at one o'clock in the morning when the bartenders were gone?? !!
Ugh, it's so unpleasant, they tried to stab us twice in one day, and it was also so stupid.
In short, the whole impression was ruined.,
We returned today and spent several days at the hotel. You shouldn't expect much from this hotel, but there are also advantages - rich buffet breakfasts, everything is very clean, and the rooms are beautifully cleaned, and the pools are clean.
Among the disadvantages - the smell of mold (this is a problem for almost all hotels), strong humidity in the room (I read somewhere that they put dehumidifiers, there is no one here), nothing dries at all, the panties dried for 3 days))
And most importantly, do not take dinners at the restaurant if they are not included!
Expensive + they included 3 more points in the bill - tips, VAT, and something else, we did not understand. The check has doubled in size!
But right in front of the beautiful cafe ammehula, it's very tasty there!
