The hotel is simply amazing, a large number of animals on the territory, small monitor lizards, a crocodile behind a fence, monkeys, chameleons and even mouse deer)
I've traveled half the island, but I've only seen them at this hotel.
The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, but you have to get used to everyone coming up to you several times and asking if everything is okay.
The price tags for food in the restaurant are large, but you should understand that in the neighboring city of Trincomalee they are not lower, and taking into account that you need to get to them, it goes one on one.
$15-25 for lunch/dinner.
That is, for example, a soup of 12 bucks, small.
Or $19 rice, assorted sea products.
They cook very tasty, as well as possible.
I put 4 points for the fact that you need to get used to living creatures, even in rooms... And yes, there are cockroaches, but I can assure you, this is the best hotel! The treatment of livestock is done 1-2 times a day, but this is the price for living in the "jungle"))

We stayed at the hotel from February 15 to February 24, a married couple and an 8-year-old child. Contradictory impressions- one of the disadvantages is that everything is very expensive. We only had breakfast included, and we still managed to spend another $200 a day. I can't say that they didn't deny themselves anything. The alcohol was partially imported. A plate of 7 langoustines costs 20 dollars + 10% waiters' fee and 15% VAT to the price tag on the menu. In a word, it's expensive. Someone writes - "Moscow prices", it looks like these people and I go to different restaurants in Moscow. Prices are more expensive than in classic Moscow restaurants, and worse in price, taste, and serving style.
As a parent, I was also melted by the absence of other children, and that our child was friends only with us. But these complaints are certainly not about the hotel. The main contingent of vacationers are pensioners from Germany and other non-Russian-speaking countries! There were no Russians except us. The hotel staff does not speak Russian at all, but to our shame we do not speak English. Everything was translated through Google. The weather in February is +30, the sea is warm, but the flag on the sea is always yellow and red, you can swim, but the waves. The hotel is located in a quiet and secluded place, you swim in the ocean alone and there is no one else in the water. You go to the sunbed, and everything is free. It's the same at the pool, there are a lot of places, on each sunbed there are two towels-one on the sunbed, the second as a cushion under the backrest. Bar by the pool and on the beach. The service is specific, as written in previous reviews, the waiters are not in a hurry, these guys are not Turkey, no one is running here. You can wait 30 minutes for your order. There is live music at dinner in the evenings. Again, I've heard a more harmonious one, but let's not quibble, everything corresponds to the local mentality.
When buying tickets, I was guided by the fact that we would walk through a real jungle with the child, and that's what happened. They've seen everything from monitor lizards to monkeys.
The hotel staff is ready to do everything to make you feel comfortable. We can't say anything bad, the cleaning is regular, nothing is missing, even more than that, my chain broke (but the jewelry is beautiful) and I threw it into the bucket, returning from the beach, "smiled" that the chain was pulled out of the bucket and put back next to my other jewelry.
It also bothered me that when you walk, the staff who is sitting stands in front of you, and if you walk along the path, they will step aside and wait for you to pass, although the width of the path is 1.5 meters and it is possible to calmly disperse together. That's the attitude of vacationers here. It's too much for me, friends, sit still!
Initially, we lived in a room with access to the swamp. A room with a terrace overlooking this very swamp. How wonderful it is there, so many sounds of nature, someone is hooting, quacking, rustling-a fairy tale. I didn't even want to go to the ocean in the evenings. On my last day at the hotel, we moved to a room by the ocean. The room is bigger and more expensive, but the swamp is closer to me).
Unfortunately, I will not return to this hotel. I can't tell you why. Do I recommend visiting it? Definitely yes. For those who long for the sights of the wild, come here.
Once again, I bow low to all the staff and prosperity to the owner of the hotel!

A good four. Delicious breakfasts. Good staff. There are a lot of animals, especially in the rooms in the jungle. There are enough sun loungers on the beach for everyone. There are fewer seats in front of the pool. The beach is clean and convenient for entry. The only drawback is that the villas smell of humidity.
