A wonderful location, a view from the window directly onto the ocean, under the sound of the waves, it is pleasant to fall asleep and wake up! Slightly shabby, but spacious rooms, customer-oriented staff. We got more than we expected!
A cozy, peaceful place. No noise, no fuss. A soulful little hotel. A smiling, friendly hostess, ready to provide all possible assistance in case of any problems. Name is Sue. The rooms are spacious with spacious terraces and views of the ocean, sunset (magic). To the railway station Wadduwa (Wadduwa) 40 minutes on foot, by tuk-tuk of course faster. From the station you can get to Colombo, it will take about an hour, the ticket price is 80 rupees one way (23 ₽ approximately) only 3rd class. There is another Pinwatta station in a 10-minute walk towards Colombo, but not all trains stop there. In general, go, everything will be fine!
We stayed at this hotel from March 14th to 24th. A great place for a relaxing family vacation. Magnificent view from the window! All rooms at this hotel have a view from the window.
Helpful staff. In general, the locals are very friendly.
We arrived at about one o'clock in the afternoon, we were immediately
checked in. The room is large, everything you need is there.
The ocean is here with waves, the water is warm, I didn't want to go out. There are no sea urchins and bright fish here, so you don't have to take snorkeling masks. For fish, we took an excursion from our beach boy in Hikkaduwa. This is where the big sea turtles swim. The tour is interesting, especially for children.
Alcohol is expensive in this hotel. We really liked Sri Lankan beer Lion 8,8.
But for example, in a nearby hotel, Laya, in a kind of 5 stars, this beer is cheaper than in ours. In general, we always had dinner there.
In general, the alcohol market is within walking distance. You need to go to the main road and turn right. Walk from one pedestrian crossing to another. There's a large selection of alcohol at their usual prices. The doors are thrown open to tourists there, while locals are queuing on the street.
We went to the market for fruits on a tuk tuk for 1 dollar (300 rupees) from the beach boy. There is $2 at the reception.
We also went for souvenirs by tuk-tuk. There are none within walking distance.
This hotel is not quiet on weekends. We understood that the locals rent tables to celebrate their holidays. By the way, it is also interesting to look at other people's traditions.
In general, we are satisfied with the rest, we have only positive impressions.
