I had a rest in December 2024 for a couple of weeks (including Christmas). The hotel is quiet, cozy and clean. I liked the hotel: a good buffet, you could always find something delicious for yourself. The food is very spicy and not spicy: those who write that everything is sharp are wrong. For example, there is spicy rice with curry, and there is regular rice. And so it is in almost everything. Different types of meat, seafood, fruits, pastries, etc. Cocktails made from local alcohol (arrak) are simply great. They have a Christmas dinner on Christmas Day. Very pleasant staff: unobtrusive and always ready to help. The hotel is not crowded, pleasant, not crowded. It's strange that they say there aren't many Russians here.: there are quite a lot of them here (the Lankans themselves told me about it), they just don't recognize all of them, most likely. For example, I always spoke in English, and sometimes the Russian speakers nearby thought I didn't speak Russian. There is free water, coffee and tea in the rooms. There are local guides on the beach: if you want to go on an excursion, it will be cheaper for them. The rooms were cleaned every day and they did it well. If you leave the hotel and walk down the street, there is an excellent tea shop nearby (you can buy tea at home - the prices are quite affordable, better than in tourist areas). By the way, I was surprised by the security at the entrance to the hotel. There is also a pharmacy nearby (it helped when I got sick) and a supermarket. A calm monitor lizard is strolling around the territory. I've also read bad reviews about this hotel, which is kind of a lie in my opinion. If you like relaxing holidays and magnificent sunsets, go here)
If you're going to travel around the island, then the location probably isn't the best, although I did go on a few excursions.
A great, cozy hotel!There are few Russians , mostly foreigners !I'm glad I ended up here, and not in the neighboring Riu!the breakfasts and dinners are decent, I really enjoyed the Christmas dinner, the unrealistic variety of cheeses, seafood, meat and other things!
The staff is very polite, which makes me happy!the room was cleaned every day , there were no missing items .there was no safe with the star , the guide asked and everything was brought !I lived on the 1st floor, it's very convenient to go out on the terrace to admire nature and drink tea and coffee,water aerobics is sometimes held at the pool, a very fervent parnella animator did not let me get bored, they offer guided tours of the hotel,they sell clothes!She used a taxi and a guide named Burbot, speaks Russian well , treated her to coconut and a whole bag of fruit , went shopping with him, a turtle farm, bentota, in Galle, took her to beautiful locations and photographed herself, for which he was respected, also showed a good massage parlor.I was quite satisfied with the hotel.Thanks to all the staff for my vacation!
