The hotel is 20 minutes from the ocean. But I went for turtle beach. It's two-storied, cozy, and not big. There is a nice pool in the center, there is a deep and shallow place. There are sun beds nearby.
There is a dining room where breakfast is served. I didn't take the breakfasts, but you can safely buy about 300 rubles (I was in February). There is also a kitchen where they can warm up and cook for you. The staff is nice and helpful.
The room is normal, there is a refrigerator and air conditioning. Toilet paper and soap, towels. In general, gel and shampoo can be bought in the supermarket, there are small bottles and inexpensive. It was quiet. There were no mosquitoes.
It is better to choose a hotel with a swimming pool, as there are waves.
It is better to go to the beach or drive further for cherapakhi. It's better to watch turtles in the morning, then there are more people after lunch. If you are unassuming, the hotel is suitable.
Very good location. It takes 5 minutes to walk to the center, the main road, and the same distance to the beach. Cafes nearby, shops nearby. Very nice clean swimming pool on site. The staff is friendly and helpful. Quiet, easy.
Recommendations:
Take a fumigator and mosquito spray, it may come in handy. You may need an adapter.
Currency exchange in the direction of turtle beach, the best was 29600, and everywhere 29000 for 100 dollars. Jewelers and souvenir shops are changing, they have it written in Russian.
Go to turtle beach, about 15 minutes to the left, you can't walk along the beach, you have to go on the way. They sell algae there for 300-500 rupees, which the turtles love, the turtles spend almost the whole day, but they come more at lunch. Feeding the turtles is unforgettable.
There are monkeys and parrots behind the hotel.
There is a colony of flying foxes and large monitor lizards on the neighboring klitsa, go and see, the locals live there, it's also interesting to see. Take candy to the children.
Go to Halle without a tour, by train, 2nd class, find out tickets and timetable at the ticket office, there is a station nearby, 10 minutes. Trains run regularly, they consult in Russian at the ticket office, 100 rupees, everything is clear.
The train travels fast, 20-30 minutes. There is a large fort on Galle, a beautiful old town built in the colonial style, there are many souvenirs and restaurants, in general, a free full-day tour.
We ate a lot of places, but after we ate at Red Lobster, in the direction of turtle beach, I don't want to go anywhere else, it's inexpensive and very tasty. Good service, large portions.
Sun beds on the beach are free, just order a drink at this cafe.
There is a fruit market nearby, pineapples can be cut, prices are normal.
And the fish market, they can also cook there, it turns out to be unusual and profitable. One fish of about 1,500 rupees comes out with cooking already. You can eat there or take it with you.
The hotel is well located, close to shops, cafes, market, beach. There's a lagoon here, and the waves are smaller.
The rooms are different, we are tired, there is a conder, a fan, a kettle, no TV.
The mixer is shaking, sometimes a cockroach will come in from the street.
But on the other hand, there are wonderful people, breakfasts and a clean pool.
