We decided to go on a trip immediately within an hour, booked the most budget option with a more or less normal rating on a last-minute tour, without going into details. The most significant disadvantage, as it turned out, was the road from Colombo airport, which took 4.5 hours. Therefore, the advice is either to fly to Mattala airport, or it is best to take a private transfer to the hotel. The hotel is located in a quiet location, next to the beach. If the purpose of your trip is to travel, to see the country, if you, like us, love different holiday locations, different beaches, then this option is quite normal if you know some of the nuances and correctly balance price and quality. On the beach next to the hotel we got bored on the second day. Therefore, we took a tuk-tuk to the nearest beaches - Mirissa (excellent infrastructure, big waves, I recommend for active recreation), Talalla (on the contrary, a secluded beach, a huge sandy beach strip, a couple of beach cafes, there are also waves), Unawatuna (an excellent beach without large waves have good infrastructure, but it seemed to me very noisy and crowded) The biggest advantage of the hotel is the staff, they treat you like the most valuable guest, they try to please and solve any of your questions. Romal surrounded us with care from the very first day, helping us with almost everything. He organized a return transfer for us at a reasonable price, fulfilled our small requests (we constantly went to the supermarket, then to the beaches, then on excursions, recommended an inexpensive store with tea, we stocked up great there and it was inexpensive) The food at the hotel was quite tolerable, simpler breakfasts, dinners better. Dinners are not a buffet, there is a choice of 5 types of menu. The rooms are simple but clean, I liked the large balcony with the necessary furniture. I would also like to note the presence of a normal air conditioner and ceiling fan. There is a good swimming pool. The disadvantage for us was the distance from the supermarket and any shops. At the time of our stay, Russian tourists began to actively come, the main contingent of vacationers being Russians. The result is an excellent budget hotel, but it depends on what purpose you are traveling for and keep in mind the nuance regarding transfer from Colombo
