I found a lot of photos of the hotel on my phone, maybe it will be useful to someone) We were there a year ago in January. Almost every other day, people came to the hotel to celebrate weddings, it was very interesting to watch. This is the lunch box they gave us when we left very early for an excursion, but we had to go and sign up. A sandwich, water, croissants, bananas, and an apple. We bought fruits, and a very friendly waiter washed and cut everything and brought it to us on a plate, he advised us if something was spoiled or unripe.

avatar

Did you order from the hotel menu?

avatar

We were taken by tuk-tuk to the shops and specifically for fruits, we bought a lot of them right away and enjoyed them every day. Many fruits we tried for the first time.

Could you please tell me how early you were leaving?) If the check-out is at 2:00 AM, should one expect a lunch box?)

avatar

We were supposed to check out around 3-4. I think they will issue it the same way, but please go and clarify, of course.

We ordered lunch boxes for the day of departure and picked them up right before leaving after breakfast. No one said anything :)

Yes. Everything will be issued. Both for the excursion and before departure. Just need to come to the reception in the evening during dinner.

Hello, we were there in November. About the food, everything is relative. We had breakfast/dinner. They really don't know how to cook European cuisine (the meat is tough, although the gravy is tasty). The pork was roasted, but it was bland in every sense. Yes, the tomatoes were like unripe ones. But in general, there is something to choose from. Regarding the beach. You can swim where the reef is, but the water is somewhat stagnant. We also had a tropical storm pass through. It became muddy. We went to the right, but there you can’t swim, just bob on the waves. There were waves. I think it’s better not to settle on the first floors. We sat with friends playing cards and saw a rat. The next day, they were running around poisoning something, either them or mosquitoes. Moreover, they didn't inform the tourists. And can you imagine the scene, we see some smoke coming from under the roof. What can you think? 🤔 I started to gather my basic things in the room, my son went to find out what it was... In general, it was "fun".... Slippers, bathrobes, everything needs to be requested. The cleaning in the rooms is also conditional.

In our deluxe room, there are slippers and bathrobes.

We have been here for three days. The clear chicken broth for breakfast saves us, without anything else) and eggs) By the way, there's also very tasty hash browns for breakfast. It's rare to find that in hotels. The rest is impossible to eat. The meat and chicken are dry and tough. The shrimp and fish are also quite questionable. The tomatoes are green. The fruits are not good. I don't understand these great reviews about this hotel and the food in particular. We went to the elephant yesterday. We had fish, octopus, and crab. Salads and seafood soup. We didn't like it either. The fresh passion fruit juice was tasty. In the coral reef cafe, my husband only tried the crab soup. Not bad. There are nice guys working there. We visited late in the evening. They organized wine for us. Even though they had run out of it. They went to the store or I don't know where 😂 and the wine is actually not bad. In the hotel, it's impossible to drink wine. The beer seems okay. By the way, the sugar-free cola is tasty. Tastier than in many countries. Regarding ALL INCLUSIVE. We came under this system. At check-in, we asked if the restaurants, besides the main one, were available to us without extra charge. They said no!!! We were surprised and asked again. They pointed to the fire restaurant, asking if we could go there for free, and they replied again, no! Yesterday my husband went to that restaurant late in the evening and asked if he could order pizza. They said to come back tomorrow, it’s free for you 🤣 My husband called the reception from the room and asked why this situation arose??? Why were we misled? The manager immediately ran to our room. He began to explain that we do indeed have access to the restaurants. Once a day ANY restaurant. Later, they brought us a complimentary fruit. So keep in mind, for those going under the all-inclusive system. I understand we are not the first ones they pulled this on 😂 We will go to the fire restaurant this evening. We will check if it’s free or not 🤣 and I hope it’s tasty. Because there are no more restaurants around. Also, there are a lot of mosquitoes here. In the evening, it’s impossible to sit by the pool or on the beach without spray. I got bitten all over on the first day. We specifically went to the pharmacy for lemongrass spray. It helps)

avatar

And how many restaurants are there on the premises? ❤️

avatar

3 restaurants and 3 bars. The manager at the hotel said. But we have not seen everything. We take everything at the Ice bar. Drinks and snacks (these are free for those with all-inclusive). By the way, the snacks are tasty) fries, shawarma, etc. The Fire restaurant is near us, we live in a deluxe. I like it here more than in the central building, so to speak. There’s a private pool. We have been swimming alone for the second day. It’s quiet and peaceful. But overall, it’s like that throughout the area. But it feels cozier here somehow.

avatar

Is the Deluxe a separate pool for certain rooms?

avatar

Yes, deluxe rooms are upgraded rooms. There are not many of them. And there is a private pool here.

Hello, how is the beach, the ocean?

avatar

The ocean, not really. But it depends on what you compare it with. Better than in Bali) but you can't really swim much. The reef truly protects from the waves. We go to the ocean and then immediately return to the pool. As I understand, everyone does the same. It's not very comfortable to lie on the beach.

We stayed at the Cinnamon Bey hotel from October 31 to November 8. The hotel is nice. But in our opinion, it is for retirees. We found it a bit boring in the evenings. So, we watched all the seasons of Lost. The rooms are simple, without frills. But everything worked. The cleaning was typical, towels were changed without problems. There was a hairdryer, kettle, tea, and coffee in the room. We requested disposable slippers and they brought them. There were no robes. I’m left wondering why there is a bath on the balcony. Apparently, it’s some local tradition. We had breakfasts and dinners. Everything was very tasty. There was a large selection. The fruits, especially pineapples and papayas, were excellent. Tea and coffee were served by the waiters in the morning, there were no coffee machines. There is a very wide selection of pastries and desserts. There was an evening of local desserts - we tasted them all. Quite unique... We had lunch at Coral Reef on the beach and also at the Elephant near the hotel. Well, I was not impressed at all by the beach's unsanitary conditions, even with the fresh seafood and fish. But that's my subjective opinion... the shrimp were tasty but we did not go back there again. We went on a river safari, a turtle farm, the Golden Buddha Temple, and our second excursion was to Galle Fort, with a stop at the tsunami museum along the way, we swam with turtles in Hikkaduwa, fed them, and on the way back, we visited tea, cinnamon, rubber, and rice plantations, and there was also a moonstone mine and an Ayurvedic shop. By the way, I liked the inhaler for a runny nose that we bought there. It’s really good, eucalyptus all the way to the brain, it makes the hair on your head start to move, it really helps with the runny nose.

We were there yesterday in the second half of the day. To be honest, not thrilled. Several hours of continuous shaking. Many peacocks, buffaloes, there were elephants and deer, a bit of monkeys, crocodiles in the distance. That's basically it. Periodically, there were up to 10 Jeeps in one place. Maybe it's better to go in the morning?

We had ceramic containers with dispensers (gel, shampoo, body cream). I can't comment on the quality, I always bring my own, there are also dental kits and shaving supplies, as well as a small flat washcloth. My husband said that the razor is good, despite being disposable. Bring cotton pads and swabs with you, there aren’t any. There is a hairdryer, iron, and board, at least there were in our room.

I think it goes like this: You have breakfast, go to the pool, and then you want to refresh yourself. You can wave to the bartender right from the pool (he will see you😁) and he will bring it to the edge for you. I've seen that. Or you can tell him your wishes, and he will deliver what you want to your sunbed on a tray👍 I've seen men approach the bar and place orders themselves. The bartenders also walk around and ask if you need anything.

The café in front of the main restaurant operates from 10:00, and on the lawn from 11:00. I can't help with the earlier time). From 11:00 to 12:00, you can buy alcohol; I can't help with earlier times, I haven't tried before 12:00).

We were there in November, did not take masks and did not regret it. The ocean was restless. Swimming with a mask at the reef by the hotel beach was unrealistic. According to other reviews, you won't see anything particularly bright in terms of marine life here. So decide for yourselves (we didn't want to carry extra luggage). I won't comment on other beaches, we weren't there.

Good afternoon. You cannot leave the hotel premises with a hotel towel; there are signs with warnings everywhere. I don't know how serious the ban is, there's a guard at the exit. There are many sun loungers on the hotel grounds, it's more convenient to sunbathe on them, and go to the ocean to swim. Please note, if you are absent from the sun lounger for a long time, you need to leave a personal item (I remember a similar case in Cyprus). If you only leave towels, after some time you may find that the towels have been taken and the loungers are free.

If you want to relax on the beach on the sand, it's better to take a mat with you. The guys who hand out towels ask not to lay them on the sand.

The buffet is luxurious, with dozens of different beautifully decorated dishes, but often it's unclear what they are. We took oysters and other shellfish, but they were somewhat shriveled and we couldn't find any lemon. A lot was grilled, and it had a very unpleasant smell. There were hundreds of desserts, but out of five cups, nothing was edible, it was just bad, only the strawberries were slightly sour. As a result, we ended up eating sandwiches with boiled pork, which were given out piece by piece, and cheese with lettuce leaves. We bought alcohol, regular champagne for about 5000 rubles. The music was so loud that it was impossible to communicate at all. Formally - everything was great, but we left hungry, with a headache and disappointed that it wasn't even possible to say and hear a toast properly. At 00:15, all the food disappeared from the restaurant. I didn't enjoy this international New Year. Now I only want to celebrate decently in Russia. We spent a week before the New Year in the center of the island and 4 days in the hotel, and luckily the weather was good, overall - it was interesting, but a year ago the Maldives with much higher service levels were 20% cheaper than Sri Lanka. That's how it is.

Not great. There were seafood, but everything was "dry" and tasteless. Alcohol is available for an additional charge. The show was also mediocre; how the voting for the beauty contestants was conducted remains a mystery. Not worth the money that was paid for it.

We had dinner around the hotel perimeter, mainly at Elephant, it was very tasty. Many types of shrimp, grilled octopus, tuna steak, and other fish. Lamb, pork in honey sauce, etc.

We haven't tried it, but probably you can order from the menu, it's better to check with those who are there now. + there is a direct restaurant, but the hosts told us it would be $100 for dinner ) In the cafe, lunch or dinner for two without alcohol cost us 3,000 rubles (9-10,000 rupees). That's a couple of simple dishes and juice )

I was told dinner would be $100 a day for three without alcohol + $600 for the New Year's dinner. I paid for the New Year's dinner, but I didn't go for the $100 a day, as it seems you can easily eat for $50-60 for three with alcohol.

To the left of the hotel beach. Coral Reef Cafe. The last one among three. Normal people. The chef is the best of the beach ones. Soups are just right. The fish too. You can bring your own fish, they will cook it. 1500 rub/kg.

Nearby, at the exit from the hotel (from the main entrance), there is a café Elephant, or on the beach side Coral Reefs. I paid between 10,000 to 16,000 rupees for three people (with alcohol and dessert for women and children). Note that when ordering from the “Grill” section, a salad and French fries are included. The portions are large)

European cuisine is not prepared very well. The meat is tough, although the sauce for it is tasty. The potatoes are bland. The roasted pork is also beautifully presented, but bland. I would say there is more food of theirs than European.

I brought it with me. I bought it at an ordinary market in Russia. The only thing I would recommend is to get ones with thick soles, because if you step on a hedgehog or scratch yourself on a thorn, the wounds take longer to heal due to moisture. I always wear them.

1. Where to go in the evenings, is there a place near the hotel just to take a walk? 2. Which cafes/restaurants to visit? Maybe there are photos of the menu? I'm trying to find menu photos on Google Maps - the latest is from the end of 2022 (the cafe might not even exist anymore and prices could have risen). 3. Do they accept cards everywhere in the hotel (I have foreign Visa and Mastercard) and are there any additional commissions for card payments or cash withdrawals (for example, like in Thailand)?

Hello) 1. There is almost nowhere to walk around the hotel. There are some cafes, but we were afraid to go in there, maybe due to unsanitary conditions, etc. You can walk to the market, local shops, and a store that sells precious stones. 2. We structured our vacation in such a way that we actively go somewhere, either on excursions or on our own. We only come to the hotel to eat and sleep. The food here is really good, there is enough of everything. We wanted to go to a seafood restaurant, but there are so many seafood options in the hotel that we keep postponing the trip in the end. 3. We only use cash - dollars, rupees, but I bought sapphires, and there you can actually transfer to Tinkoff if you run out of money or don’t have cash. But this is only what I encountered with the stones. In the market, they only accepted cash for fruits. I don't know about the rest. I also haven't had to withdraw cash because you can transfer to Tinkoff for many things, even for local excursions, you just send it to the card directly)

Strangers are not allowed on the territory. Security monitors the perimeter. I also left everything in the garden on the sunbed, went to the ocean, and nothing was lost.

I have never been to Asia on an "All Inclusive" plan or even on a full board. In Asia (Vietnam/Thailand/China), I enjoyed visiting different restaurants with various cuisines. Is a paid hotel Asian dinner more similar to the dinners in Turkish/Egyptian hotels, or is it akin to A La Carte restaurants? (a variety of seafood - squid/mussels/shrimps/several types of meat and fish) with local alcoholic beverages?

Andrey
2024-10-03T00:55:44+03:00

Probably didn't understand the question. I have already booked the hotel with a BB system, but my travel agent is suggesting to pay extra for additional meals (I have to use the services of a travel agent because there are no options available on aggregator sites for my dates). When visiting Asian countries, I always followed the rule - breakfast at the hotel, lunch and dinner at local cafes and restaurants. But judging by Google maps, there might be issues with that. If the purchased lunch/dinner is equivalent to local cafes and restaurants (seafood, local fruits, delicious salads made for me, and local alcohol) - that's fine. If it's like in Turkey with a buffet: chopped salads (leftover from lunch or from yesterday) and something that only looks like meat and fish with no seafood, then I'm not interested. I want to clarify with travelers how the meals for half-board and full-board are arranged at this hotel?

Buffet is like everywhere. In the mornings, eggs are prepared separately: either fried eggs or scrambled eggs. Waffles and pancakes are baked. There is a table for vegans, gluten-free dishes, and a separate section for spicy food. For dinner, there are shrimp, calamari, crab (for some reason I always see only claws). Delicious pastries. In the evening, ice cream. Drinks during dinner are served through the waiter. Tea, coffee, water. There are à la carte restaurants with a menu. I haven't been to those either.

I don't know. You see for yourself. I don't have the opportunity to go out somewhere every day. Breakfast and dinner are enough for me. The difference in the tour price between breakfast and breakfast-dinner was not significant. There are no particular delights in the hotel. Just like everywhere else.

This beach is more like a pond (it is completely surrounded by a reef, and there are no waves, it's very shallow, and the water doesn't circulate very well). There are always boats and many locals. A little to the right, there is a nice beach. To the left, there are also beaches, but the water there is always muddy due to the sand (plus, you have to consider that a river flows into it).

In the hotel, a glass of wine costs 1900 rupees, a bottle of champagne costs 17000 rupees. In the city, at the liquor store, red rum is 5500 rupees, Martini Prosecco champagne is 6300 rupees. It is more advantageous to buy at duty-free.
