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.

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)

We went, yes, for free. Out of all the options, this is the most worthy place) We left them 1000. They were happy. I sent a photo of the menu to those who are interested)

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 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 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.

I was thinking I would explode today, the towels during the cleaning are not changed, they are wet. I want them on the hook, not on the floor. The soap has run out and that’s that. The whole cleaning consists of sweeping the floor and making the bed. 🙈😁 and no dollars or chocolates help👍

Arrived at the hotel by 4 PM, check-in was quick, they gave us an upgraded room at no extra charge and didn't even ask for tips. Here, all rooms indeed face the ocean one way or another. On the first floors, the balconies lead directly to the garden, but many have mentioned that it's especially humid there. The local staff, when handing us the keys, said we had the highest floor (2 formal, conditionally - 3: g is the ground floor where the restaurant and pool are, 1 and 2 are residential). In the evening, it rained; from the hotel's infrastructure, I can only evaluate dinner so far. Delicious. Chicken, lamb, shrimp, fish, and crabs, vegetables, herbs, rice, many national spicy dishes, desserts, ice cream, fruits (there were pineapple, papaya, watermelon, guava). Regarding drinks, the system surprised us; the check was not brought right away, we checked our room number) but here, of course, no one is immune to the intentional dishonesty of other guests… The ocean is like milk, yes - it's not like in the Caribbean pool, but I wouldn’t compare it to Sochi either, at least due to the presence of a sandy beach and the absence of a crowd. Because of the breakwater, the water is calmer and accessible for swimming, but that's the price for its azure hue. On our way to the hotel, we saw the power of the ocean; the beaches are beautiful but not suitable for swimming - you could just get injured by a wave! The rooms and amenities are definitely not 5-star, everything is outdated, mirrors are dirty, something creaks. The walls are clean, no pests, the room is spacious, outlets are suitable for any type of devices (no need to carry adapters). Upon request, they brought a board and an iron immediately upon check-in. By tonight, I can share impressions of a full and, hopefully, sunny day)

🔴BAD REVIEW ABOUT THE HOTEL Cinnamon Bey in Beruwela 🔹1. We were at the hotel from November 8 to 18, 2024. Room 227. 🔹2. The pillows had mold (due to moisture). We noticed it, took photos, and went to the reception. With frightened eyes seeing that we had taken photos, they asked us to change them. They brought 2 new pillows, one of which had mold. We asked again. They then brought a normal one. 🔹3. The towels were not changed for 3 days. At first, we asked the staff, zero reaction. We went to the reception - zero reaction, "yes yes yes" but there were no towels. On the 4th day, they replaced them. 🔹4. The rooms were a bit worn out due to moisture, the ceiling and walls were damp. The air conditioner was dealing with it poorly. 🔹5. At the bar, they charged us for a beer we didn't order because we don't drink alcohol at all. They provided a receipt with a signature, and it was NOT my husband's signature, we said "here's our signature, this is not ours" showing our passport. They didn't care. The transfer bus was delayed because of this, and in the end, we had to pay. It's common in hotels that you pay the boy at the bar, and he disappears. Many get scammed this way. We couldn't prove anything about the charge; they just stressed us out right before the bus. Although the evening before leaving, I went to the reception and asked to check all bills, etc. I said we were leaving early in the morning, and she said "all okay," and we rushed into the bus with this receipt. In short, it was a hassle. 🔹6. The beach is bad, honestly. We live in Sochi, and the hotel beach looks like a city beach in Sochi. The water is not clear, murky, and the reef makes the water cloudy. Those who are happy about the pool near the reef for kids - well, it's stagnant, yes, there are no waves. But there's also no freshness in the water. If you go right, two sewer rivers flow out, so I barely jumped over them with a split. Left seemed normal. But the water is not turquoise; it’s like the Black Sea. We took a tuk-tuk for 10 minutes to Bentota Beach. It was great there, clear turquoise water, beautiful stones. And we also went to Hikkaduwa beach. 🔹7. The beach boys near the hotel when you go to the beach are awful. If you’re not a supporter of being approached for services you don’t need as soon as you step beyond the fence - you will be disappointed. You cannot walk to the ocean peacefully or come back from it. Someone will always be talking to you. 🔹8. The beach boys' scam - they see you for the first time and speak in 3 languages (English, Russian, German), if you respond in your language - they immediately assess your price range and understand how to manipulate you further. They might approach you saying "there's a jellyfish," and you say "yes, thank you," and it all takes off from there. I walked around with a stone face all the time and never talked to them, but that didn’t help either. Out of 10 days on the hotel beach, we swam for 3 days, the rest we went to other beaches. We left Sochi to not have to return to the Sochi beach. 🔹9. A guy who has lived on the island for 5 years said that many beaches in Beruwela ARE unsuitable for swimming. 🔹10. Markup on fruits and white skin. This is the worst memory from the trip. The situation is this - in Mirissa and Hikkaduwa there are many tourists and fruit stalls, if you don’t like the prices in one stall, you go to another. But in Beruwela, there are a couple of stalls and they charge exorbitant prices. We bought a basket of fruits to take home for 6,000 rubles. Fruits over 10 days cost us more than 20,000 rubles. It's just crazy. Dragon fruit in Mirissa costs 3,000 rupees per kg, in Beruwela 6,000 rupees per kg. There is no option to buy cheaper. We bought fruits in Mirissa when we went there. 🔹11. The tourist cloak. A white shirt with a hood - the price on you is x3. In Beruwela, the tourist cloak is 10/10. People don’t even suspect that the price changes not only due to skin color but also clothing. 🔹12. The fruits in the hotel are not as tasty and sweet as at the market. 🔹In our feeling, the hotel is not 5*, but 3 or 4 with a very strong stretch. Another downside of the vacation in Bentota/Beruwela. ➡️ At hotels, local drivers always wait, looking for their tourist victims. And if you try to call a driver from Uber or Pick me, he either won't come and will drop the order, or you’ll have problems. There have been cases where these honest workers were beaten by local taxi drivers. In general, I wouldn’t want to witness such fights. The local tuk-tuk driver even told us that Pick me doesn't work in Bentota at all. It's a mafia, everything is in the hands of local drivers. Above, I'll send a photo. The beaches. Look for yourself at the water color. Everything is clear. In Hikkaduwa near the reef, there are many beautiful fish. In Beruwela, there are few beautiful fish near the reef. Different signatures on the checks became no excuse for explanations. We paid for Coke, and they charged us for beer. No one cares. They understand English poorly. We do not recommend the hotel, nor Beruwela/Bentota. Conclusions - the positives of the hotel did not outweigh the negatives. I read reviews, forums, etc. for 3 weeks before the trip. And that turned out to be insufficient; you need to read even more. Everything I read about the hotel BEFORE I thought "well, it coincided," "someone was unlucky," but in reality, it turned out just as it is.

The local tuk-tuk driver even told us that Pick me doesn't work in Bentota at all. It's a mafia, everything is in the hands of local drivers. Above, I'll send a photo. The beaches. Look for yourself at the water color. Everything is clear. In Hikkaduwa near the reef, there are many beautiful fish. In Beruwela, there are few beautiful fish near the reef. Different signatures on the checks became no excuse for explanations. We paid for Coke, and they charged us for beer. No one cares. They understand English poorly. We do not recommend the hotel, nor Beruwela/Bentota. Conclusions - the positives of the hotel did not outweigh the negatives. I read reviews, forums, etc. for 3 weeks before the trip.

🔴BAD REVIEW ABOUT THE HOTEL Cinnamon Bey in Beruwela 🔹1. We were at the hotel from November 8 to 18, 2024. Room 227. 🔹2. The pillows had mold (due to moisture). We noticed it, took photos, and went to the reception. With frightened eyes seeing that we had taken photos, they asked us to change them. They brought 2 new pillows, one of which had mold. We asked again. They then brought a normal one. 🔹3. The towels were not changed for 3 days. At first, we asked the staff, zero reaction. We went to the reception - zero reaction, "yes yes yes" but there were no towels. On the 4th day, they replaced them. 🔹4. The rooms were a bit worn out due to moisture, the ceiling and walls were damp. The air conditioner was dealing with it poorly. 🔹5. At the bar, they charged us for a beer we didn't order because we don't drink alcohol at all. They provided a receipt with a signature, and it was NOT my husband's signature, we said "here's our signature, this is not ours" showing our passport. They didn't care. The transfer bus was delayed because of this, and in the end, we had to pay. It's common in hotels that you pay the boy at the bar, and he disappears. Many get scammed this way. We couldn't prove anything about the charge; they just stressed us out right before the bus. Although the evening before leaving, I went to the reception and asked to check all bills, etc. I said we were leaving early in the morning, and she said "all okay," and we rushed into the bus with this receipt. In short, it was a hassle. 🔹6. The beach is bad, honestly. We live in Sochi, and the hotel beach looks like a city beach in Sochi. The water is not clear, murky, and the reef makes the water cloudy. Those who are happy about the pool near the reef for kids - well, it's stagnant, yes, there are no waves. But there's also no freshness in the water. If you go right, two sewer rivers flow out, so I barely jumped over them with a split. Left seemed normal. But the water is not turquoise; it’s like the Black Sea. We took a tuk-tuk for 10 minutes to Bentota Beach. It was great there, clear turquoise water, beautiful stones. And we also went to Hikkaduwa beach. 🔹7. The beach boys near the hotel when you go to the beach are awful. If you’re not a supporter of being approached for services you don’t need as soon as you step beyond the fence - you will be disappointed. You cannot walk to the ocean peacefully or come back from it. Someone will always be talking to you. 🔹8. The beach boys' scam - they see you for the first time and speak in 3 languages (English, Russian, German), if you respond in your language - they immediately assess your price range and understand how to manipulate you further. They might approach you saying "there's a jellyfish," and you say "yes, thank you," and it all takes off from there. I walked around with a stone face all the time and never talked to them, but that didn’t help either. Out of 10 days on the hotel beach, we swam for 3 days, the rest we went to other beaches. We left Sochi to not have to return to the Sochi beach. 🔹9. A guy who has lived on the island for 5 years said that many beaches in Beruwela ARE unsuitable for swimming. 🔹10. Markup on fruits and white skin. This is the worst memory from the trip. The situation is this - in Mirissa and Hikkaduwa there are many tourists and fruit stalls, if you don’t like the prices in one stall, you go to another. But in Beruwela, there are a couple of stalls and they charge exorbitant prices. We bought a basket of fruits to take home for 6,000 rubles. Fruits over 10 days cost us more than 20,000 rubles. It's just crazy. Dragon fruit in Mirissa costs 3,000 rupees per kg, in Beruwela 6,000 rupees per kg. There is no option to buy cheaper. We bought fruits in Mirissa when we went there. 🔹11. The tourist cloak. A white shirt with a hood - the price on you is x3. In Beruwela, the tourist cloak is 10/10. People don’t even suspect that the price changes not only due to skin color but also clothing. 🔹12.

If you go right, two sewer rivers flow out, so I barely jumped over them with a split. Left seemed normal. But the water is not turquoise; it’s like the Black Sea. We took a tuk-tuk for 10 minutes to Bentota Beach. It was great there, clear turquoise water, beautiful stones. And we also went to Hikkaduwa beach. 🔹7. The beach boys near the hotel when you go to the beach are awful. If you’re not a supporter of being approached for services you don’t need as soon as you step beyond the fence - you will be disappointed. You cannot walk to the ocean peacefully or come back from it. Someone will always be talking to you. 🔹8. The beach boys' scam - they see you for the first time and speak in 3 languages (English, Russian, German), if you respond in your language - they immediately assess your price range and understand how to manipulate you further. They might approach you saying "there's a jellyfish," and you say "yes, thank you," and it all takes off from there. I walked around with a stone face all the time and never talked to them, but that didn’t help either. Out of 10 days on the hotel beach, we swam for 3 days, the rest we went to other beaches. We left Sochi to not have to return to the Sochi beach. 🔹9. A guy who has lived on the island for 5 years said that many beaches in Beruwela ARE unsuitable for swimming. 🔹10. Markup on fruits and white skin. This is the worst memory from the trip. The situation is this - in Mirissa and Hikkaduwa there are many tourists and fruit stalls, if you don’t like the prices in one stall, you go to another. But in Beruwela, there are a couple of stalls and they charge exorbitant prices. We bought a basket of fruits to take home for 6,000 rubles. Fruits over 10 days cost us more than 20,000 rubles. It's just crazy. Dragon fruit in Mirissa costs 3,000 rupees per kg, in Beruwela 6,000 rupees per kg. There is no option to buy cheaper. We bought fruits in Mirissa when we went there. 🔹11. The tourist cloak. A white shirt with a hood - the price on you is x3. In Beruwela, the tourist cloak is 10/10. People don’t even suspect that the price changes not only due to skin color but also clothing. 🔹12. The fruits in the hotel are not as tasty and sweet as at the market. 🔹In our feeling, the hotel is not 5*, but 3 or 4 with a very strong stretch. Another downside of the vacation in Bentota/Beruwela. ➡️ At hotels, local drivers always wait, looking for their tourist victims. And if you try to call a driver from Uber or Pick me, he either won't come and will drop the order, or you’ll have problems. There have been cases where these honest workers were beaten by local taxi drivers. In general, I wouldn’t want to witness such fights. The local tuk-tuk driver even told us that Pick me doesn't work in Bentota at all. It's a mafia, everything is in the hands of local drivers. Above, I'll send a photo. The beaches. Look for yourself at the water color. Everything is clear. In Hikkaduwa near the reef, there are many beautiful fish. In Beruwela, there are few beautiful fish near the reef. Different signatures on the checks became no excuse for explanations. We paid for Coke, and they charged us for beer. No one cares. They understand English poorly. We do not recommend the hotel, nor Beruwela/Bentota. Conclusions - the positives of the hotel did not outweigh the negatives. I read reviews, forums, etc. for 3 weeks before the trip. And that turned out to be insufficient; you need to read even more. Everything I read about the hotel BEFORE I thought "well, it coincided," "someone was unlucky," but in reality, it turned out just as it is.

🔴BAD REVIEW ABOUT THE HOTEL Cinnamon Bey in Beruwela 🔹1. We were at the hotel from November 8 to 18, 2024. Room 227. 🔹2. The pillows had mold (due to moisture). We noticed it, took photos, and went to the reception. With frightened eyes seeing that we had taken photos, they asked us to change them. They brought 2 new pillows, one of which had mold. We asked again. They then brought a normal one. 🔹3. The towels were not changed for 3 days. At first, we asked the staff, zero reaction. We went to the reception - zero reaction, "yes yes yes" but there were no towels. On the 4th day, they replaced them. 🔹4. The rooms were a bit worn out due to moisture, the ceiling and walls were damp. The air conditioner was dealing with it poorly. 🔹5. At the bar, they charged us for a beer we didn't order because we don't drink alcohol at all. They provided a receipt with a signature, and it was NOT my husband's signature, we said "here's our signature, this is not ours" showing our passport. They didn't care. The transfer bus was delayed because of this, and in the end, we had to pay. It's common in hotels that you pay the boy at the bar, and he disappears. Many get scammed this way. We couldn't prove anything about the charge; they just stressed us out right before the bus. Although the evening before leaving, I went to the reception and asked to check all bills, etc. I said we were leaving early in the morning, and she said "all okay," and we rushed into the bus with this receipt.

Different signatures on the checks became no excuse for explanations. We paid for Coke, and they charged us for beer. No one cares. They understand English poorly. We do not recommend the hotel, nor Beruwela/Bentota. Conclusions - the positives of the hotel did not outweigh the negatives. I read reviews, forums, etc. for 3 weeks before the trip. And that turned out to be insufficient; you need to read even more. Everything I read about the hotel BEFORE I thought "well, it coincided," "someone was unlucky," but in reality, it turned out just as it is.

I like the hotel, but I understood when I came that this is not Turkey/Egypt. The hotel is tired, but the room has everything, it is clean, and we got a room with an ocean view without any extra charges. The territory is green, and there is a good beach (you can jump in the waves or swim without waves). Mosquitoes are not biting so far, which is good)) My husband is just in shock after Rexos 😂 But I came for exotic, the ocean, and fruits)) Yes, and I really liked the pool - big and warm. If you don't look too closely, everything is okay) The view from the room is amazing.

This was our first time in Sri Lanka. We liked the hotel, the food was to everyone's taste, the room cleaning was good, and we also liked the location. We traveled a lot, went on a 2-day trip inland to the Golden Buddha, to Galle Port, to the lighthouse, fed turtles, had massages, and enjoyed sunsets on the beaches not far from the hotel. 10 days flew by very quickly.

We had a standard superior room. Room 206 on the 2nd floor. You step out of the room and immediately see the restaurant on the 1st floor and the children's pool. During breakfast, lunch, and dinner, there is the clanking and noise of plates. It might be useful for someone, but there was such a moment in the hotel. I don't speak English, maybe someone was told what could be used at the hotel, but not me. I had breakfast and dinner included, and at the end of the second week, on the way to the restaurant for dinner, a staff member approached me and suggested dining at the Fire restaurant, which for some reason was free on that day. The food there is from the menu: pasta, Caesar salad, pizzas, etc.

We were at the hotel in March, we really liked everything. The territory is small and pleasant. The staff is very responsive, there was always a good variety of food. The tour from Biblio Globus, upon check-in at the reception we were told that our reservation at this hotel was only for 4 nights. Our tour operator did not resolve our issue, and in the end, we were moved to the neighboring hotel The Palms. The difference is significant, the food is a level lower, more local cuisine, the pool is mediocre, and the staff seemed tired. We are flying to Cinnamon Bey in November already with Anex tour, hoping not to encounter overbooking again.

Good day everyone! It seems that not many tourists choose this hotel, which is a pity. Great rooms, nice territory) We arrived today, flew from BiblioGlobus with Aeroflot - a direct flight from Moscow. Huge airplane, we checked in for the flight online) didn’t apply for a visa, went straight to passport control. We exchanged a little dollars at the airport. Definitely recommend!! Hotel, rooms, service, food, staff - everything was great 🔥 The only "BUT" for me in Sri Lanka is the ocean. I love swimming, but here either there are big waves that you jump in (I love it, but in moderation), or a shallow "pool" due to the reef in front of the hotel)) The rooms are nice!! I really liked them 👍 the "bathroom/toilet areas" are beautifully designed.

Today we arrived from Unawatuna. The first impression is that it is poorer and more expensive than in Aralia! But the ocean is amazing! The waves are so strong that it's scary to watch. People swim in the lagoon. So far everything is great, except for the prices. Everything is much more expensive than in Unawatuna. I hope the views of the ocean and the sky are worth it.

We didn't notice a lot of people on the beach except for locals; there's nobody else around, only our group is enjoying the pool 🥵, and Chinese tourists come out at sunset 🇨🇳... It seemed like there were quite a few of them. Today, we could even swim in the ocean 🌊. The weather is nice, no rain.... but that doesn't stop us from enjoying our vacation 🏝️. This is our first time in Sri Lanka, didn't see any jellyfish in the ocean 😆, visited the island off-season, it's a bit stormy, the water is not that gentle turquoise color.... but if it's not raining, you can still swim, as there's a little cove (go left). There's a lighthouse nearby, a very beautiful spot. We met a local guide; they work as a pair with Chanaka, our guy is named Sunny, a very pleasant young man, speaks Russian well, he advised us not to visit the lighthouse off-season. 👌. Overall, there's quite a few people at the hotel today, hardly seen during the day, everyone comes out in the evening as the sun sets 🌞. We don't bother each other... The staff doesn't speak Russian, they communicate in English. Everyone is very friendly. To be honest, the hotel positions itself as a 5-star, but I would lower the rating. As for food, we have Breakfast + Dinner. You can find something to eat that's not spicy 🌶️. We swim every day. We have breakfast and dinner. Lunch is more like snacks, saw a working cafe not far away. If you walk towards the ocean, go left until the end of the beach, there's a cafe there. Honestly, in this heat, you don't feel like eating much, so we bought fruits in the city. There are also pastries. Trust me, you won't go hungry.

We're staying at the hotel from 17.04, there were a couple of rainstorms at night, a beautiful sight. We opted for the all-inclusive meal plan and it was a winning choice. It includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, all alcohol is free from 11 a.m. until midnight; after that, it's paid. You can have ice cream for free on the premises, for other dining options it costs 800 rupees. You can also visit the à la carte seafood restaurant for free. Several times our compatriots were treated to alcohol by those who didn't have the all-inclusive meal plan. When you order something, they bring you a check, the payment is added to your room, and upon checkout, you settle the bill. They bring me a check at the end of the order indicating 0.00, I sign and that's it 😂. Very convenient. Friends who didn't opt for the all-inclusive concept regretted it multiple times, there are cafes on the beach, but you have to constantly search for something to eat and drink. Here there are 2 bars, both complimentary, at the main one, you can also order snacks, salads, and french fries for free during the day. We went on a 2-day excursion with the local guide Chanaka. He takes only 4 people, no more. It could be a challenge to find another couple if there are only two of you. The price is $185, from the tour operator it's $165, but Chanaka will accommodate you in a chalet with a direct view of the waterfall on the first evening, and for this price, he will take incredible photos. 😉 In the video - in the morning, from 6:00, there is a strong low tide, the ocean in the bay is calm, swimming is a delight!)

We're staying at the hotel from 17.04, there were a couple of rainstorms at night, a beautiful sight. We opted for the all-inclusive meal plan and it was a winning choice. It includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, all alcohol is free from 11 a.m. until midnight; after that, it's paid. You can have ice cream for free on the premises, for other dining options it costs 800 rupees. You can also visit the à la carte seafood restaurant for free.

We chose all-inclusive. Not once regretted it. Breakfast, lunch, dinner - magnificent. You can also order for free at the pool bar during the day until midnight. A small selection of food is also complimentary. We met a couple, they had breakfasts and dinners. They said the alcohol was very expensive. They regretted not choosing all-inclusive. Payment on-site is much more expensive than through the tour operator. The hotel is luxurious!!! There is something to compare it with. In reviews it may seem small, but in reality, it's huge. Warm ocean, warm pool. We are with kids: 13 years old and 1 year old. Very cool!!!

The hotel is protected by a reef. If you leave the hotel grounds, there are no waves at all, if you go to the right, there will be small waves, if you go to the left (about 7 minutes), there are strong waves there. Attached is a video review of room 117 Superior (the simplest one). Before taking this room, we looked at a sea view room on the third floor (with an extra charge of $100 for the entire stay). It is exactly the same, but the ocean is right next to the window, we chose not to take it, it will be very humid. We looked at a room on the second floor (208), during the rain (on the day of our arrival) the corridor was flooded with rain, we just walked into the room through a large puddle, also this room, although it has windows overlooking the garden, the door leads to the restaurant, and there are such smells 😬 In the end, we took a room on the first floor with a terrace and a garden exit. Immediately ask for 2 keys on a keychain, you can quickly go out from the balcony and close the door to the terrace, very convenient. In the room: ironing board, iron, hairdryer (asked for, given without any problems), shower gel, shampoo + conditioner (washed hair a couple of times, did not fall out), body lotion, shaving kit, loofah, soap, shower caps, toothbrushes (poor quality) and toothpaste. All towels were large, only a small one for the feet. Air conditioner, ceiling fan. There are geckos, small ones. They crawl, dig in the roots, and look for food. Correction. This is a Sri Lankan iguana.

Immediately ask for 2 keys on a keychain, you can quickly go out from the balcony and close the door to the terrace, very convenient. In the room: ironing board, iron, hairdryer (asked for, given without any problems), shower gel, shampoo + conditioner (washed hair a couple of times, did not fall out), body lotion, shaving kit, loofah, soap, shower caps, toothbrushes (poor quality) and toothpaste. All towels were large, only a small one for the feet. Air conditioner, ceiling fan. There are geckos, small ones. They crawl, dig in the roots, and look for food. Correction. This is a Sri Lankan iguana.

The hotel rooms are definitely tired, and the tiles in some places are cracked and worn. The rooms only differ in view. At first, they settled us so far away, overlooking a burnt structure, it was 5 in the morning, so we didn't have the strength to argue, they said to come back during the day for a move. And during the day, they immediately offered to move to a room with a beautiful view for $200, these are Rooms 301-320. We did not regret it, the sunsets here are stunning!

We chose this hotel because of the reef, stayed at the end of February with a five-year-old child. Yes, we liked it. It was impossible to get the child out of the ocean😊. Thank God everything turned out well for us. We were checked in right away, on the first floor.

Hello everyone, we arrived with a long delay (transit), in the UAE there was a downpour, the flight was delayed (air arabia unfortunately did not wait), had to stay in Sharjah. In the end, we arrived only by dinner. Nevertheless, here. The hotel is excellent, we checked in on March 11, tired of choosing rooms. A beautiful place, everyone is friendly, dinner is wonderful, "they say mango is not in season", so we didn't try the local papaya 😋 Plenty of vitamins, the lobsters were excellent. The humidity is like in a steam room, be prepared to sweat 😄 In the photos and videos, sketches from the hotel 😄 And now there are places both on the beach and in the restaurant, no problems. The beach is great, just need to consider the tides. Moreover, there is a place to go, catering to every taste. Here everyone is so attentive, they will bring ear sticks in 5 seconds. Hairdryer, adapter, just call.

Watch the movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel before your trip. To know what to expect from Asia)) It's nice here, you just need to know how to overlook the shortcomings. Take a bag of raw peanuts with you. You won't find them here, and squirrels demand tribute)) Bring wet and paper napkins, there are none in the hotel restaurant. Relaxing with a child, I always carry them in my bag, constantly wiping ice cream. Bring toothpicks or floss, they are not available here. The sun is very active even through the clouds, pantenol and SPF50 are a must, no less. The room has a kettle, cups, glasses, a hairdryer, and an ironing board, which is surprising. You don't need to bring them. There are laundry services. They bring us a two-liter bottle of water every day. Don't drink anything from the minibar, everything is chargeable. Ask the roomboy to empty the minibar and that's it.

Regarding chipmunks, I will disappoint you a little) They are actually palm squirrels and they are not fans of peanuts) They asked to make sure they are only fed fresh cedar nuts from Russia)) they would indeed sell their soul for those and will faithfully guard your sunbed))))

The first impressions are good! There are a lot of tourists, we were given a quiet room on the first floor with a view of the ocean. I want to share my impressions of the hotel - overall, it met all my expectations, I was aware of the nuances and there were no disappointments. We checked in yesterday after a sightseeing program, we were checked in quite quickly, our room was on the first floor in the right wing of the main building, facing the ocean, it is very quiet and peaceful here. As we know, the hotel and rooms are not new, but accordingly to the Sri Lankan network, they are done in a local style, everything is clean and quite comfortable. The grounds are large and green, with plenty of sun loungers, mattresses, and towels. There is security, no one else besides tourists on the premises. In the main building, there is a bar, restaurant, and a pool nearby. The beach is also very close, and like everywhere else, it is a public beach. The beach exceeded my expectations, it is protected by a natural coral reef, making it very comfortable to swim without strong waves, the water is clean and clear. There are two bays, to the right there is a rocky shore, to the left you can walk along the ocean to the river. The beach here has large yellow coral sand, to the left there is finer light sand, a wide strip, a gentle entrance, but stronger waves. The neighboring hotels, The Palm and Occidental, did not impress me as much, their beach is wider, there is litter, more beach vendors and dogs, closer to the river, the water is murkier. The service at the hotel is good, in an unhurried Asian manner, but they respond promptly to all requests. When checking in, we asked for an iron and ironing board, they brought it right away, in the restaurant they clean up promptly and offer drinks, the interesting thing is that even with all-inclusive, they give you a bill to sign for drinks with a zero cost. In terms of food, it is good - without frills, but with sufficient variety, there is European, spicy local, Indian cuisine, seafood, fish, vegetables, and a small amount of fruit. There are many tourists in the hotel, from different countries, but it is noticeable only in the restaurant and by the pool. In the evening, there is pleasant live music in the lobby mainly in English. I cannot say that the internet in the hotel is good. I also want to share my impressions of the trip to the neighboring island with a lighthouse. Near the hotel, there are local guys with boats, we went with Chili - very caring, treated us with coconuts, suggested locations for photos, and took pictures of us 👍 I recommend going, it's close, there is a working lighthouse, just as good as in Galle, and the nature is like in the Seychelles, you can even snorkel if desired). On weekends, there were a lot of locals on the beach, on those days you can go on excursions...Regarding the beaches, there is a choice - there are several bays near the hotel, the reef certainly protects, you can say there are no waves...And to the right, to the left, everyone will find their own spot. And today I swam with a mask near the hotel - there are small and big, colorful fish, and I saw a large turtle, right near the shore. In the photo is the menu in the bar for all-inclusive. We had an early check-out, ordered lunch boxes, at 5 in the morning they were handed out - everything was packed in branded boxes, fresh delicious tuna sandwiches, pastries, fruits, juice, water 👍.

As we know, the hotel and rooms are not new, but accordingly to the Sri Lankan network, they are done in a local style, everything is clean and quite comfortable. The grounds are large and green, with plenty of sun loungers, mattresses, and towels. There is security, no one else besides tourists on the premises. In the main building, there is a bar, restaurant, and a pool nearby. The beach is also very close, and like everywhere else, it is a public beach. The beach exceeded my expectations, it is protected by a natural coral reef, making it very comfortable to swim without strong waves, the water is clean and clear. There are two bays, to the right there is a rocky shore, to the left you can walk along the ocean to the river. The beach here has large yellow coral sand, to the left there is finer light sand, a wide strip, a gentle entrance, but stronger waves. The neighboring hotels, The Palm and Occidental, did not impress me as much, their beach is wider, there is litter, more beach vendors and dogs, closer to the river, the water is murkier. The service at the hotel is good, in an unhurried Asian manner, but they respond promptly to all requests. When checking in, we asked for an iron and ironing board, they brought it right away, in the restaurant they clean up promptly and offer drinks, the interesting thing is that even with all-inclusive, they give you a bill to sign for drinks with a zero cost. In terms of food, it is good - without frills, but with sufficient variety, there is European, spicy local, Indian cuisine, seafood, fish, vegetables, and a small amount of fruit. There are many tourists in the hotel, from different countries, but it is noticeable only in the restaurant and by the pool. In the evening, there is pleasant live music in the lobby mainly in English. I cannot say that the internet in the hotel is good. I also want to share my impressions of the trip to the neighboring island with a lighthouse. Near the hotel, there are local guys with boats, we went with Chili - very caring, treated us with coconuts, suggested locations for photos, and took pictures of us 👍 I recommend going, it's close, there is a working lighthouse, just as good as in Galle, and the nature is like in the Seychelles, you can even snorkel if desired). On weekends, there were a lot of locals on the beach, on those days you can go on excursions...Regarding the beaches, there is a choice - there are several bays near the hotel, the reef certainly protects, you can say there are no waves...And to the right, to the left, everyone will find their own spot. And today I swam with a mask near the hotel - there are small and big, colorful fish, and I saw a large turtle, right near the shore. In the photo is the menu in the bar for all-inclusive. We had an early check-out, ordered lunch boxes, at 5 in the morning they were handed out - everything was packed in branded boxes, fresh delicious tuna sandwiches, pastries, fruits, juice, water 👍.

The grounds are large and green, with plenty of sun loungers, mattresses, and towels. There is security, no one else besides tourists on the premises. In the main building, there is a bar, restaurant, and a pool nearby. The beach is also very close, and like everywhere else, it is a public beach. The beach exceeded my expectations, it is protected by a natural coral reef, making it very comfortable to swim without strong waves, the water is clean and clear. There are two bays, to the right there is a rocky shore, to the left you can walk along the ocean to the river. The beach here has large yellow coral sand, to the left there is finer light sand, a wide strip, a gentle entrance, but stronger waves. The neighboring hotels, The Palm and Occidental, did not impress me as much, their beach is wider, there is litter, more beach vendors and dogs, closer to the river, the water is murkier. The service at the hotel is good, in an unhurried Asian manner, but they respond promptly to all requests. When checking in, we asked for an iron and ironing board, they brought it right away, in the restaurant they clean up promptly and offer drinks, the interesting thing is that even with all-inclusive, they give you a bill to sign for drinks with a zero cost. In terms of food, it is good - without frills, but with sufficient variety, there is European, spicy local, Indian cuisine, seafood, fish, vegetables, and a small amount of fruit. There are many tourists in the hotel, from different countries, but it is noticeable only in the restaurant and by the pool. In the evening, there is pleasant live music in the lobby mainly in English. I cannot say that the internet in the hotel is good. I also want to share my impressions of the trip to the neighboring island with a lighthouse. Near the hotel, there are local guys with boats, we went with Chili - very caring, treated us with coconuts, suggested locations for photos, and took pictures of us 👍 I recommend going, it's close, there is a working lighthouse, just as good as in Galle, and the nature is like in the Seychelles, you can even snorkel if desired). On weekends, there were a lot of locals on the beach, on those days you can go on excursions...Regarding the beaches, there is a choice - there are several bays near the hotel, the reef certainly protects, you can say there are no waves...And to the right, to the left, everyone will find their own spot. And today I swam with a mask near the hotel - there are small and big, colorful fish, and I saw a large turtle, right near the shore. In the photo is the menu in the bar for all-inclusive. We had an early check-out, ordered lunch boxes, at 5 in the morning they were handed out - everything was packed in branded boxes, fresh delicious tuna sandwiches, pastries, fruits, juice, water 👍.

The first impressions are good! There are a lot of tourists, we were given a quiet room on the first floor with a view of the ocean. I want to share my impressions of the hotel - overall, it met all my expectations, I was aware of the nuances and there were no disappointments.

Hello. We are on our second day at the hotel. There are no insects in the room on the second floor. The food is diverse, buffet-style. The staff is friendly. The ocean is as calm as milk. There is a beach for children to swim, but there is also a more turbulent one as the reef closes it off. It is peaceful and pleasant here. It is clean. The room is cleaned every day. The bedsheets are pleasant and white, and there are dry towels. Initially, it felt a bit damp, but you get used to it and it's fine. There are no unpleasant smells. Breakfast and dinner are included in our package. Surprisingly, we don't feel hungry during the day. The cuisine is diverse and filled with local delicacies. We have fruits both in the morning and evening: watermelon, papaya, pineapple, and others. Initially, we were offered a room with an ocean view (later we found out it also had a pool view) for $100, but thankfully we declined as it gets noisy in the evenings. There is music playing from speakers. There was live music as well. Today there were performances.

We returned two days ago. The hotel is decent, the food is also good. The rooms are not new. Cleaning is so-so. If you don't pay attention to the small things, everything is fine. 😄 The staff 🤦🏻♀️. They try to deceive. Be careful. When paying, make sure to take a receipt. By the way, they charged us an extra $100 for an ocean view.

I have been on vacation for a week. Everything is fine. I am satisfied with the cleanliness of the ocean. Before that, I spent two days in Kalutara. I didn't notice any difference in the cleanliness of the water in the ocean. But the fact that there are no waves and you can swim normally and see fish on the reef, that's true. Low tide is before lunch, high tide is after lunch. The water rises about 50 centimeters. The photo shows the beach during low tide. There, it seems to me, the entire coastline is filled with hotels. There are also three restaurants on the beach to the left. We had lunch at the Coral Reef three times. The pina colada and the food were very tasty. Lunch for two cost about 7200 rupees, and if you add a first course, a second course, a cocktail, and coffee, it would be 12600 rupees. We liked it. The rooms are spacious, all with an ocean view and cool. I didn't understand why they were cool. We hardly ever turned on the air conditioner. The furniture and plumbing are good. The cleaning is of high quality. There was no hairdryer in the room, we asked for one and they brought it. The food is delicious and diverse. The territory is not very big.

I didn't regret at all that I chose this hotel 🌅

We stayed here with our son from August 20, 2023 to August 28, 2023. We arrived during the rainy season, but there was hardly any rain. It only dripped a couple of times at night, otherwise it was mostly dry. We really liked the hotel! The rooms were a bit tired, but the bed linen was clean without any strange smells, and the towels were changed every day. They provided us with soap and toiletries (we gave small tips). They brought us a hairdryer upon request, which turned out to be in one of the drawers and we didn't notice. The food seemed very good to us, and we were satisfied with everything. We chose to have breakfast and dinner, skipping lunch. For lunch, we ate fruit in the heat, which we bought in town on a tuk-tuk ride. Our local guide, Chanaka, drove us around and also took us on excursions. The hotel doesn't serve mangoes, but we bought sweet mangoes and passion fruits in the city, which were inexpensive. The hotel served delicious papayas for breakfast and dinner, along with tasty desserts! For breakfast, we had our usual food: milk porridge for our child, omelettes/fried eggs, cereal with milk, sausages, salad, toast, and pastries. They also served bacon, beans, and traditional English omelettes. There was a lot of Asian food as well! The waitstaff brought juices, coffee, teas, and water. For dinner, there were always delicious shrimp, lamb/chicken meat, occasionally they baked a large fish, shish kebabs, and meatballs. And many other dishes. You certainly won't go hungry here. Since there was no "all-inclusive" option, I bought wine by the glass. They brought 3-liter bottles of drinking water to our room each day, and if you needed more, you could always ask for it. I personally really liked the beach. I'm not a great swimmer, so I prefer to just laze around and swim nearby. The water was very clean, and I didn't notice any rocks on the right side. I swam a bit to the right, without going into the big waves. My son went to the beach to the left of the reef, where he surfed with an instructor. The hotel's pool was fantastic. We gave cigarettes as tips to the guys by the pool and the room cleaners. The hotel had a great gym, a ball playing court, and a spa (I didn't go to the spa, but I saw that it was there). We brought plug adapters with us. There was one in the room, but we needed more because we had many gadgets to charge. There were some mosquitoes flying around, but not many. We used a fumigator in the socket, and it worked fine. On the days when we went on excursions, they provided us with packed lunch boxes. They contained an apple, a banana, a tangerine, a croissant, a muffin, 2 triangular sandwiches, juice, and a 0.5 liter bottle of water. It was enough for a snack. However, they asked us to order it by 5 PM the day before. We have no regrets about choosing this hotel; we really enjoyed our vacation.

We chose to have breakfast and dinner, skipping lunch. For lunch, we ate fruit in the heat, which we bought in town on a tuk-tuk ride. Our local guide, Chanaka, drove us around and also took us on excursions. The hotel doesn't serve mangoes, but we bought sweet mangoes and passion fruits in the city, which were inexpensive. The hotel served delicious papayas for breakfast and dinner, along with tasty desserts! For breakfast, we had our usual food: milk porridge for our child, omelettes/fried eggs, cereal with milk, sausages, salad, toast, and pastries. They also served bacon, beans, and traditional English omelettes. There was a lot of Asian food as well! The waitstaff brought juices, coffee, teas, and water. For dinner, there were always delicious shrimp, lamb/chicken meat, occasionally they baked a large fish, shish kebabs, and meatballs. And many other dishes. You certainly won't go hungry here. Since there was no "all-inclusive" option, I bought wine by the glass. They brought 3-liter bottles of drinking water to our room each day, and if you needed more, you could always ask for it. I personally really liked the beach. I'm not a great swimmer, so I prefer to just laze around and swim nearby. The water was very clean, and I didn't notice any rocks on the right side. I swam a bit to the right, without going into the big waves. My son went to the beach to the left of the reef, where he surfed with an instructor. The hotel's pool was fantastic. We gave cigarettes as tips to the guys by the pool and the room cleaners. The hotel had a great gym, a ball playing court, and a spa (I didn't go to the spa, but I saw that it was there). We brought plug adapters with us. There was one in the room, but we needed more because we had many gadgets to charge. There were some mosquitoes flying around, but not many. We used a fumigator in the socket, and it worked fine. On the days when we went on excursions, they provided us with packed lunch boxes. They contained an apple, a banana, a tangerine, a croissant, a muffin, 2 triangular sandwiches, juice, and a 0.5 liter bottle of water. It was enough for a snack. However, they asked us to order it by 5 PM the day before. We have no regrets about choosing this hotel; we really enjoyed our vacation.

For dinner, there were always delicious shrimp, lamb/chicken meat, occasionally they baked a large fish, shish kebabs, and meatballs. And many other dishes. You certainly won't go hungry here. Since there was no "all-inclusive" option, I bought wine by the glass. They brought 3-liter bottles of drinking water to our room each day, and if you needed more, you could always ask for it. I personally really liked the beach. I'm not a great swimmer, so I prefer to just laze around and swim nearby. The water was very clean, and I didn't notice any rocks on the right side. I swam a bit to the right, without going into the big waves. My son went to the beach to the left of the reef, where he surfed with an instructor. The hotel's pool was fantastic. We gave cigarettes as tips to the guys by the pool and the room cleaners. The hotel had a great gym, a ball playing court, and a spa (I didn't go to the spa, but I saw that it was there). We brought plug adapters with us. There was one in the room, but we needed more because we had many gadgets to charge. There were some mosquitoes flying around, but not many. We used a fumigator in the socket, and it worked fine. On the days when we went on excursions, they provided us with packed lunch boxes. They contained an apple, a banana, a tangerine, a croissant, a muffin, 2 triangular sandwiches, juice, and a 0.5 liter bottle of water. It was enough for a snack. However, they asked us to order it by 5 PM the day before. We have no regrets about choosing this hotel; we really enjoyed our vacation.

We stayed here with our son from August 20, 2023 to August 28, 2023. We arrived during the rainy season, but there was hardly any rain. It only dripped a couple of times at night, otherwise it was mostly dry. We really liked the hotel! The rooms were a bit tired, but the bed linen was clean without any strange smells, and the towels were changed every day. They provided us with soap and toiletries (we gave small tips). They brought us a hairdryer upon request, which turned out to be in one of the drawers and we didn't notice. The food seemed very good to us, and we were satisfied with everything. We chose to have breakfast and dinner, skipping lunch. For lunch, we ate fruit in the heat, which we bought in town on a tuk-tuk ride. Our local guide, Chanaka, drove us around and also took us on excursions. The hotel doesn't serve mangoes, but we bought sweet mangoes and passion fruits in the city, which were inexpensive. The hotel served delicious papayas for breakfast and dinner, along with tasty desserts!

Hello everyone! My husband and I stayed at this hotel from 08.09.23 to 15.09.23. Overall, the hotel is not bad, but I wouldn't recommend it to friends because: 1. The hotel is quite old, showing signs of wear and tear. 2. The food is okay, but not amazing. It was not always possible to find something tasty for lunch or dinner, and there were few fruits available (no mango, lychee, mangosteen, dragon fruit). 3. Alcohol is served in small portions - we asked for 2-3 glasses at the bar to avoid waiting for the waiter for an hour, but were refused. 4. There are no vases for flowers in the hotel - this was critical for us as we were celebrating an anniversary. 5. The staff is slow and inattentive (the room did not have a hairdryer, the number of towels decreased - initially there were 4, then 3, and finally 2, they forgot to bring the ordered alcohol, they mixed up the time of our check-out from the hotel). 6. We had an argument with the staff. 7. The beach is so-so - the left beach has a reef, which is convenient as there are no waves, but the water is murky. The right beach has rocks; my husband hit them a few times while swimming, but again, they were not visible due to the murky water. 8. There were no slippers and bathrobes in the room, and the shampoo and conditioner were 2-in-1. 9. The shelves were inconvenient, so we didn't unpack our suitcases. 10. Only one key is provided per room, which is inconvenient if there are 2 or more people. 11. For some reason, we were supposed to check out of the room at 6:40 am, not at 7:50 when our individual transfer was scheduled. And if we had booked a transfer for 1:00 pm, would we have been kicked out at 6:40 am as well? 12. We came to the reception with other guests to order breakfast for our tour, but we were refused because we arrived after 10 pm, even though cafe staff said we could come at any time, and the main restaurant was open until 10:30 pm. 13. The lighting in the room is average. 14. The refrigerator works poorly. Hotel pros: 1. Cool swimming pool. 2. There are chipmunks on the premises. 3. The alcohol is tasty and strong (unlike diluted drinks in Turkey). 4. On the beach, there are locals offering various services and speaking Russian. 5. The hotel has a decent territory. 6. Room cleaning is generally good. 7. Spacious balconies for a great evening sitting. 8. The rooms are spacious. 9. There is a snack bar where you can have a free snack between lunch and dinner if you have an all-inclusive package. Nevertheless, I would like to add that the main criterion for us when choosing a hotel was the beach and access to the ocean - and we were ultimately disappointed. The other shortcomings are not as significant since you can eat all-inclusive food in Turkey. And you can also get good service from Turks who know what they're doing. In the photos, you can see the view from our balcony, room 319, and the view from the terrace right next to our room. There is a bar there, but it was not open because it's currently off-season.

In the photos, you can see the view from our balcony, room 319, and the view from the terrace right next to our room. There is a bar there, but it was not open because it's currently off-season.

Hello everyone! My husband and I stayed at this hotel from 08.09.23 to 15.09.23. Overall, the hotel is not bad, but I wouldn't recommend it to friends because: 1. The hotel is quite old, showing signs of wear and tear. 2. The food is okay, but not amazing. It was not always possible to find something tasty for lunch or dinner, and there were few fruits available (no mango, lychee, mangosteen, dragon fruit). 3. Alcohol is served in small portions - we asked for 2-3 glasses at the bar to avoid waiting for the waiter for an hour, but were refused. 4. There are no vases for flowers in the hotel - this was critical for us as we were celebrating an anniversary. 5. The staff is slow and inattentive (the room did not have a hairdryer, the number of towels decreased - initially there were 4, then 3, and finally 2, they forgot to bring the ordered alcohol, they mixed up the time of our check-out from the hotel). 6. We had an argument with the staff. 7. The beach is so-so - the left beach has a reef, which is convenient as there are no waves, but the water is murky. The right beach has rocks; my husband hit them a few times while swimming, but again, they were not visible due to the murky water. 8. There were no slippers and bathrobes in the room, and the shampoo and conditioner were 2-in-1. 9. The shelves were inconvenient, so we didn't unpack our suitcases. 10. Only one key is provided per room, which is inconvenient if there are 2 or more people. 11. For some reason, we were supposed to check out of the room at 6:40 am, not at 7:50 when our individual transfer was scheduled. And if we had booked a transfer for 1:00 pm, would we have been kicked out at 6:40 am as well? 12. We came to the reception with other guests to order breakfast for our tour, but we were refused because we arrived after 10 pm, even though cafe staff said we could come at any time, and the main restaurant was open until 10:30 pm. 13. The lighting in the room is average. 14. The refrigerator works poorly. Hotel pros: 1. Cool swimming pool. 2. There are chipmunks on the premises. 3. The alcohol is tasty and strong (unlike diluted drinks in Turkey). 4. On the beach, there are locals offering various services and speaking Russian. 5. The hotel has a decent territory. 6. Room cleaning is generally good. 7. Spacious balconies for a great evening sitting. 8. The rooms are spacious. 9. There is a snack bar where you can have a free snack between lunch and dinner if you have an all-inclusive package. Nevertheless, I would like to add that the main criterion for us when choosing a hotel was the beach and access to the ocean - and we were ultimately disappointed.

Hello everyone! My husband and I stayed at this hotel from 08.09.23 to 15.09.23. Overall, the hotel is not bad, but I wouldn't recommend it to friends because: 1. The hotel is quite old, showing signs of wear and tear. 2. The food is okay, but not amazing. It was not always possible to find something tasty for lunch or dinner, and there were few fruits available (no mango, lychee, mangosteen, dragon fruit). 3. Alcohol is served in small portions - we asked for 2-3 glasses at the bar to avoid waiting for the waiter for an hour, but were refused. 4. There are no vases for flowers in the hotel - this was critical for us as we were celebrating an anniversary. 5. The staff is slow and inattentive (the room did not have a hairdryer, the number of towels decreased - initially there were 4, then 3, and finally 2, they forgot to bring the ordered alcohol, they mixed up the time of our check-out from the hotel). 6. We had an argument with the staff. 7. The beach is so-so - the left beach has a reef, which is convenient as there are no waves, but the water is murky. The right beach has rocks; my husband hit them a few times while swimming, but again, they were not visible due to the murky water. 8. There were no slippers and bathrobes in the room, and the shampoo and conditioner were 2-in-1. 9. The shelves were inconvenient, so we didn't unpack our suitcases. 10. Only one key is provided per room, which is inconvenient if there are 2 or more people. 11. For some reason, we were supposed to check out of the room at 6:40 am, not at 7:50 when our individual transfer was scheduled. And if we had booked a transfer for 1:00 pm, would we have been kicked out at 6:40 am as well? 12. We came to the reception with other guests to order breakfast for our tour, but we were refused because we arrived after 10 pm, even though cafe staff said we could come at any time, and the main restaurant was open until 10:30 pm. 13. The lighting in the room is average. 14. The refrigerator works poorly. Hotel pros: 1. Cool swimming pool. 2. There are chipmunks on the premises. 3. The alcohol is tasty and strong (unlike diluted drinks in Turkey). 4. On the beach, there are locals offering various services and speaking Russian. 5. The hotel has a decent territory. 6. Room cleaning is generally good. 7. Spacious balconies for a great evening sitting. 8. The rooms are spacious. 9. There is a snack bar where you can have a free snack between lunch and dinner if you have an all-inclusive package. Nevertheless, I would like to add that the main criterion for us when choosing a hotel was the beach and access to the ocean - and we were ultimately disappointed.

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.
Did you order from the hotel menu?
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?)
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)
And how many restaurants are there on the premises? ❤️
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.
Is the Deluxe a separate pool for certain rooms?
Yes, deluxe rooms are upgraded rooms. There are not many of them. And there is a private pool here.
My husband just went to the bar on the second floor. He said nothing interesting) there's just a billiard table and that's it)
Hello, how is the beach, the ocean?
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.
Did you want to go to Fire, did you find out if it costs money or is it free?





We went, yes, for free. Out of all the options, this is the most worthy place) We left them 1000. They were happy. I sent a photo of the menu to those who are interested)

The salad and soup were especially liked)
Could you please tell me, were the drinks at dinner also free?
Yes.
We stayed at the hotel in November 2024, everything was very nice. The staff is responsive, polite, the food is excellent, and we extend special thanks to the beach guide Chanaka!!🙌















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.

Top 68 tips for your stay at Cinnamon Bey
Does the hotel provide plug adapters?
Yes, they provided it upon request, but the universal ones in our room were very worn out and sparked; I recommend taking one of your own with rectangular contacts.
Does the hotel staff understand at least a little Russian?
Just a little bit 🤏
Can you tell me about the food in the hotel? Is it tasty?
The food is normal, you won't go hungry, unless for breakfast), but all the European dishes are tasteless, yet quite edible. I had no problems with my stomach at all )
Good evening! Has anyone from the hotel traveled to Yala National Park? What is the easiest way to get there?
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?
Pavel, hello! How did you get there? Yes, I read that it's better to go there directly from 6 in the morning.

Maria, we took a car at the hotel.
What is in the bathroom here? Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion? Cotton pads, swabs? Toothbrush, paste? Is all this available? Or do I need to bring it?
Shampoo and conditioner 2 in 1, there is gel, there is lotion too, on the day of check-in they provided a shaving kit and toothpaste and a toothbrush.
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.
We will soon be at the hotel, we have all inclusive, with beer and cocktails everything is clear, but does wine also include? I read that it is only during lunch/dinner. Is that true?
At dinner, our friends definitely drank wine too. I have never seen any alcohol at breakfast (visually😁).
Well, we don’t need it during breakfast 😀😀 How about during the day, for example?
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).
Please tell me if it is allowed to smoke on the hotel premises?
A designated area with ashtrays near the trees has been established, for example, I saw it near the pool. I did not see any ashtrays in the rooms and on the balconies.
When checking in, ask for an ashtray on the balcony, it's allowed there too :)
We will be at the hotel in a few days, can you tell us if we should bring snorkeling masks with us? Is there anything to see near the hotel? Or maybe at the nearby beaches?
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.
It's not the Red Sea, of course, but you can see some fish, maybe a turtle will swim by. If possible, it's better to take it.
Good afternoon. Can we take hotel towels to the beach?) Right now we are thinking about whether to bring a beach mat from home.
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.
I went out, but the guard recorded the room number.
I saw hotel towels on the beach. I think there are no problems. I took a small white one from the room. No one said a word, they didn't even ask anything.
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.
Hello. Who celebrated the New Year in the hotel? Share your impressions. We want to go next year.
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.
So the regular dinners at the hotel were better than the festive one?
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.



Here the pancakes are wonderful! And beautifully - yes, festively elegant.
Hello, could you please tell me if aqua shoes will be needed here?
It is better to take aqua shoes for the shore at Cinnamon Bey, I was not very comfortable without them. The shore has dead corals washed up.
Good evening! I would recommend taking it. We came to the beach from Kalutara, swam with a mask and snorkel, at a relatively shallow depth we saw a stingray, a small moray eel, and my husband stepped on a urchin on the corals, luckily he was wearing coral flip-flops.
Hello) Could you please tell me where I can exchange money near the hotel?
Good afternoon, they exchange at the hotel next to the reception or when you exit the hotel at the jewelry store next to the Elephant restaurant.
Who is at the hotel, if it’s not too difficult, please clarify) Is it possible to pay for services at the hotel with a card?
In the hotel, it is definitely possible. For example, for laundry services or bar services. I clarified. For each service, you sign a bill. Upon check out, the issued bills can be paid by card. I saw they have a note that union pay is available, but I didn't specify the details.
Good morning. Could you please tell me about the dining options at the hotel? All inclusive. Can I book dinners in restaurants or only the main one?
Hello! We have full board, today we had lunch and dinner at Fire, ordered from the menu. The Italian cuisine is quite good. The portions are large. Only drinks were included in the bill. And the most important thing is that the restaurant has air conditioning)
Hello everyone! We will be arriving at the hotel soon) Could you please tell me what the gym is like in the hotel? Maybe someone has videos/photos of the equipment available there)) I would be very grateful 🙏



The room is very compact, with a couple of cardio machines and a free weights area.
Hello. Could you please tell me where to have lunch and dinner near the hotel? How much do lunches and dinners cost at the hotel? We only have breakfast.
We were at the elephant restaurant, as you exit the hotel, it is just across the road slightly to the left, and if needed, local tuk-tuk drivers are there, they will show you.
What are the approximate prices? What kind of food is it? Is it decent or simple Indian style? Please let me know.
We visited once and ordered seafood soup, rice with shrimp and some tasty sausage, shrimp (served with salad), mango fresh and lime juice, all of this cost around 10 thousand, we asked for no spicy, the menu is available in Russian, but we waited a long time for the food. Everything was delicious without any consequences😊
Today we had lunch at the Elephant restaurant. Overall, it was NOT tasty! We never imagined that it was possible to ruin a seafood salad and tom yum like this! 🤦♀️
I read somewhere in the chats that they don't know how to make tom yum tasty here at all, and I didn't order it, otherwise I would probably have been dissatisfied as well.
To the left along the beach, there are a couple of cafes after the hotel the palms, but based on experience, this time we chose all-inclusive. It seemed to us that it was cheaper this way )
Thank you. Can lunch or dinner be bought at the hotel?
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.
I lied, $110, recalculated from rubles.
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)
Good afternoon! Could you please tell me if it is possible to pay by card at the cafe?
Good afternoon, honestly, I don't know, I can clarify in the evening. In cafes, they always paid cash, in stores and fruit stalls they paid with a Belarusian Mastercard. Adding: To my question at the Elephant restaurant: - Can I pay with a credit card? I received the answer - Yes, ok
Good afternoon! Please let me know, is there enough non-spicy food available in the hotel?
Yes, more European cuisine, bland. But you won't go hungry and there were no stomach problems.
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.
Can you tell me if the hotel provides lunch boxes for guests leaving before breakfast? Or is this not a common practice here?
You need to order at the reception in advance.
Are there any videos or photos of the hotel grounds and rooms? 🙏 I would be grateful.




We rested from November 22 to December 2.
The impressions from the hotel are good, everything is fine?
The hotel is good!
Good evening. Could someone please tell me what the situation with sockets is in the hotel? What adapter is needed? Thank you ☺️
Nothing is needed, there is a connector in the room, you can ask at the reception for one.
Could you please tell me if there is a kettle in the room?
Yes, there is a kettle. Tea and coffee are available in the room.
What time does dinner end at the hotel?
Dinner until 10 PM
Hello everyone. Please tell me, has anyone checked in here before 2 PM? Is it fine to check in calmly, or is it only for an additional fee?
Checked in early without any questions.
Is there internet in the room?
Yes, throughout the hotel, even on the beach, there is connectivity.
Guests, can you tell me if there are no hotel sunbeds on the beach by the ocean? Am I understanding correctly? And is the hotel fenced off from the ocean?

There are no loungers by the ocean. The hotel is surrounded by a light fence. And it's not a very wide strip of beach.
Is it not possible to sunbathe by the ocean? Can sun loungers be placed by the ocean? It seems interesting to be near the water?
Sunbathing by the ocean... I heard somewhere about beach fleas😃 I don't know if it's true or not. But we didn't take the risk)))
Has anyone else heard about them?
Many people write about this. We didn’t sunbathe by the ocean. No one bit.
They wrote about the stones, that they are mainly found there. It's hard to tell who bit, but there was a bite that was itchy and swollen. Toothpaste helps.

All beaches are public, there are sunbeds at the cafes for food, but there are not many of them at the hotel itself, you will need to walk to the neighboring beach.
There are no sun loungers at the hotel on the beach - it is a city hotel. On the left side of the hotel, there are cafes where you can settle down on the condition of purchasing a coconut or beer.
Please tell me, where can I exchange currency nearby the hotel?
It was mentioned earlier that there is nothing nearby, you need to take a tuk-tuk.
Thank you🙏
Hello everyone. Could you please tell me how long it takes to get from Colombo Airport to the hotel by group transfer?
Hello, almost 2 hours.
We traveled for 3 hours.
Good evening! Should I bring coral slippers with me or are they not needed there?
Take it. There are a lot of sea urchins on the reef, in some places on the beach the sand is coarse, corals are lying around - we always walk in them and don’t take them off.
Thank you. Could you tell me if there is a place to buy coral slippers or should I bring them with me?

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)
Please let me know what the situation is with theft in the hotel? Are there any cases or is everything calm regarding this?
Theft by staff or what do you mean? In the room, a bag and an open suitcase were left in a hurry. Nothing was missing. I simply left tips on the table - they were taken. 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.
Regarding the safe in the room, here’s a life hack - we took a sticker from home, wrote our last name on it, and stuck it on the safe; we recorded everything on video and walk around calmly. Nobody touches anything. There was no iron in the room - we asked for one and they brought an iron, a board, and 3 additional hangers for clothes.
Does anyone have the restaurant's work schedule saved? I'm specifically interested in dinner, until what time? The red wings arrival time is inconvenient :(
Dinner from 19:30 to 22:30
Can you tell me about the situation with mosquitoes? Are there many of them, is there a fumigator in the room?
The fumigator is plugged in. If the balcony is not opened in the evening, there will be no pests in the room.
Please tell me, is it worth buying a SIM card upon arrival? Or does the Wi-Fi cover well in the hotel?
WiFi coverage was fine both on the premises and in the room.
I have a question - can you swim over the reef here? Or is it wide? It is said that the water is murky around the reef.
We did not see anyone swimming past the reef. The water is always clear in the morning. We saw a moray eel, a turtle there.
How is the water in the evening in terms of cleanliness? :)
In the evening, the tides make the water murky. You can swim at any time. There are no big waves. We have been to the hotel twice and will fly there for the third time. There are many returning tourists.
Thank you very much) This is my first time flying to this hotel) I also chose the beach because of the reef, but I've already managed to read a lot of different things)
This is our second time going there. We liked everything very much too.
Good day. Is there anyone currently vacationing at the hotel? Could you provide information on the restaurant prices?


Hello. I don't know about the restaurant itself. There is such a price list in the rooms.
Good afternoon, I paid for the hotel using the BB system, but after reading the reviews, I think I will add dinner. Does anyone have photos of the dinner menu? As I understand, dinner is a la carte, not a buffet?
We were on an all-inclusive package. I think that those who had breakfast/lunch/dinner also ate in the same way, the same buffet.
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?
Thailand and China minus 😉 Everything will be minimal and + good renovation 😃 for which you will overpay.
Do you mean if visiting pre-paid lunches/dinners in advance?
Expensive hotels are not worth that kind of money, and there's no sense in overpaying! You need to go to the Dominican Republic, everything is geared towards that there.
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.
Good evening. Could you please tell me if various juices/carbonated waters are for an additional charge? Is there nothing included at dinner/breakfast (besides tea/water)?
In the morning, juices are available for free, tea, coffee, and water are brought by waiters upon request. In the evening, only tea, coffee, and water are free, and they are also brought by waiters. Everything else you want, such as sodas and wines, is for a fee.
Do you think it's worth paying extra for half-board or is it tastier and more interesting in local cafes?
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.
Hello. We have planned a trip to this hotel at the end of October. Please let us know from experience if we should take a mosquito repellent device.
We took it, but it wasn't needed. It was in the room upon check-in.
I was told that the highest activity of mosquitoes is from 5 PM to 8 PM, during this time it is better not to open the balcony.
Nothing is needed. Everything is available in the hotel.
Can you tell me if anyone who vacationed here during the season also found the beach dirty?
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).
Guys, could you tell me if anyone has stayed/staying at the hotel, is it true that you can order a hookah at the bar or is it just a lure for tourists?
It can be done sooner, but we haven't tried. There is an advertisement for hookah in the elevator and near the pool by the dining area is the "800" bar, where a hookah is available, I think it can be ordered.
Yes, you can order) they make it and bring it 👍 The cost of the hookah is 6465 rupees.
Thank you very much, but can you tell me about the quality? I read a lot that Sri Lankans don't know how to make hookah at all.
I can't help with that, in the end we didn't order 😁 at the beach they told us it was included in "all inclusive," we didn't believe it and found out the price)
Well, yes, I have a lot of doubts about all-inclusive in Sri Lanka 😁, not everywhere are even regular drinks included, let alone alcohol, and here they have shisha)
Well, the local rum is good here)) and the Beach Boy cocktail 👍
Good day. Please tell me, if I purchase a tour with breakfast and dinner included, can I pay for lunch at the hotel upon arrival? If so, could you provide information about the cost per person for lunch at the hotel? Thank you.
Good day. 4000 rupees per person.
If you purchase a buffet lunch, the cost is $20 or $25.
We will be here at the end of the week for just one week - we only took breakfast and dinner (since we don't plan to stay in the hotel + we want to take a 2-day excursion, which means minus 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners already). Question: what is the approximate price range for alcohol in bars if not everything is included? I think I will stock up on duty-free for the week right away.
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.
In the hotel, a bottle of Lion beer costs 1350 rupees, in the store - 470 rupees = 145 rubles, which is also a price higher than in Russia.
Alcohol at the hotel is expensive, so bring it with you or take a tuk-tuk to go to the market. A tuk-tuk to the market and back costs 100 rupees.
Is there a cafe near the hotel to have a meal?
There are several cafes, go out to the beach and turn left.
If you go left along the beach, there will be a café sunflower, sasha. I ate there and there. Also for breakfasts and dinners.
Right next to the hotel, just walk down the street, there is Café Elephant, I highly recommend it, cheaper than at the beach and much tastier. We also had breakfast and dinner, had lunch at the beach, but after going to Elephant, we no longer had lunch at the beach.
Throw me the location please
Just go out through the main gates and you will see it right away, to the left of the bus parking lot.
Please tell me, can I exchange money at the hotel or should I do it at the airport right away?
At the hotel, you can also exchange money until 6:00 p.m., but the exchange rate is worse than at the hotel. Money can also be exchanged in the village and you can get there
