Great hotel! All rooms have ocean views! Cleanliness, high level of service, delicious food! There is an a la carte restaurant. Live music in the evenings. On the beach, the coral reef dampens the waves- it is comfortable to swim in any weather and at any time. There are restaurants near the beach where fish and seafood are deliciously prepared. One of the disadvantages is that the exchange rate is unprofitable, and they only change into local currency, but not from local currency into dollars. There is no fruit shop, tea shop, supermarket, etc. nearby, you have to take a tuk-tuk, taxi to the city.
There are guys working on the beach at the hotel who organize excursions, trips to the city, tell you where to buy what, recommend restaurants. Ask Rami on the beach - a very decent, obliging person, everything he recommended to me - tea, an auverdique store, a jewelry store, a spa, a fruit shop, restaurants - everything was of excellent quality! Rami organizes interesting excursions, very friendly service!
We're resting here now.
The hotel is very pleasant, lots of greenery, large territory, 2 swimming pools.
The staff is very pleasant, all are nice and friendly, some speak Russian.
Good cleaning, there are all necessary hygiene supplies.
They update the water regularly, as much as you ask.
The repair is outdated, but generally not critical.
Delicious and varied food for breakfast, lots of fruit (we only took breakfast)
Of the cons, there is no normal coffee for breakfast.
There are not many cafes/restaurants nearby, it's delicious only at the Coral Reef on the beach next to the hotel, you will need to go to other places (5-10 minutes by tuk tuk)
Among the disadvantages: the beach and the ocean.
It was a disappointment for us, the ocean seems to have no waves, but the depth is waist-deep, then the reef, it's unpleasant to walk on the sand - there are a lot of rocks and shells.
But this also did not become a problem, we go to Benton beach (7 minutes by tuk tuk), there really is a fairy tale 🌴🌊 the beach was suggested by the guide Nadish
Excursions were taken through it (you can find it on the beach) +94 77 576 1468
I conducted individual excursions at an affordable price, a rich program, a large selection
Thanks to Sri Lanka and the Cinnamon Hotel for a wonderful stay. Spacious, well-maintained territory, many chipmunks, monitor lizards, beautiful trees, flowers, very friendly and courteous staff, promptly fulfill any requests. Delicious breakfasts, a nice beach surrounded by a reef, there is an opportunity to swim without waves. We would like to express special thanks to Cherry's guide, who was found by recommendations on the Internet. He speaks excellent Russian, helped us get acquainted with the nature and sights of Sri Lanka, there were many positive emotions after swimming on the beach with turtles, walking along the river where you can feed the monkeys. You can exchange currency at Cherry's, you are always in touch and ready to help. We do not recommend contacting beachboys, they are very intrusive and unreliable, contact Cherry, can organize both group and individual excursions
