The hotel is very simple, you will not find any frills there and the furniture in the rooms is old. But, cozy and clean, iridescent hosts, large rooms, a great pool and the bonus of monkeys running on the roofs at night. And each room has a table and chairs where you can have great gatherings in the evenings.
A good hotel, of course not a suite, but quite decent, the rooms are spacious, there is everything except a TV.The hotel staff are nice and helpful, as well as all the locals. It's not the first coastal one, but it's a 5-minute walk to the beach. There are many beautiful fish swimming near the shore.There is a nice bar on the beach, called Hikka young beer garden, where you can have a great day. Not high prices (hot 1600-2000 rupees)keep in mind that the portions are very large, fresh fruit made from natural products (600 rupees)You can bring alcohol with you. There is also a fish market next to the hotel, where you will immediately get the goods you bought.By the way, we took the goods prepared here to the beach at the aforementioned beach bar, we were even given dishes for this.😁Tip, if you buy large shrimps there, you may be deceived and mixed with large ones will put small ones that are cheaper, so it's better to put them yourself. And also, if a guy comes up to you on the beach and offers an excursion to the city of Galle on tuktuk, agree, the trip will be intense, it's better than by bus, he can stop anywhere you want for a photo. And it costs only $5 per person.

Go to turtle beach, about 15 minutes to the left, you can't walk along the beach, you have to go on the way. They sell algae there for 300-500 rupees, which the turtles love, the turtles spend almost the whole day, but they come more at lunch. Feeding the turtles is unforgettable.

And the fish market, they can also cook there, it turns out to be unusual and profitable. One fish of about 1,500 rupees comes out with cooking already. You can eat there or take it with you.
The hotel is well located, close to shops, cafes, market, beach. There's a lagoon here, and the waves are smaller.
The rooms are different, we are tired, there is a conder, a fan, a kettle, no TV.
The mixer is shaking, sometimes a cockroach will come in from the street.
But on the other hand, there are wonderful people, breakfasts and a clean pool.
