Heritance Ahungalla 5 * (Sri Lanka): reviews

Constant guests of the hotel, who regularly visit it, noted that the level of service did not improve, although every year progress should take place in any area.

Nevertheless, the age of the hotel did not affect the beauty of the territory and interior decoration. Tasty food and a wide choice of dishes are noted. Many guests were satisfied with the work of the animators and excellent high-quality SPA procedures. Some guests thought that the hotel's rooms needed repairs, and the staff were eager to tip.

But in general, the guests described the staff as attentive and friendly. One guest did not have internet, but this malfunction was eliminated within an hour.

Now about the location. The hotel is far from the center, and the lack of an ATM in the hotel is an obvious minus. Nearby there are no attractions and major shops and restaurants. But the sea is just beyond the threshold, but, according to the guests, there was often a shortage of sun loungers and umbrellas, they should be occupied from the early morning, at noon this can not be done. Perhaps the management of the hotel should replenish supplies of equipment for sea beach recreation.

From the capital to the hotel to go about five hours, it is tedious, especially given traffic jams on the roads, which are fairly narrow in Colombo.

Staff welcomes newly arrived guests with fresh from tropical fruits. Many guests noted the rapid arrival in the room.

Very praised the cook, who delighted the guests with the skillful preparation of dishes from pork, lamb, chicken, and also all kinds of side dishes. The baking turned out to be delicious. Just be careful, some dishes are unusual for us - Asians often find busting with spices, so those who suffer from gastritis and increased acidity of the stomach should be on the alert.

Tourists are advised to bargain when buying absolutely any thing both on the territory of the hotel and outside it.

If there is a desire to buy oils and a cream of Ayurveda, it makes sense to visit the city pharmacy, they sell real drugs, not fakes.

Some guests were confused by lizards, newts and other animals on the territory, but any Asian country is exotic, and one should be prepared not only for meetings with chipmunks and lizards, but also with mosquitoes, so stock up on repellents.

As for the surroundings of Heritance Ahungalla 5 *, the reviews of many tourists contained enthusiastic impressions of visiting a small fishing village a little further from the hotel. It turns out that it is absolutely safe for foreigners to stay there, as its inhabitants are very good-natured and friendly, and are not savages at all, as some might think. The nature of the island shocked many of its pristine beauty.

Those guests who decided to explore the island life on their own and went on a river on a rented boat, highly recommend this mini voyage as a true in-depth acquaintance with Sri Lanka, its strange jungle, flowers, animals and bright unearthly colors.

Summing up, it can be noted that Russian tourists who leave feedback about the hotel were very pleased with the small number of compatriots. In general, the conclusion suggests itself: the hotel "Heritans" is ideal for those who like peace, appreciates privacy and wants to take a break in the relationship with the Russian reality, to return to their homeland completely updated and really rested.
