The room was on the 3rd floor overlooking the garden. The room has a bed, sofa, table, refrigerator, safe, TV, air conditioning, kettle, wardrobe. I would like to especially note the large comfortable bed. 2 bottles of water, tea and coffee set, shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, soap were replenished daily. Hairdryer available on request at reception. The safe did not work right away, after contacting it it was repaired within an hour. There was a need to repair clothes, and the receptionist gave me a set of needles and threads. Do not accumulate negativity in yourself, but immediately seek help. Upon arrival, we bought a 20 GB SIM card at the airport for $5 and did not use the hotel WiFi. The beach is municipal, the part opposite the hotel was cleaned once a day. There were waves every day, which for us was the highlight of the ocean, we rode the waves to our heart's content. We swam in the ocean at any convenient time: before breakfast, during the day, at night we didn’t dare, although no one forbids it. There is not a fast current along the shore from left to right. All sun loungers are on site by the pool. The pool itself can be used at any time, except for water treatment. There is a problem with beach towels, which the hotel management promises to solve within a month. We had half board, breakfast and dinner. The cuisine suited us 100%; we had seafood and fruit in the morning and evening. We ate on excursions in restaurants of other hotels, as well as on the beaches, so there is something to compare with. Here it is correct to compare restaurants in one country, and not to compare them with other countries. Special thanks to Chef Pasan for the cooked barracuda that we caught in the ocean. After an excursion to Yala National Park, the other hotel guests and I were an hour late for dinner; we contacted the senior manager of Chaminda and upon arrival, dinner was waiting for us at the restaurant. One of the guests had a birthday and in the evening after dinner she said about it, at that moment we talked with the owner of the Athula hotel and told him about it, within 5-10 minutes the waiters brought a small cake for the birthday girl. There is live music in the restaurant lobby 3 times a week. There is no animation in the hotel, so entertainment is up to your taste and imagination. We went on paid excursions and on our own routes. The hotel was closed due to Covid for over 2 years and is still recovering, but it left a pleasant aftertaste. I thank the hotel owner Athula Makavitage and general manager Shantha for the attention and care they showed us during our stay at the hotel.
