So its been around a month or so since my stay here...The place is more like a bed and breakfast than an actual hotel. There is a pool, but rather small, more like a large Jacuzzi if it had water jets!!! The first time I stayed there, there was a man who was also the cook and cleaner I guess. About three weeks later I came back for my last two nights in the country...this man had gone away for some medical reason or other...So the owner had to meet up with me to let me in. The owner is relatively decent a dude, but when I first stayed, I ended up booking a car service through him to take me to Arugam Bay, which is like a four hour drive, he charged me around 150, the driver told me that the owner actually told him that I was only willing to pay much less and got paid around 80 dollars...I'm not sure if he was telling me this story to make me feel sorry for him, but I do feel that the charge probably was a bit more than I should have paid, maybe around at least by 30 dollars...But besides that, the place is relatively well kept, there is a kitchen you can use if you want, and not much in the local area to do. I actually came to this town to spend some time with some people I met in Colombo at their Zoo. So I can't really say there is much to do here because I didn't end up going anywhere while staying here!!!
