Resort Features and Tours from Tangerine Beach Hotel (Sri Lanka)
Kalutara is a small town that,despite its status as the county capital, looks very provincial. But if you lack the hustle and bustle of the metropolis - Colombo is only forty kilometers away, and you can reach it quickly and cheaply by rail or bus. But in Kalutara there is something to see. Before entering the city, the giant stupa Gangatilak Vihara appears before the eyes of travelers. This sacred structure in addition to religious significance for Buddhists has an architectural value. It is hollow inside, which is very rare. Compare with the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra can Dagobu Kalutaru Vihara. This is one of the oldest temples in Sri Lanka. It is built on the place where Buddha Shakyamuni himself preached after spiritual enlightenment. Inside, a bewildered tourist will find a collection of seventy-four frescoes that depict scenes from all 550 reincarnations of Prince Siddhartha. In the courtyard of the temple complex grows a Bo tree. It is also a shrine. After all, it grew out of the appendix of the badian, under which the Buddha gained enlightenment. You should offer the tree a sacrifice in the form of flowers or fruits in order to find in return a harmony of the soul or the fulfillment of a cherished desire. In the south of Kalutara, there is a beautiful Bentota beach. Reviews are advised not to limit their attacks to one city. Do not trust the visiting guides who are on duty under the gates of the Tangerine Beach Hotel. Kalutara, or rather, its stores, where such “guides” are promised a rollback, will become your only visit. Hotel guides can take you to the turtle farm, to the waterfalls, in Colombo.
Reviews
Tourists like well-groomed greenthe territory of two hotels. Gardeners work for glory. On the paths you can see tropical birds and animals (harmless). Hotel rooms are very spacious and tastefully decorated. Many of the tourists, settling in the "Standard", paid extra for the "Deluxe" only to enjoy the ocean around the clock. The rooms are cleaned very carefully. The staff is smiling, friendly. At the reception, one of the employees is a little explained in Russian. Many liked the fact that, living in the Quartet, you can use the infrastructure of a five-star hotel. But Tangerine Beach Hotel reviews are called not quite a good choice for a holiday with very young children. The sand on the beach is coarse, the entry into the sea is steep. Although, as already mentioned, for these kids there is a swimming pool and other entertainment. And now, from the age of eight, the child will appreciate the beauty of the ocean, since jumping in breaking waves is quite fun. This hotel is suitable either for newlyweds (or couples in love), or professional surfers.
