Last Sri Lankan hotel

Dikwala Beach resort.
I ordered a mocktail with dinner as it was a religious day and no alcohol is served. It was described as rosemary with coconut but when I queried it on both flavour & colour someone was summoned from the kitchen to explain that the rosemary is boiled with red cabbage first 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ I mean why?
It was disgusting and I resolved never to order a mocktail again but stick with gin!. As it was handed to me, a small fishbowl with bright blue liquid and ice in which sat an over sized lightbulb containing pink liquid, I was told to only drink the pink liquid not the blue! Bizarre and revolting.
Finally 3 nights in one place...
A cookery demo with the head Chef & Kanthi making some amazing prawns.
Early night with no further dinner for me.
A day by the pool interspersed with eating and drinking.
Last day some of us went on a snorkeling trip - fabulous fish not much coral although some encouraging new growth.
Then off to local town to Smoke & Bitters.Read more
