πŸ‘πŸ‘ ["My partner and I were driving by Bluefin when we suddenly got a flat tire. The owner of the hostel literally came and rescued us.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ I can’t explain how amazing our experience was at Chill Nasa. Himesh really looked after us and gave us the real authentic experience. We couldn’t offer this place to anyone who stays in Sri Lanka enough, you really do get the full experience. You must come here if you come to Sri Lanka!

They are not providing enough water as well. The bonfire will not last 10 minutes. The lunch & the breakfast they given was the only...
