Pros:

We had a great stay here. It is a nice quiet location with a 15 min walk into the main area, however there are places to eat just a short walk from it. The room was spacious and clean with good AC. The staff working was great from the minute we got there. He made us a great breakfast and was very helpful. Would recommend!

Cons:

Nothing

Perfect Escape to Nature – Highly Recommended!
Pros:

What I loved:
If you want to escape the chaos of the city and give your lungs a much-needed detox, this is the perfect place! The resort is surrounded by beautiful, lush trees and offers total peace and relaxation.

The Room: Very spacious, featuring an incredibly cozy bed and pillows. The bathroom was spotless.
The Staff: Their hospitality was outstanding. They really go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.
The Food: Delicious breakfasts every single morning.
The Highlight: The resort dog, Ginger! I absolutely loved petting her; she instantly made the place feel like a warm, cozy home.

Overall:
After a wonderful 3-night stay, I can confidently say this is a place I cannot wait to come back to just to relax and unwind.

Soggiorno in paradiso
Pros:

Un’oasi nel paradiso. Lo staff è gentilissimo e ti fa sentire a casa. Colazione e cena molto buone e abbondanti. Servizio tuktuk sempre disponibile e gentilissimo. La posizione è ottima. E la location è incantevole. In più c’è una bellissima cagnolina pronta a darvi tantissimo affetto. Uno di quei posti che ti resta nel cuore.

Generous rooms, lovely food, helpful staff in garden guesthouse.
Pros:

Generous size room. Easy to work shower for hot and cold water (not always the case in other Sri Lankan hotels). Balcony for enjoying shaded outside. Locale -just few steps down lane from main street, ATM and cafes yet not noisy. Garden and pond and potted plants gave pretty surrounds. Good aircon in room.
Breakfasts and dinner tasty and adjusted for spice tolerance. Attentive helpful staff who arranged transport and tours but were not pushy.

Cons:

Nothing- all good.
