A comfortable and enjoyable stay with great views and location, though a few improvements are needed
Pros:

The room was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The balcony offered an excellent view of both the beach and the pool. The pool itself was clean and not crowded, though access is limited to 7:00 PM. The beach is conveniently located within approximately 50 meters and can be accessed directly from the room.

Cons:

The quality and condition of the room door and lock require attention. The shower was not functioning properly, and the taps and sanitary fittings appear somewhat outdated, although they were satisfactorily clean. Additionally, while the room itself was pleasant, the access corridors could be improved in terms of aesthetics.

Cons:

La vétusté de certains équipements de l'hotel (barreaux des balcons rouillés, peinture à rafraichir, chaises de terrasse trés usées). Pas d'eau chaude dans la douche

Pros:

Moved here for our last night in Sri Lanka from an awful place. What a delight awaited us from reception to an amazing balcony room with sea views and only 1 night! Nice tea tray and good toiletries. As sea a bit rough at times having the pool was great and could still see the sea! Breakfast varied and good. Only wish our stay had been longer.

Cons:

Nothing

Goede prijs-kwaliteit verhouding, prachtig aan het strand.
Pros:

Erg mooie locatie aan het strand. Met nog een mooie strook gras met palmbomen grenzend aan het strand.

Cons:

Het zou allemaal wat mooier en schoner mogen zijn. Maar de prijs-kwaliteit verhouding is precies goed. Het is een schappelijke prijs. Voor meer luxe zijn er andere hotels in de buurt, waarbij de prijs navenant hoger is.

Könnte wirklich schön sein, wenn mann einiges investiert
Pros:

Die Zimmer und das Bad sind sehr hübsch-der positive Eindruck verschwindet wenn man auf den Balkon tritt-2 fleckige Plastiksessel ohne Tisch,komplett verrostete Metallgehäuse,die auch die Abtrennung zum Nachbarn sind.Der Poolblick ist aber sehr schön.

Cons:

Der Balkon mit absolut keiner Privatsphäre.
Die deprimierenden engen Gänge,überall Verfall
