Pros:

Location is great at the beachfront! Nice spacious rooms. Ok breakfast!

Cons:

Biggest minus was the dinner! It was kind of ok but the chefs big selling speech and the reality didn't meet each others! :)

Great location, great people, great time
Pros:

Sapphire Seas is well positioned just out of the main town (5 mins tuk-tuk ride Rs500) Providing a vast spacious beach.
The breakfast was fantastic.. the chef Sunil provided a full Sri Lanka Breakfast for me daily, even if we had an early trip booked and they were advised of your plans the night before.
The pool is a good size and well maintained. The large well kept room was huge and equipped with everything you could need.
The ever helpful staff were fantastically attentive and yet professionally discreet, giving you the space to enjoy the surroundings. cant speak highly enough of this resort

Mõnus koht peatumiseks kuni 3 päevaks.
Pros:

Avar tuba mõnusa rõduga ja vaatega ookeanile ja basseini alale. Ilus bassein, kust avaneb otse vaade ookenile. Piisavalt on lamamisoole, kuid nii rannatoolid kui rõdumööbel on üsna väsinud väljanägemisega.

Cons:

Hommikusöögi valik on äärmiselt kesine. Basseinibaar ei tööta, jooke tuleb tellida vastuvõtuletis. Väga pikalt võtab aega enne kui tellitud joogi kätte saab. Vahel jäetakse joogi sisse jää panemata. Plastikust terrassimööbel ei sobi konteksti.

Highfive from Denmark
Pros:

the guys who were staff when we were there were good and loving. we had a few good days and they took extremely good care of our 10 month old son. and yes... the rooms are not brand new, and yes, the air conditioning is noisy.. but all in all the surroundings and the staff meant more to us. mega nice pool and right down to the beach with beautiful sunsets
