Absolute Empfehlung! 5 Sterne!
Pros:

Wir durften Gast in “La Dolce Vita” sein. Es handelt sich um eine wunderschöne, kleine Anlage. Die modern eingerichteten Bungalows mit eigener Terrasse haben direkten Zugang zum Pool. Es ist absolut sauber. Das Team ist ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es organisierte unsere Ausflüge und unsere Safari. Das Essen ist sehr appetitlich angerichtet und sehr lecker. Schade, dass wir nicht länger bleiben können.
Absolut zu empfehlen!

Highly recommended stay - extremely comfortable and great food and location!
Pros:

Fabulous accommodation and facilities, and amazing staff! Beautiful pool and breakfast excellent - we chose the Sri Lankan breakfast which we highly recommend. We also had dinners and equally tasty and beautifully served. If we’re back in Sri Lanka, we will definitely stay here again!

Pros:

Logement propre, fidèle aux photos. Personnel très accueillant et toujours prêt à aider. Petit bonus pour l’amour porté aux animaux au sein de ce logement, ce qui est parfois rare. Une petite pensée notamment pour leur labrador de 20 ans qui a ensoleillé nos journées là bas ainsi qu’un petit chaton à qui nous avons apporté de l’amour et de l’aide !

Cons:

Petit bémol pour l’organisation du safari qui s’est mal passé, mais notamment à l’absence du chauffeur !

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and hope these suggestions will help make the experience even better for future guests
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay! The location was excellent and made it easy to explore the area. The swimming pool in the courtyard was fantastic – a perfect place to relax. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a great selection of fresh and tasty food. And of course, we can’t forget Bruno, the local dog – he was incredibly cute, friendly, and made our stay even more special.

Cons:

There were a few things that could be improved. During our stay, the property experienced several power outages, and on a couple of occasions the electricity was out for quite a long time. As this happened in the evening, our room became completely dark, and eventually there was no hot water either.

The bathroom towels looked quite worn, with loose threads hanging from them. It would be nice to replace them with new ones.

It also seemed that the property is currently being expanded with additional accommodation. While we understand that improvements take time, the area looked a bit like a construction site during our stay.

The cottages are located beneath fruit trees, and while we liked the natural setting, the ripe fruit kept falling onto the roof throughout the night. The loud banging noises were enough to wake us up repeatedly. Perhaps installing nets under the trees, or another solution to catch the falling fruit, could help reduce the noise and make guests’ nights more peaceful.
