Un alojamiento de 10
Pros:

La habitación y baño eran súper amplios y tenian todo lo necesario para estar cómodos. Lo mejor fue poder dormir y despertarse con el sonido del mar y las vistas que tiene! Los atardeceres son espectaculares y Daniel, el propietario es muy cálido y cercano.

Bellissima struttura ma in alta stagione (fuori dalla movida turistica)
Pros:

Bellissima struttura in una zona meno turistica con piscina e ingresso diretto sulla spiaggia.

Cons:

Un condizionatore di una camera vicina faceva troppo rumore,provate a sistemarlo rovina la pace della zona!

Pros:

Es war nur der Pool. Der einzige, der sauber war. Mein Mann ist bei dem Rand (der Gitter lag nur drauf) durchbrochen und er hat sich am Knie schlimmer Riss geholt. (5 STICHE) zusammen genäht. Der Gitter wurde wieder nur drauf gelegt. Das einzige gute Zimmer, sind nur zweie), ganz
unten und mit Pool Eingang. Die haben wir gebucht und leider nicht bekommen.

Cons:

Bei der Einkunft nicht mal willkommen Drink. Wir waren schon drei Wochen in sri lanka und das war das schlimmste Unterkunft vor allem. Überall Unordnung. Die Küche. Wir haben lieber außerhalb gegessen. Zimmer mit Poolblick schon halbesjahr vorher gebucht und Zimmer hinter im Hof bekommen, Blick auf Abfall gehabt. Nur seitlich Stück von Pool gehabt. Überall Plastik, auch zum Eingang von Meer. Nicht den Bilder entsprechend. War wieder froh abzureisen.

Great location near the airport with really comfy room and nice pool
Pros:

Best shower in Sri Lanka. Friendly hosts and great location for the airport. Pool was lovely, room was clean and had everything you need including a fridge!
They do food and a few little restaurants nearby.

Cons:

Beach wasn't the nicest in Sri Lanka but that's not why we chose this place.

Call the hotel after you book to ensure that your reservation is active. Risky place to book
Cons:

We were not allowed to stay as they had given the reservation to some walk in customer after I booked this hotel. Be careful when you book this hotel.

Lugn, avslappnande och skön vistelse
Pros:

Good breakfast, good lunch and dinner. But tell the staff in advance if you as a Northern European want the food Sri Lankan spiced (hot) otherwise there is a risk that you will get it "tourist spiced"
Proximity to the beach through a gate, which is open during daylight hours. Lovely beach, sparsely populated. But a stone reef makes it a bit difficult to be in the water. But there is a pool if you want to swim.
They close the entrance, so unauthorized people cannot come at night. Opening if you arrive late, you solve with a phone call. In addition to a regular pool, there is a children's pool.
Foot shower when you come from the beach. Foot and regular shower near the pool.

Cons:

Det finns inget att klaga på.

nice place for the first or last night in Sri Lanka
Pros:

Big room, we even had a terrace. Very nice hotel, directly at the beach and with a pool. Very nice staff, very flexible. You can have meals at the hotel with short notice. We spontaneously were able to join a river tour. It was perfect for us to wind down before our flight. The sunset at the hotel was spectacular.

Cons:

The beach is beautiful to go for a walk, you see the skyline of Colombo, but you can hardly swim in it, because there are many rocks and the weaves are crazy. Ask the hotel at what time and were exactly its safe, or swim in the pool :)

Very good
Pros:

Quiet and nice, only the sea could be heard. You get what you pay for.
Do not let small children shower by themselves; the hot water can become very hot if you turn the taps wrong.
The clean beach is accessible through a gate, which is open during daylight hours.

Cons:

There was nothing to hang onto. You get what you pay for.
