Staff were very helpful & kind when issues arised. Like our air con leaking badly & repetitive breakfast.
Pros:

Loved that it was right on the beach & the pool was great.

Cons:

A bit too far from turtle beach, shopping & snorkeling beach had to get tuk tuks there. Dining room very hot needs fans at least. Breakfast very limited but staff did change it up for us when we asked.

Slitet men trevligt
Pros:

Baksidan med pool var mycket trevlig. Bra frukost!

Cons:

Rummen var slitna och vi hade stora mängder myror. Rummen behöver förbättras för att det ska kännas prisvärt.

Skvele miesto
Pros:

Skvele ubytovanie s este lepsim bazenom. Hotel je hned na plazi, ale v zahrade je prijemny tien z paliem. Okolo je mnozstvo restauracii a kaviarni dostupnych z plaze. Ta je neskutocne krasna a siroka. Iba kusok od Turtle beach. Majitel bol velmi mily a ochotny, mozem len odporucit. Ak sa niekedy vratime, nasa volba bude jasna.

Friendly staff, clean rooms and a nice breakfast
Pros:

Very close to the beach, nice swimming pool and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and safe. Kid friendly too.

Cons:

There wasn’t much I didn’t like about the property but maybe it was a bit dated for the price. No real complaints though

Однозначно лучшее место за такую стоимость! Приезжайте и убедитесь сами.
Pros:

Отличный отель. Самый чистый и ухоженный отель из всех где я был в этой ценовой категории на Шри Ланке без преувеличения. Еще и на первой линии с прекрасным пляжем и безумным закатом, только здесь солнце садится прямо в океан. Персонал очень заботливый и внимательный. В номерах все есть. Пастельное белье было прям новое это видно и полотенца. Видно, что хозяева беспокоятся о гостях и о своем месте, а не просто зарабатывают деньги.
Подходит как на несколько дней так и на долгий период. Спасибо ребята, все было супер, вы молодцы.

L’emplacement est top, le reste laisse à désirer
Pros:

L’emplacement est top.

Cons:

Odeur forte désagréable dans la salle de bain, literie vétuste qui fait du bruit à peine on se tourne. L’établissement est en travaux on était clairement dans un chantier avec tous les ouvriers.
