Mejorable para el precio que se paga
Cons:

Parte de las instalaciones podrían estar en mejor estado: Las baldas de madera del exterior estaban la mayoría sueltas y algunos tornillos salidos que podrían dañarte. La ducha nos dio problemas, pero en seguida nos lo solucionó parte del personal del hotel. El suelo del baño estaba sucio. La comida del restaurante es regular y con precios elevados para la zona. Muy buen desayuno pero pedimos un packlunch el día del check out porque nos íbamos antes del hotel y solo nos pusieron un sándwich de queso y tomate.

Beautiful exterior
Pros:

We stayed at this hotel for four nights and had a wonderful experience. The place is spotless, and the exterior is truly beautiful, with well-kept gardens and a lovely pool area. The staff were very kind and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Breakfast is not the typical Western style, but we quickly got used to it, and the fresh juices they prepare are simply amazing. Although it’s not right on the seafront, it is very close to the beach. We rented a tuk-tuk and found it super easy to get around the area. Overall, a fantastic stay that we would definitely recommend.

Pros:

Nette kleine Anlage... Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Das Chalet-Zimmer war groß und schön... Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt.

Cons:

Der Holzsteg bzw Holzweg der durch die Anlage führt sollte erneuert werden. Ansonsten alles in Ordnung.

Poco agradable.
Pros:

La decoración no estaba mal.

Cons:

Estaba más lejos de lo esperado y no es agradable el paseo hasta la playa. Las instalaciones no están bien mantenidas, maderas rotas, etc… muchos animales dentro del recinto, ranas en la habitación. El desayuno no estaba a la hora y unos días era bufet y otros no.

Lovely resort in leafy environment with beautiful pool.
Pros:

Layout of the hotel - courtyard rooms lots of greenery . Lovely pool. Good range of breakfast options different everyday in nice restaurant environment. Nilaveli beach close by beautiful unspoilt - take your own food /snacks only a couple of restaurants on the beach if you spending the day there. Tourists and locals use the beach which is a nice mix . Sea was heavenly ! Waves great fun .

Cons:

Food in restaurant was overpriced for lunch/ dinner and not the best . Better to get a tuk tuk if you don’t have transport and eat out across the main road . Lots of lovely and cheaper restaurants . Location is reasonable walk for beach (20mins) didn’t bother us easy enough to get a tuk tuk if too hot to walk .

Mi aspettavo qualcosa di meglio in rapporto al prezzo pagato. Rubinetto rotto in bagno, lavandino pi
Pros:

Te e caffè in stanza.

Cons:

Mancavano asciugamani per le mani. Troppo costoso per quello che offre rispetto ad altre strutture molto più economiche.

Mooie luxe lokatie dichtbij het strand
Pros:

We hadden een chalet met een vide waar de twee bedden voor de kinderen stonden. Comfortabele accommodatie en er ruim. Complex is mooi opgezet met ruim zwembad. Ligt op korte rijafstand of lang lopen bij het strand. Strand is wel minder mooi wij zijn een stukje gaan rijden en troffen veel betere plekken aan. Wel dichtbij de boten naar pigeon island voor het snorkelen en vanaf hier de kortste oversteek

Cons:

De planken van het pad zijn erg slecht, krom en kapot waardoor je moet oppassen met lopen. De pergola’s over de hele lengte van het pad zijn veel te laag voor een Nederlander waardoor je de hele tijd gebukt loopt van het chalet naar het restaurant. Het hotel zou de snorkeltrip geregeld hebben daar aangekomen was er niets bekend en hebben we het met enige vertraging zelf nog geregeld. Eten is aan de dure kant zeker voor Sri Lankaanse begrippen en zijn naar restaurant gegaan.

Pros:

Mooie tropische binnentuin en strategische plek voor diverse trips.

Cons:

Geen Europese standaard, stinkende badkamer met een aparte douche voor koud en voor warm water en rammelende airco. Wij waren luxe hotels gewend en zijn hier zodoende eerder weggegaan.
