Not worth the money, stay close to the beach. We didn’t enjoy our stay and had no room service. Breakfast was bad.
Pros:

The place looked nice.

Cons:

No room service
Staff was hard to find
Breakfast was bad
It was far from the beach
The bar, a selling point of the property was empty, the pool table on a room with water all on the floor.
It is not as it is advertised

Ruhige sehr schön gestaltete Anlage mit tollem Pool.
Pros:

Sehr stylisches und komfortables Hotel. Der Garten ist schön tropisch neu bepflanzt, der Pool wunderbar, die Bar optisch toll und die Wege neu angelegt. Wir hatten ein sehr gut eingerichtetes Chalet, alles war europäisch sehr ordentlich verbaut und sehr sauber. Wir haben die Ruhe, den Pool und den Standard sehr genossen. It dem Tuk Tuk kommt man für wenig Geld an den Strand. Auch weil wir uns naturbelassene unverbaute Küste wünschen, buchen wir solche Hotels. Zum Frühstück gab es Pancake, grosse Obstplatte, Omlett, Brot, Juice und warme Sachen. uns hat es sehr gut gefallen.

Not good, just pretty for the pictures and expensive for nothing.
Pros:

The area around the pool was very pretty, the rooms were good enough. The hotel promised a lot and delivered very little. The employees were very friendly and always tried to help

Cons:

Supposedly there was a bar by the pool but they only offered beer and drinks. The rooms had a very bad smell. The breakfast was also very mediocre. In my opinion the hotel seems to be just pretty for the pictures. It is definitely way too expensive.

Pros:

The room and breakfast were nice, aircon was working very well, the grounds were nice and clean, there is a small gym and pool table.

Cons:

The pool was not clean on our first few days, you need a car to get to beach or restaurants. Sometimes there is some smell from the nearby farms (nothing the hotel can do about it). It is a bit expensive.

Pros:

The staff was nice. The closest beach was far by feet but easy by tuk tuk and really beautiful. Comfortable swimming pool.

Cons:

The bathrooms were really old. And the price - high for what you get. No real window in the bedrooms

Buenas áreas comunes, las habitaciones (y baños) tienen margen de mejora.
Pros:

Las áreas comunes están muy bien, la zona de la piscina y el restaurante muy bien, la comida es buena!

Cons:

Las habitaciones, pese a estar bien, necesitan una reforma, sobretodo en la zona del baño.
Pese a recordar al staff que limpiase nuestra habitación, no lo hizo en toda la estancia. El suelo deba miedo verlo, hormigas, varias cucarachas aparecieron y tuvimos muchas ranas! Había ranas en el baño y una nos saltó en la cama mientras dormíamos.
El servicio es muy mejorable para el precio que se paga

Un hôtel agréable
Pros:

Nous avons apprécié la nourriture, c’était très bon comparé à certains endroits où nous avons mangé au Sri Lanka.
Le service était super, et les salariés très gentils.
J’ai eu le droit à une fête privée pour mon anniversaire de la part de tout le personnel , adorable.

Cons:

L’odeur dans les chambres avec les remontées d’eau était vraiment désagréable.
La salle de bain doit vraiment avoir un coup de neuf, parce que c’est limite.
Autant de tapis dans la chambre me dérange je ne trouve ça pas hygiénique surtout qu’il n’y a pas de chaussons proposés.
La piscine était très trouble les 3 premiers jours, mais elle a été nettoyée à la fin, dommage.
Les transats à la piscine doivent vraiment être changés , ils sont cassés et au moins a nettoyer des .. d’oiseau.

For this high amount of money I would definitely book another accommodation.
Pros:

The facilities as well as the pool were nice and the staff was very kind as well as helpful. Furthermore, the AC worked very well.

Cons:

The wifi didn’t work at all even though we asked the staff several times. As you can see in the pictures, the bathroom was a catastrophe - it wasn’t cleaned properly and in desperate need of renovation. All in all, the price was way too high for what we got.

Bardzo przyjemne otoczenie, ale komfort pokojów za niski.
Pros:

Ośrodek jest nowy, zadbany, pokoje były czyste i wszystko w nich działało.

Cons:

Dostaliśmy pokój, którego patio wychodziło na schody, po których kursowali ludzie w dół i w górę. W ten sposób nie mieliśmy żadnej prywatności. Nie tak to wyglądało na zdjęciach i nie taki pokój zarezerwowałem. Ten pokój kosztował tyle samo, co inne..
Pokoje na 3 os były za małe. Brakowało nam miejsca. Mikroskopijne łazienki - bardziej pasujące do taniego pensjonatu, niż do resortu.
