Absolutely perfect!
Pros:

The property is beautiful, we had a beautiful room, the swimming pool is great. Staff are lovely, very helpful, they helped organise our safari tour and it was a great day out. But what is absolutely amazing is their chef! We had the best food ever at this resort, we love Sri Lankan food, but here we felt at a top restaurant. We recommend the sesame tuna, a Michelin star dish!

Perfekter Ausgangspunkt für Yala – Modern & Ruhig
Pros:

Ganz neues, modernes Hotel in ruhiger Lage mit sehr schönen Zimmern, gutem Frühstück und einem tollen Pool. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Die direkt über das Hotel gebuchte Yala-Safari war perfekt organisiert – wir hatten einen großartigen Fahrer und einen rundum gelungenen Tag im Nationalpark.
Absolut empfehlenswert!

Herzlich und es hat an nichts gefehlt!
Pros:

Wir haben uns in diesem familiengeführten Hotel von der ersten Minute an rundum wohlgefühlt. Es hat uns wirklich an nichts gefehlt. Alle waren unglaublich freundlich, herzlich und zuvorkommend.

Schon bei der Ankunft wurde uns sofort das Gepäck abgenommen und wir wurden herzlich empfangen. Der Pool ist wirklich toll – besonders unsere Kinder waren begeistert und konnten gar nicht genug davon bekommen.

Auch das Essen im Hotel war ausgesprochen lecker und hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

Ein besonderes Highlight war die vom Hotel organisierte Safari-Tour in den Yala-Nationalpark. Unser Fahrer Channa war einfach der Beste! Er war sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und hat uns einen unvergesslichen Tag ermöglicht. Wir haben unglaublich viele Tiere gesehen und dabei wunderschöne Eindrücke gesammelt.

Alles in allem können wir dieses Hotel absolut empfehlen. Die herzliche Atmosphäre, der tolle Service und die familiäre Gastfreundschaft haben unseren Aufenthalt zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

Pros:

Perfecte hotel voor onze safari in Yala. Het hotel regelde de excursie perfect tegen een schappelijke prijs. De andere momenten genoten we van het mooie zwembad, het lekkere eten en het zicht op de dieren (apen, vogels, ...) die we uit de tuin van het hotel konden zien.

Pros:

Fin dall’arrivo siamo stati accolti davvero positivamente da tutto lo staff. La stanza molto bella e pulita, nonostante la struttura sia accanto al fiume, non abbiamo trovato alcun insetto. La piscina bella e confortevole. Per la cena c’è un’ampia scelta di piatti.

Cons:

Assolutamente nulla!

Pros:

La struttura migliore dove abbiamo soggiornato durante la nostra vacanza. Abbiamo cenato lì e il cibo era buono, la camera meravigliosa, ampia e pulita. I ragazzi dello staff sono molto gentili e cordiali, soprattutto Sasha la ragazza in reception e il ragazzo che sta in sala pranzo, entrambi bravissimi. Prezzo un po’ sopra la media ma ci sta vista la qualità della struttura
