Ein Ort um zu schwimmen und um zur Ruhe zu kommen
Pros:

Die Lage direkt am Strand war toll. Abends wird hier ein Feuer aufgestellt und man kann direkt am Strand essen. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an wohlgefühlt

Moment agréable en bordure d’une belle plage et proche d’un spot de plongée renommée.
Pros:

L’emplacement et la gentillesse et disponibilité du personnel

Cons:

Climatiseurs très bruyants, souci d’évacuation de douche et décoration un peu vieillotte et rudimentaire

Idyllische Anlage mit sehr freundlichem Personal.
Pros:

Die Mitarbeiter waren superfreundlich, aufmerksam und herzlich! Die Anlage ist sehr schön, die Lage ist super. Bodyboards standen zur freien Verfügung - das war super!

Cons:

Das Frühstück war eher durchschnittlich. Wir haben nach dem ersten Tag auswärts gegessen.

Leider hat das Bad nach dem Duschen unangenehm aus dem Abfluss gerochen. Das Personal hat sich auf Nachfrage aber sofort darum gekümmert.

Es wäre super, wenn es an der Strandbar auch Cocktails gegeben hätte. Dann hätte man abends auch länger verweilt.

Heerlijke locatie aan het prachtige strand van Nilaveli !
Pros:

Hotel met een fantastische ligging aan het prachtige strand van Nilavelli. Watersport faciliteiten vlakbij. Ongelooflijk vriendelijke staff ( handdoeken jongen , housekeeping en obers waren ongelooflijk) . ‘s avonds eten met de voetjes in het strandzand 🥰

Cons:

We hadden een suite duplex voor 4 personen . Het zetelbed was echt aan de kleine kant voor een kind van 8 en 11. Airco units aan de buitenkant van de kamers maken veel lawaai.

perfecto para disfrutar la playa
Pros:

situado delante de la playa, con habitaciones con una vista increíble. El bar de la playa, encima de la arena estaba muy bien y el personal muy amable

Cons:

Necesita alguna reforma. Te alquilan una habitación con jacuzzi y es una bañera que no se puede llenar porque el tapón está roto.

Tutto meraviglioso
Pros:

È un posto meraviglioso in riva al mare a Nilavelj. Non solo la spiaggia e la stanza vista mare sono davvero rilassanti ma ciò che fa la differenza è sicuramente lo staff: gentile, premuroso e sempre attento ai suoi ospiti. Prima di andare via ci hanno anche lasciato un piccolo souvenir da portare con noi. Ci ho lasciato un pezzo di cuore
