Will not recommend to anyone ever!
Pros:

Food was terrible
Rooms and stairway not clean enough
Soap wasn’t available

Cons:

Comfort
Customer service
Dishes weren’t cleaned out after dinner served until next day
Couldn’t even get tea or coffee so we had to get rid of breakfast altogether
No effort to provide tea or coffee from elsewhere apparently the machine was broken!

Good property, location, amazing beach & definitely value for money. The property is old and requires maintenance.
Pros:

Beach access and great location to all nearby attractions, cafés and beaches

Cons:

The shower in our room was not functional and upon requesting the staff to change the room they offered us a lower category room stating that was the only one available. We didn’t change the room because of our room was beach facing! They didn’t offer to repair / change the shower during 2 days of our stay.

Top locatie!
Pros:

Hele goede plek met direct toegang tot het mooie zandstrand. Strandbedjes en bodyboards staan klaar en kunnen gewoon gebruikt worden. Hiriketiya ligt op 5min tuktuk of 15min lopen van het hotel wat prima te doen was. Kamer zelf was netjes en vriendelijk personeel.

Cons:

Geen wifi op de kamer.

Wonderful!
Pros:

We loved the hotel! The location is superb, away from the busy hirikitiya beach but still a short tuktuk ride away. The hotel is right on the beach and they offer bodyboards for guests to use. Great with kids who felt right at home. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The room is great. Very highly recommended!!!

Cons:

I would like the music in the restaurant to be in lower volume, but it's not that bad. Also the mattresses aren't great, but similar to other hotels in sri lanka.

Heerlijk verblijf direct aan ze voor een ontspannen tijd.
Pros:

Ligging direct aan zee met mooie ligbedden en overdekte hutjes.
Fijne tuin met veel palmbomen.
Gratis bodyboards om op de golven te surfen.
Schommel op het strand.
Schone kamer met fijne kingsize bedden, inclusief frisse klamboe.
Dichtbij Hiriketiya waar je leuke restaurantjes hebt.

Cons:

Hoeveelheid honden op de accommodatie. 3 waren van het resort zelf maar dit trok ook straathonden aan welke onvoorspelbaar waren.
Sommige personeelsleden spraken slecht Engels en hingen maar wat aan de bar met hun telefoon. Andere waren erg attent en konden prima Engels.

Molto bello
Pros:

Posizione fantastica e staff molto gentile
Camere ampie e carine, manca forse qualche piccolo dettaglio come luci sul comodino per leggere. Per il resto struttura bellissima e giardino meraviglioso

Great chilled out place, beach front and relaxing
Pros:

This property was peaceful and totally beach front with great views. My family really enjoyed the lounges by the beach and the beach bar service from very good staff. Best coffee we had on our trip.

Cons:

Nothing to complain of. The aircon didn’t work in one of our rooms but they quickly moved us rooms.
