Pros:

C'était parfait, bien mieux que ce nous avions imaginé. Des notre arrivée, nous avons été séduit par l'accueil du propriétaire et de son personnel. L'hôtel est idéalement situé pour accéder à toutes les plages des environs. Les tarifs des tuk-tuk sont au moitié du prix de ceux de Mirissa ou Weligama.
La chambre était spacieuse, propre et climatisee.
Nous avons profité de la cuisine, qui est dans la partie commune. Un grand plus, pour changer du restaurant et faire de grosses économies.
Cet hôtel est le meilleur rapport qualité-prix que nous ayons eu au Sri Lanka.
Nous restons plus longtemps que prévu initialement, tellement nous y étions bien. Merci et bravo

Pros:

I loved our time at Island house! The house is huge and surrounded by green fields which was lovely to wake up to. The room was super spacious and we had a huge balcony. The owner was so kind and helpful and made it super easy to rent a scooter for a great price. We also loved the staff everyone was very friendly. It’s a 10 min ride to hiriketiya which was perfect for us because it was nice and quiet. It’s also right across from the beach! Really recommend!
