Excellent location, great facilities, and really well looked after.
Pros:

The rooms were very modern and the whole place from the pool to the dining area was kept immaculate by the staff. The location is great for the beach and all of the good restaurants in this area. We ate somewhere different each day and never had to walk further than 10 minutes. Egg dishes in the morning were great. We'd definitely stay again if we came back here and would definitely recommend this part of town over Hikkaduwa beach area as it was significantly nicer and more relaxed. The beach here is also better and this is the better end of that beach (in our opinion at least!). Seaview room had a nice balcony for chilling out in the breeze and indulging in a bit of people/traffic watching. It's not a seafront hotel, so you can't see the beach etc, but if staying again I reckon the upgrade was worth it.

Cons:

It didn't bother us as we're not light sleepers, but any hotel on this strip is going to get noise at night from the road (Sri Lankan buses love to honk at 1am) and the nearby train track. It seems the "Vibration hotel" a few doors down also lives up to its name on a Friday! It's all part of staying this close to the beach, but worth knowing if that kind of thing bothers you.

We had breakfast included and whilst the egg dishes were super tasty, the Sri Lankan breakfast was really disappointing compared to our other hotels. Possibly as we were staying during the fuel crisis and it seemed like a lot of places had shortages/had been hit by far fewer tourists than normal for this time of year. Enough variety for 2-3 days, but if we stayed a similar length again (6 nights) we'd probably go pay-as-you-eat if it was cheaper and try some of the other options on that road.

A slice of paradise that we will definitely be going back to. A wonderful place to stay.
Pros:

Temptation is a bit of paradise in Hikkaduwa. Hidden gem of a building with beautiful flowers that climb the inside balconies and walls.
From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and comfortable. The ice cold fruit juice after a long flight and taxi ride was so welcomed!
The room was always cleaned to a great standard and the bed was comfortable- we slept so well each night.
Breakfast was delicious. Good choice and high standard.
The staff are great:friendly and accommodating and work so hard at what they do.
Location wise: you are in the heart of some of the best places to eat/ drink and across the road from the beach. Whilst on the A2 road, traffic noise was not an issue.
The manager is great and was able to organise anything we needed. He even gave us a small gift on our departure.

Cons:

Our only negative was unrelated to the hotel itself. I can’t fault that, but the neighbouring hotel ‘Vibration ‘ Friday night party was incredibly loud - music until the early hours. Noise cancelling headphones / earplugs may help? It was only an issue on that one night.

Замечательный отель
Pros:

Отель великолепный. Понравился современный дизайн, чисто и ухоженно абсолютно везде. Номер красивый с террасой. На террасе есть сушилка для вещей. Два больших шкафа, удобная большая кровать с балдахином. В душе есть все необходимое: гели мыло шампуни, хороший мощный фен. В целом, постарались сделать ремонт максимально герметичным, чтобы не образовывалась плесень от влажности и не было насекомых, за это спасибо большое! Все здание отеля в деревьях и цветах, подстриженный и ухоженный газон при входе - очень красиво! Видно как персонал заботится об этом месте. Уборка в номере каждый день, если хотите, но можно и просто поменять полотенца и взять две бутылки воды. Пляжные полотенца предоставляют. Завтраки по меню - готовят разные виды яиц, авокадо тосты, гранолу с орехами и фруктами, одно блюдо на выбор, так же можно выбрать чайник чая или кофе. Всегда к завтраку подают сок из микса фруктов - очень вкусный. Капучино, американо и тд оплачивается дополнительно. До пляжа через дорогу две минуты, магазины фруктов, лавки сувениров, рестораны до всего можно дойти пешком. Мы даже ходили пешком до черепашьего пляжа, но кто не любит ходить всегда есть тук-тук.

Cons:

В номере, в раме зеркала завелись термиты и они грызли потихоньку эту раму, короче сыпалось с зеркала немного. Мы закрыли на это глаза, но это для персонала.

Gepflegtes Hotel mit viel Blumen nähe vom Meer.
Pros:

Das Zimmer war toll, auf zwei Stockwerken. Nachteil war, dass Bad/WC im 1. Stock gelegen sind. Da Zimmer im 3. Stock war, hatte es tolle Aussicht bzw. Meersicht. Frühstück war gut aber nicht allzu reichlich.

Cons:

Das Frühstück dürfte etwas reichhaltiger sein
