I16 nights…too short!! I can’t wait to come back!
Pros:

Lovely establishment. I have stayed with this proprietor 10 times out of 13 trips to Sri Lanka, in various of their locations, but this is my second stay at this resort. The rooms are spacious, excellent Aircon and an extra ceiling fan, tho I didn’t need it. There is lots of closet space and a good safe for your money, cards, passport jewelry etc
With my room I have an outdoor kitchen, coffee table and chairs, and a dining table for six on my own private balcony. The bird song is beautiful. There was a huge pool which I enjoyed. The grounds are luscious and the jasmine plants smell divine. The wildlife is a pleasant sound to drift off or wake up to and surprisingly, as it is a jungle area resort, I didn’t have one bug in my room, not even a fly!
The bed was huge and comfy, homelike, and theres a very good mosquito net.
The breakfasts are lovely and I do enjoy my food at Ransi’s. I particularly love the toast and the choice of jams (the bread is excellent) eggs etc, a choice of 4 breakfast, if I remember correctly, and a freshly brewed pot of coffee from a cafetiere, made with real Sri Lanka/ceylon coffee.
I have been home two days and totally missing the place already.
Ransi is adorable and if you’re lucky enough to stay in her establishment, you have to try her jackfruit curry…best curry I’ve lasted in my whole life..no joke!
I Ransi, Philip and the boys are such a lovely family and it’s a pleasure to stay with them. They completely leave you alone to get on with your holiday as you please, they have security at the door all night. They have a sweet Doberman who is so mild, and loves to have a leaf in his mouth all the time 😀 he’s a good extra security.

Cons:

Nothing!!

Definitely not paradise.
Pros:

Big rooms with clean facilities.

Cons:

The hotel felt more like a warehouse and wasn't very welcoming. You had to walk through a storage hallway that opened onto the kitchen area to get to the breakfast seating. The hotel was quite far up a narrow road and it was a bit of a trek from Unawatuna beach (particularly during rain showers). The pool was very shallow and wasn't very warm or clean. We wouldn't recommend this hotel.

Fijn plekje op rustige locatie maar dichtbij centrum/strand
Pros:

Rustig gelegen op de heuvel tussen het groen maar toch maar 5-10 minuten lopen naar het centrum en strand. Ruime kamers en schoon. Prima ontbijt. Fijn zwembad.

Erg genoten
Pros:

Ze hadden voor ons een pick up geregeld vanuit het vliegveld waar we vroeg in de ochtend landden. Daarna bij het hotel konden we meteen de kamers in (9 uur). Dit was erg fijn voor ons. De kamers had alles wat het nodig had. Het personeel was ook echt heel aardig en wilde met alles helpen. Daarnaast was het ontbijt ook erg lekker en keuze uit verschillende soorten. Wij waren met 8 personen en dit stond snel op tafel.

Cons:

De gordijnen lieten heel veel licht door

I recommend it to everyone!
Pros:

The hotel is located in the jungle, between two beaches - Jungle Beach and Unawatuna. Friendly hosts, interesting green area. Swimming pool. Huge, well-stocked rooms, lots of towels.
At our request, a transfer to the airport was arranged.

Cons:

It is necessary to clean up the garbage daily.

Not a Hotel, More of a Room in a Family Run Establishment
Pros:

- The room is self-contained and you have access to a kitchen, which is useful.
- The bed was very clean and comfortable.
- The kitchen staff were very kind and attentive.
- Good location out of the centre (20 minute walk to the restaurants) and 10 minutes from the beaches.
- Breakfast was delicious.
- There is a pool but I did not use this.

Cons:

- It felt like I was staying in someone’s house not a hotel.
- No reception on arrival and there was no area that you could sit in other than the room itself. The kitchen area was used by the family and their guests and the lounge (which you have to go through to leave the rooms) had other people sleeping on the sofa or watching TV, which made me feel a bit out of place!
- The chairs in the room are dirty and could do with a clean.
- The rugs on the concrete floor are dangerous and should be glued down or removed.
- Towels were not all clean but could be easily changed.
- The bathroom floods as there is no quick drainage and it is a wet room.
- The utensils and equipment in the kitchen (in the room) are old and dirty and there is no tea or coffee provided.

Spacious rooms, great breakfast and a super pool.
Pros:

I very much enjoyed my stay. Ransi was the perfect host. Location is handy for jungle beach and Unawatuna ‘village’ where most of the restaurants and shops are. Room was spacious and clean and there was plenty of choice for breakfast. I loved the pool too!
