Pros:

The staff was super friendly, starting from the reception, the guard, Nimali in the dining area. I got a cabana room and it was quite big and comfortable, the location is good in the midle of Hikkaduwa beach and lots of nice places to eat around or to surf.

Cons:

Buffet breakfast could be improved both for variety and quality.

Just come here………you won’t regret it.
Pros:

Wow. From the moment we arrived the staff were incredible. My wife was amazed receiving an individual greeting from each of the reception staff wearing tradition dress.
During our stay we befriended most of the staff as well as management and the owner.
Everyone went out of their way to make us comfortable.
The rooms were clean and the restaurant was fantastic.
The location cannot be beaten. Step out the back onto a perfect beach.
Step out the front for cafes and noise and fun.
Special mentions to Chanuka, Iresha and Nimali who were just fantastic.
We will definitely be returning here, hopefully with our family as well.
Thank you all again.

Cons:

It’s a minor criticism but I feel that they should have a selection of Sri Lankan dishes on their otherwise wonderful menu.

Пляж

Отношение. Лицемерие. И ложь. Они постят 40 кв, там макс - 15. Говорят номеров нет, но вдруг появляются
Уровень 3. Не остановлюсь точно.
