Pros:

We stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment which was very spacious and comfortable with good air-conditioning and a large fridge. Great quiet location but still within walking distance to restaurants,bars and beach. Pool was clean and great to cool off in with comfy sun loungers to relax on. Staff were friendly & helpful. Breakfast was good and plentiful. We enjoyed our stay here and would return again.

Cons:

Not a big deal just a suggestion but would have liked enough cups and spoons for our group of 7 and breakfast to be available earlier than 9am :-)

Lekker bij gekomen bij het zwembad..

We hadden een ruim verblijf met natuurlijke het zwembad. Het personeel was zeer hulpvaardig. Een mooi begin om kennis te maken met Sri Lanka. Wij zijn midden in de nacht aangekomen en ook dat was zeker geen probleem..😃

Basically ok but bit limited.
Pros:

Nice pool, location ok back from the main road so reasonably quiet. Spacious apartment albeit a bit dated/tired.

Cons:

Bit weird being the only tourists there - quiet season but no-one else for 2 days. No food or bar available. Had to pay cash.

Superb
Pros:

One of the best places we stayed at in SL. We stayed 3 nights and would defenitely come back again! The staff were so helpfull and welcoming, it felt like we were part of the family :) We enjoyed the pool and the very spacious rooms plus lovely garden were great for the kids to play around. Away from the main road which means quiet at night which is rare in SL, especially in the city. The host organised a lovely boat trip to the nearby lagoon and monkley island. Highly recommended!

Cons:

The fan in one of the rooms was making too much noise, but that should be sorted by now.
