Rart og rolig sted med god beliggenhed og Pool.
Pros:

At omgivelserne og haven var rolige og afslappede. Poolen var også ren og ret stor.
Værelserne var rare at være i. Vi bookede et familie rum og fik en stor fælles stue.
Personalet og ejeren var afslappede, venlige og hjælpsomme.
Det var tæt på stranden, hvor man kunne bade.

Cons:

Det var hyggeligt med høns i haven, men vi kunne godt have undværet den meget galende hane. Om morgenen med jetlag efter en lang flyvetur fra Danmark.
Der lugtede der ikke så godt på toiletterne.

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..
Pros:

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.
