Pros:

Anyone staying here should eat at lamprais.galle, an amazing place where a 5 star chef cooking amazing lamprais and other Sri Lankan specialties in his home with some of the best service we had on our trip. A 10 minute walk from the hotel and incredibly cheap!

Taavetti's staff were very accommodating and the facilities were great.

Cons:

If you want Sri Lankan food, there are better, cheaper options outside the hotel and beach club
