Pros:

The staff was fantastic, incredibly attentive and kind. We really enjoyed the breakfast, and on our second day the staff prepared it very early in the morning so we could take away as we had to catch an early flight. Anything we needed was taken care of - my partner even got a nice haircut on the premises. Highly recommend Surf N Spice for the overall experience, staff, on-site restaurant and location.

Cons:

The room was very simple but it met my expectations and was great value. Nothing we didn't like and the excellent service more than made up for the fewer facilities.

Disappointed
Pros:

The location was very close to beach.

Cons:

The room was appalling. The bed had dead bugs all over it when we arrived & there was no mosquito net over the bed. There were gaps all around the doors to the balcony that allowed mosquitoes into the room.. The fan had only one speed which was too fast & noisy. We had to unpack on the floor as there was no luggage racks & no cupboard to store your belongings.
The bathroom had no vanity or benchtops & the shower had a very inefficient drain & nowhere to put your shampoo except floor..
The cafe at front seemed nice & staff were attentive & helpful but the hot food was cold by the time it reached us..
At $100 per night they are not good value for the money..

Pros:

Przepyszne śniadania!!! W cenie noclegu do wyboru były śniadania z karty. Najlepsze jakie jedliśmy do tej pory na Sri lance ☺️ Pokój przestronny, wielkie łóżko, czysto i przytulnie. Polecamy!!

Cons:

Budowa obok - przez co było dość głośno od 7:00. Dużo małp wokół więc nie skorzystasz za bardzo z balkonu bo praktycznie skaczą nad głową ☺️

Good Vibes, good food and a lot of monkeys
Pros:

The Breakfast was amazing! They put a lot of effort in the food and everything. Pretty cute! Thanks a lot. They also organized a scooter for me and everything was very chilled and easy-going. The cute dogs and monkeys playing on the roof every morning are the cherry on the top

Pros:

We werden hartelijk ontvangen met een drankje. De kamer was ook zeer ruim.

Cons:

We hadden het gevoel dat ze in een renovatie zaten, we hadden bijvoorbeeld bij een raam geen gordijnen. Uiteindelijk hebben ze dit wel kunnen oplossen.

Pros:

One of the best breakfasts in Sri Lanka at their café. The staff is very friendly and even recommended surfing with Noah, which we loved! The location is good, between the two beaches. They have two dogs, Surf and Spice. There’s no hot water, but it wasn’t a problem. We were able to leave our backpacks after checkout. The bed wasn’t as comfortable as in other hotels
