Excellent hotel to stay and value for money.
Pros:

Amazing sea view and the swimming pool. You can just walk to/from the swimming pool to the sand beach. The staff are really good and helpful. Plenty of parking space in the hotel. We will visit again next time. Restaurant food was delicious.

Cons:

Restaurant was closed by 10.00pm, it should be open a bit longer.

Pros:

Lokalizacja - pierwsza linia przed oceanem
Jedzenie w restauracji- smakowało nam dorosłym oraz dzieciom
Wybrane osoby z personelu bardzo pomocne, udzielaǰące porad.

Cons:

Bałagan i brud wokół basenu i przy leżankach, tarasach. A
Zamontowanu płot przed wejściem do oceanu - trochę psuł widok, ale być może jest konieczny że względu na niektóre zwierzęta jak np. krowy

Hotel is rubbish - don’t go there
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Dirty - room and the whole premises.
The guy don’t speak English
The futon (in the family room) in a tiny mattress on a stone bench
They recommend a guy for snorkeling / boat tour / … who is very expensive. (55 000 roupies to go on pigeon island … we managed to do it for 20 000 roupies)
Restaurant is dull and gloomy
No bar
No hot water in the shower
The swimming pool is more for the diving center than the hotel - only 2 sunbeds.

Персонал внимательный, готовы решить любой вопрос.
Pros:

Останавливались на одни сутки, проездом. Объект удобно расположен,на первой линии. Есть бассейн, очень выручает , когда океан не спокоен. Свой ресторан, очень вкусно готовят и доступно по цене. Завтраки сытные. Территория большая. Рекомендую

Cons:

Минусов не обнаружили.

Nothing fanciful, appropriate value for money
Pros:

This is an excellent hotel if you know what to expect. It is indeed at the beach front, sitting in front of your room you hear the waves. There are showers outside on the property, so you can rinse yourself when returning from your morning swim. The hotel is located near the end of the beach, so it's quiet, but by no means deserted. The guys with the boats to pigeon island are just 100 meters to your right.Staff is courteous.

Cons:

It is indeed not a 5 star resort. Rooms aren't cleaned daily, stuff is old and in the evening a couple of cows wander on the premises, but everything seems to work. The restaurant is almost always deserted, but they do sell cold beer!

Pros:

L'emplacement est parfait
Au bord de la plage, proches d'écoles de plongée et de pigeon island
Entouré de restaurants.
La piscine est superbe de jour comme de nuit.

Cons:

Deux matelas simples accolés et très fins (on sentait le bois du lit..)
Très compliqué pour les repas. Un jour à 20h c'est bon, le lendemain le chef est rentré chez lui...
Pas d'eau fraîche au restaurant (quand on pense qu'il fait 29°..)
Petit déjeuner pas avant 8h alors que l'école de plongée est carrément dans le complexe hôtelier et commence à 8h aussi.. et même quand on vient à 8h car on essaie de s'arranger, ce n'est pas ouvert.
Bref 3 jours c'était un peu long

Aan het strand met heerlijk zwembad onder de palmbomen
Pros:

De locatie! We twijfelden vooraf om deze accommodatie te boeken, omdat de gemiddelde beoordeling niet heel hoog was, maar we zijn heel blij dat we hier wel naar toe gegaan zijn. De kamers zijn standaard, misschien een beetje verouderd, maar voor ons en onze twintigers helemaal prima. Maar de locatie was helemaal top. Pal aan het prachtige strand, heerlijk rustig, maar met toch genoeg horeca/reuring in de buurt voor gezelligheid en heerlijk dat er een zwembad is met uitzicht op zee. Het zwembad is in het echt veel mooier dan dat het op de foto's op booking.com lijkt. Hierna zijn we ook nog een paar dagen in Uppuveli geweest, ook leuk, maar erg toeristisch en massaal naar onze smaak, de relaxte sfeer van Nilaveli misten we daar.

Cons:

De kamers mogen wel wat opgeknapt worden.
