Pros:

Чудесный вид на море из номера. Сам номер неплох, но ничего необычного. В целом всё хорошо.

Cons:

На мой взгляд цена сильно завышена. Да, это Шри-Ланка, но за такие деньги практически в любой азиатской стране можно снять люксовые апартаменты со всякими там джакузи и окнами в пол на 30м этаже

Pros:

The room's view was spectacular & I was told it was the best room in the hotel.The staff were friendly & the food was tasty.

Cons:

It is an older hotel so there were some minor issues with heavy rain seeping through the window/door & small harmless bugs creeping in which isn't so bad as I've witnessed this at new hotels as well & it can be the norm in tropical countries.The bathroom was functional but the appearance as well as other minor concerns perhaps could be improved, as it is a beautiful location & a nice hotel other than that.

Pros:

Ocean view room was fantastic, getting both sunrise and sunset.

Cons:

Location is somewhat away from the main town but easily accessible via a TukTuk. The immediate beach is not as beautiful as other nearby ones.

A family group for a 10-day holiday.
Pros:

We were a family group in four rooms. We enjoyed having the beach and pool as options when we were relaxing and the location was a short tuk tuk (or motor scooter for those braver than me) to some great restaurants, bars, and cafes. Also close to spots for surfing L, snorkelling and other activities. The breakfasts were excellent and the staff very kind and professional.

Cons:

The water off the beach was quite murky compared to other places we swam although it was still lovely for a swim. One of the rooms smelled faintly of cigarette smoke. Ahungama generally was much more expensive than we expected which was probably due to the time of year - but was still a bit of a shock.

It was a successfull decision to take the accomodation at the Garton' s Cape Hotel. I'd like to
Pros:

My room had a spectacular sea-view, I mentioned this special request (to have a sea-view position); my request
was more than respected. From my balcony, it seemed that I saw the whole shore detail and the Ocean water.
The room was a quiet one, clean and safe.
The breakfast was as good as it's possible in the visited country, anyway acording to the Hotel Classification.
The Reception and Hotel Manager Head - Mr. Indika - is a very kind, instructed and rapid and deep understanding person.
Everything went excelent in this Hotel, so I will come again to be hosted here.
