Das Bad war furchtbar
Pros:

Wir haben soweit alle Informationen bekommen

Cons:

Das Badezimmer ist wirklich eklig gewesen. Es war alles anderer als sauber und wirkte alt, kaputt und runtergekommen.
Wir haben uns deshalb so unwohl gefühlt, dass wir bereits nach einer Nacht ausgecheckt statt nach 6

Pros:

The room we had was very spacious with a nice balcony with a partial view of the sea. Everything in the bedroom was as shown in the images, so no complaints there. The person at the reception who checked us in, Miriam, was friendly and gave us all the information we needed.

The hotel has two advantages -
1. Their breakfast is complementary and it was fantastic! Definitely try the Sri Lankan breakfast
2. There's also a spa on-site with a discount for in-house guests so it was was quite convenient for us

The hotel is about 3-5 mins away from the main street of Ahangama so it's easily accessible but doesn't suffer from traffic or noise.

Cons:

Nothing as such.

Nothing!

Great place to stay. Highly recommended
Pros:

The location was great. Close to everything yet far enough away to be quiet. The room was lovely and the balcony private with a comfortable couch. The food was great and all the staff amazing. Such a bonus to have a wellness centre upstairs that you get discount too. Pictures on the website are accurate

Cons:

The bed was a little hard for me but I have found that everywhere in Sri Lanka.

Pros:

Great breakfast pool and room!

Cons:

The main door is locked at 10pm and apparently no guests are allowed even to visit which feels almost like a school hostel like!

Lugnt och trevligt ställe med bra läge
Pros:

Personalen, vänliga och serviceminded.

Cons:

Slitet hotell, behöver renoveras. Priset motsvarar inte standarden. En del saker i rummen och i offentliga utrymmen som inte fungerade.

Nice rooms and bar area. Good location for exploring nearby.
Pros:

The bar and restaurant staff were very friendly and it was a great place to relax. Handy location. Talented chef.

Cons:

Not particularly welcoming reception and no comments when we left ……
Some noisy guests in hotel and 10pm quiet time not enforced.
Breakfast was a bit mean, no juice or fruit plate included free as all other hotels (5) we stayed at in Sri Lanka.
