Great value for money
Pros:

Top class customer service. Always friendly, helpful, welcoming and polite. They welcome us with cold lemonade and allowed us to keep bags and use facilities beyond check in time. Breakfast was simple but very tasty.

Cons:

Air-conditioning noise- box right next to the window and bed. Ear plugs recommended.

Pros:

This is the perfect place for a rest when arriving after a long journey. Friendly helpful people working here. So close to the beach, to have a walk. Some nice restaurants on the beach where you could sit and watch the sunset.

Alt i alt et godt hotel. Bare man tjekker hvilken altanen man får.
Pros:

God beliggenhed. Dejlig pool og sødt personale.

Cons:

Meget lille lukket altan som var umulig at opholde sig på. Alt for indelukket, varmt og stødende.

Sin más, estancia de paso al aeropuerto
Pros:

La ubicación y la piscina, ya que la playa no estaba en condiciones para el baño.

Cons:

Podrían mejorar la limpieza en general. Ruido en las habitaciones debido a los extractores del aire acondicionado, bastante difícil descansar bien.

Perfect location, great stay.
Pros:

Location was fabulous, right on the beach and a good pool and surroundings, staff were helpful and friendly, organized taxi to airport at a very good rate.
Excellent location for restaurants, food store, atm, liquor store. Good size room, bathroom, ceiling fan and aircon. A had a private balcony overlooking tge pool and ocean. Price was cheap compared to others i looked at.
Certainly would stay there again.

Cons:

Would have liked a fridge, to keep drinks, but the bathroom sink filled with cold water did the job.

Perfect place to stay!
Pros:

The best hotel we have been to in Sri Lanka!
The staff is friendly and super welcoming! They offered us a juice drink when we arrived. The bedroom has air conditioning and a very nice terrasse with a table and chairs.
The bedroom is clean and confortable and the bathroom is very tidy.
It's a quiet and chill place to stay.
The dining area is always fresh and very pleasant. The swimming pool is clean and it's just so nice to relax on a sun bed and enjoy the pool on a hot weather!
Breakfast was good, you have the choice between fruits and juice and between toasts and eggs or pancakes.
They also have shuttle service to and from the airport, but we decided to book via pickme.
The location is great, in front of the beach, and just accross the main street with many nice restaurants.
After check-in, we could stay in the dining hall waiting for our taxi. Perfect place to stay with amazing equipments and great staff! Definitely recommend it!
