Pros:

Es war sauber und das Anwesen sah von Aussen sehr gut aus.

Cons:

Als wir ankamen, war einer der Angestellten nicht sonderlich freundlich, lag vielleicht daran dass mein Mann ein Local ist. Danach mussten wir auch noch auf das Zimmer warten, da es nicht ready war, obwohl wir am späten Nachmittag ankamen. Unser Zimmer war sehr hellhörig, man hörte jeden Gast draussen im Flur so gut, dass man meinte die stehen direkt in unserem Zimmer. Das Bett war für uns auch nicht sehr komfortabel.

Piscina e posizione top, pulizia e pepe not!
Pros:

La piscina, fantastica.
La camera era molto spartana ma funzionale.
Posizione comodissima alla spiaggia.
Pochi minuti d auto dalla stupenda Uppuveli (per i locali).
Colazione abbondante ma occhio al pepeee!

Cons:

Per un problema di overbooking la prima notte ci hanno dovuto sistemare in un’altra struttura, sempre loro.
Scomodo perché la colazione e l’utilizzo piscina erano poi da fare da loro.
La pulizia della nostra camera era sotto la media, c’erano anche molte formiche, zanzare ed un mini rospo adorabile dentro… eravamo in una sorta di mini dependance piano terra in mezzo al verde quindi sicuramente è stato per questo.

Милый небольшой отель рядом с морем
Pros:

Прекрасный небольшой и недорогой отель в 5 минутах от моря. Ухоженная территория, чудесный, чистый бассейн. Было бы здорово, если бы вокруг него было больше лежаков. Но отель преображается с каждым днем, становясь все уютнее.
Вкусные завтраки и вообще блюда в ресторане очень вкусные, порции большие, а цена умеренная

Cons:

Было бы здорово повесить какие-то крючки в номере, а лучше шкаф, полочку в душе.

EXCELLENT !!!
Pros:

Emplacement calme,équipement parfait avecune grandepiscine,petit déjeuner local,copieux et trés bon.les repas pris sur place sont trés savoureux avec un rapport qualité prix très correct .

Cons:

Un détail...mais une amélioration des desserts serait la bienvenue car que des glaces.
L'activité "pigeon island" est trop chère pour un snorkeling relativement décevant ce qui ne remet en rien la qualité de l'hôtel.

Pros:

La posizione vicino alla spiaggia.
La piscina dell'hotel è molto bella.
Lo staff sempre disponibile e cortese.

Cons:

Le camere sono un pò piccole e buie. Il letto matrimoniale attaccato alla parete rende l'accesso poco pratico e manca lo spazio fisico per gestire i bagagli. Il bagno senza ventola e finestra rimane molto umido in quanto ad ogni doccia si allaga praticamente tutto e l'acqua impiega qualche minuto per defluire.

Just okay.
Pros:

As others have said it is quite nice.

Cons:

Very mean in supplies. 4 days- Tiny soap for two, one toilet paper, 2 small bottles if water in the room and no replenishment. The breakfast was too little and one small bottle Of water between two and also one small cup of tea each. I asked for a second cup and was told I had to pay! I find that incredibly mean for guests who have paid a decent amount. The room had the windows boarded up and no window or extractor in the bathroom. It could be good but owners be more generous. We cane from a wonderful hotel whose owner was generous and cared for visitors and compared to that hotel, in the same price range, you were nowhere.

Volveríamos sin duda
Pros:

Alojamiento al lado de la playa de Nilaveli, a pocos minutos andando. La habitación era sencilla pero muy cómoda y tenía todo lo necesario. Contaba con aire acondicionado y ventilador de techo. Él resto de instalaciones estaban muy cuidadas y la piscina era muy bonita y perfecta para refrescarse del calor. Destacar también la amabilidad del personal.

Pros:

New swimming pool

Cons:

첫번째 방 받았을때 무슨 이상한 오줌냄새 같은게 나서 방을 바꿨는데 또 비슷한 냄새가 났어요. 첫번째 방보다 괜찮아서 지냈는데 저녁에 천장 위에서 비둘기들이 걸어다닌걸 알고 그게 비둘기 똥 오줌 냄새구나라는걸 알았습니다. 첫번째날만 지내고 나머지 환불받았어요
