Il y avait vraiment beaucoup de fourmis dans notre chambre mais cest tout.

Хороший отель на берегу Нилавеллы
Pros:

Небольшой отель на берегу океана! Приятный персонал, помогали нам с туктуком и экскурсиями. Завтраки отличные! Прям вкусно
Рядом с отелем есть отличный дядечка, который возит на лодке на снорклинг - никаких ограничений по времени, ждет пока вы накупаетесь.
По отелю - все было в порядке! Да, это не самые новые номера, но никаких проблем не было)
А еще у них есть чудесная белая собачка - не забудьте ее покормить когда приедете!!

Cons:

Почему то не было вайфая, а когда появился - то работал ооочень медленно

Stunning location with a picture perfect beach , comfy rooms and a warm welcome
Pros:

What a fab place .
Really calm and quiet with direct access to the beach , loungers and pool on the beach pretty much .
Comfy beds , basic but very quiet and great a/c.
Plenty of hot water .
Breakfast really tasty .
Restaurant and bar on beach serving freshly bbq fish / chicken .
In comparison to Uppaveli this place is a total gem for quieter tourists.
Often we had the beach almost to ourselves .
The sea is super clean and clear and warm .
The staff were really helpful and friendly.

Cons:

Maybe the rooms could be cleaned daily but that seems to be an issue country wide in Sri Lanka hotels .
They were cleaned when we asked .

Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast at a reasonable price. Clean rooms. Great location by the beach. Nice big pool

Cons:

The shower head was broken and there was a bit of a foul smell in the bathroom. Luckily the bathroom in the other room we booked was ok. Lawn on mowed and has grown wild.

Great place to spend a few days by the beach, good for families and dog lovers 😊
Pros:

Nice place right on the beach, also has a pool. Breakfast was delicious Sri Lankan style. Cute and friendly dog family were entertaining 😍😍

Cons:

Mosquito nets and thicker blankets on the bed would have made the rooms optimally comfortable

Angenehmes gepflegtes Hotel mit traumhaftem Garten und wunderschönem Pool
Pros:

Ein grundsolides Beachhotel auf normale Niveau für Sri Lanka. Nettes Personal,super tolle gepflegte Anlage, gepflegter großer Pool,warme Dusche, gute AC,süße Hundis.

Cons:

Bitte Leute tut euch selbst den Gefallen und macht lieber Urlaub in Europa, wenn euch schon leichte Defekte, ein Fleck auf dem Laken oder ein fehlendes Geländer am Pool stören. Das Hotel ist gut und alle waren lieb und bemüht um uns.

Pros:

La spiaggia e il mare. Siamo stati praticamente tutto il tempo in spiaggia perchè la camera era tutto tranne che confortevole.

Cons:

Paghi troppo per quello che hai. Hotel vecchio, brutto e trasandato in tutto. Tenuto tutto male anche i lettini nella spiaggia e nella piscina. Prezzi del ristorante sulla spiaggia alti rispetto ad altri della zona.
Stanze e bagno da stenderci un velo pietoso. Lenzuola sporche o macchiate. Aria condizionata che faceva molto rumore durante la notte. Colazione a scelta da un meno e potevi scegliere solo una cosa.
Se venisse ristrutturato e poi tenuto bene, sarebbe un hotel stupendo.

Perfect spot on Nilaveli beach
Pros:

The staff was nice and always helpful.
The position is amazing, directly on the beach with a beautiful swimming pool that looks at the ocean.
The rooms are a bit old, but with Aircon: you can sleep hearing the sea!
The restaurant is a bit more expensive than other around, but it serves good food with a spectacular view.

Cons:

On the beach, place to relax
Pros:

It was on the beach. The welcome was good. The beach huts and situation were lovely. There was a garden to relax in.

Cons:

When being cleaned the pool water was pumped onto the beach.
The AC didn’t work and it took them ages before offering us another room for the night.
