A Movie.
Pros:

This place truly exceeded my expectations. What started as a short stay turned into more than eight days, simply because of how comfortable and welcomed I felt. During a difficult time when my country was at war, the kindness and generosity shown to me here meant more than words can express. They didn’t just provide a place to stay—they extended genuine care and support when it mattered most.

Because of that, this hotel now holds a very special place in my heart. I’m deeply grateful and would highly recommend it to anyone looking not just for comfort, but for humanity.

Cons:

It had only one option of breakfast.

Дорого, но того стоит.
Pros:

Персонал очень заботливый. Менеджеры отлично справлялись со своей работой. Завтраки были неплохими, но и не из разряда фантастики. Свежевыжатые соки были сильно разбавлены водой. Мы брали шале с видом на океан, он единственный там и ближе всего к пляжу. На пляже есть неплохие кафешки из них выделю The Coctail. Так же на тук туке можно добраться до хороших ресторанов Cactus и RedBeach. Там адекватный ценник. В самом ресторане при отеле ужинали только 1 раз, цены так себе. Сам пляж великолепен. Безлюдно. Однако имейте ввиду сильное обратное течение в океане именно в этом месте. Нас с дочкой чуть не унесло, было страшновато.

Cons:

Очень дорогое проживание по сравнению со всеми местами на Шри Ланке, где мы были. Да место того стоит, но все таки не 950 долларов за 4 ночи. Также отмечу отвратительную звукоизоляцию в номере. Слышно каждый шорох из соседнего номера, кто это проектировал?

Sehr schönes Hotel direkt am traumhaften Strand

Uns hat es in dieser Unterkunft sehr gut gefallen. Der Strand mit Strandrestaurants liegt ein paar Schritte entfernt. Auch in nächster Umgebung gibt es traumhafte Strände. Unser Gastgeber, Prasad, war sehr nett. Das Frühstück war auch sehr gut und wurde serviert.

Cons:

Nichts

A Hidden Coastal Gem in Down South of Sri Lanka
Pros:

A relaxing and memorable stay in a beautiful beachside setting. And the resort was peaceful and beautifully designed. The pool area was stunning, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Food and the local produce was very well presented. And the staff always went extra mile when we needed anything.

An unforgettable beachfront experience!!!

Pros:

Местоположение

Cons:

Грязный бассейн. Вода не фильтровалась , а только из шланга добавляли до нужного уровня. Завтраки. ( Каждый день пережаренная яичница и сосиски , которые не съедобные.) Даже не подавали воду на завтрак. Акустика в номерах отсутствует. Было слышно каждое слово за стеной и вздохи всю ночь пары геев. Цена завышена на 50 % от реальной. Когда я попросила бутылку воды , которая в магазине стоит 120 рупий, то мне принесли счёт на 790 рупий. Это ужасно.

Pros:

We stayed for two nights in this hotel. It was one of the best experiences of our trip. The attention of the staff is unbeatable, the rooms are very large and the cleanliness is 10. It is in front of the sea and the views are spectacular.
If you travel to Tangalle it is an obligatory stop.

Disappointing. Careless service. Value for money was low. Felt tricked by the really good pictures.
Pros:

Location is 10/10. The beach where it's located is still raw and beautiful.
The rooms have good areas.

Cons:

Stayed for 4 nights.
Service is poor. There's no intent from the property to elevate service to the level the property and its location deserve.
Breakfast is sloppy. Kitchen service is outdated and limited. There's a bar close to the pool but no one to operate it.
The first pool towels we were given were old and had tears and rips.
There were some speakers to provide background music in the restaurant area as well as as the pool area. Both cheap and low-end.
Value for money is disappointing.

Pros:

Praasad était très attentionné
La proximité à la plage, qui était quasiment déserte
Reste proche de Hireketiya en taxi/tuk tuk
La tranquilité et les chambres spacieuses et très confortables

Cons:

Le petit-déjeuner n'est vraiment pas spécial
Plus éloigné des hot spots et donc moins d'offre/plus cher en termes de restaurant (mais je recommande The Cocktails qui est à quelques pas)
