Highly memorable stay in a beautiful & design hotel
Pros:

This has to be one of my most memorable stays from Booking.com.

Maria (the owner) created this fabulous place, nestled in a quiet area of Ahangama, with such good taste. Everything is well thought of, and every detail contributes to creating this unique atmosphere in Maro Garden where you immediately feel at home. Just as in the pictures, it is really beautiful, and energetic, and the 4 rooms only of the property allow for a quiet environment.

Also, Maria herself cooks a different breakfast menu everyday, that is so tasteful and original. She is always ready to have a good chat about anything, and she is such a joyful person.

I would 200% stay here again, and can only recommend to anyone staying in Ahangama to stay at Maria’s Maro Garden!

Thanks again Maria for making it so special!

Cons:

Literally nothing.

Unique experience and absolutely the best :)
Pros:

We loved this place very much! Everything was just perfect and unforgettable --- the artistic and beautiful gardening, the stylish and clean room, the lovely pool and dining area, and, the wonderful Mariya :) Things are only beyond your expectation here, Mariya cooks amazing breakfast, with thoughtful design and a warm heart. The arrangements in the room are also very considerate, even with toothbrushes, shower sponge and slippers, which are not offered in general in SriLanka.

We loved the plants of the garden, the lighting of the room, and specially, the wise & sweet conversation we had with Mariya.

Highly recommended to everyone who is searching for uniqueness. Mariya and her aesthetic philosophy will not disappoint you in any aspect. And "feeling like home" is just a basic compliment to this place---- we felt impressed, refreshed, filled with good energy and enlightened by lovely humankind.

Cons:

nothing :)

haut de gamme mais comme à la maison
Pros:

- J’ai beaucoup aimé le design de l’hôtel. La chambre est orientée vers le jardin tout en gardant l’intimité. Ça été un réel plaisir de se réveiller face à tant de verdure.
- La terrasse à côté de la piscine était hyper fraîche et agréable. C’est un réel atout de pouvoir s’y rafraîchir.
- On se comme à la maison, car Maria l’hôte était très accueillante et chaleureuse. J’ai beaucoup aimé nos conversations.
- Le petit-déjeuner était exceptionnel, quel plaisir de retrouver des croissants après deux semaines au Sri Lanka

Ein wunderschöner Rückzugsort im Grünen
Pros:

Maria ist eine sehr charismatische, präsente Gastgeberin und kümmert sich persönlich um ihre Gäste. Ich hatte während des Aufenthalts Geburtstag und sie hat den Tisch extra mit Blumen geschmückt und sogar einen Kuchen gebacken – vielen Dank nochmal! Der Pool ist toll, umgeben von hohen Bäumen, in denen die Affen umherspringen. Die Zimmer sind sehr stilvoll und gemütlich mit wunderschönem Blick ins Grüne. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls sehr lecker :)

Incroyable !
Pros:

Je ne sais même pas par où commencer tant ce séjours à Maro Garden était incroyable !
L’emplacement est idéal, à 10min maximum en tuk tuk du centre de Ahangama, au calme loin de l’agitation de la ville.
Les chambres sont spacieuses, très propres, très bien décorées avec un soucis du détail. Tout le mobilier est beau, tout est parfaitement choisi pour une ambiance harmonieuse et chaleureuse.
La piscine et très agréable tout comme le « coin » petit déjeuner. Les petits déjeuners d’ailleurs sont tellement bons ! Tout est préparé le matin à la minute et c’est divinement bon !
Mais ce qui fait le charme et le « plus » de cet hôtel c’est vraiment sa propriétaire Maria ! Une hôte d’une gentillesse et d’une bienveillance extrême, qui fait tout pour que vous vous sentiez comme à la maison. Et c’est le cas !
Merci pour ce séjour Maria et à bientôt en Provence :)

Cons:

Devoir partir :(
