Ok, under forventet
Pros:

Beliggenhet, store rom, hyggelig personal

Cons:

Ustabilt internett og aircondition. Maur og mygg på rommet. Ble matforgiftet, sannsynligvis av maten fra hotellets restaurant (hadde kun spist der de foregående 36 timene før sykdom).

Decent location and amazing staff but the place needs to be renovated.
Pros:

The room was spacious and the pool area was lovely. The staff were amazing and couldn’t be more helpful.

Cons:

The pictures on booking.com are old. The place js pretty run down now and the “gym” was nothing like the pictures. It also states “beachfront” but you cannot access the beach as it is just dangerous rocks.

Pros:

Insgesamt schöner Aufenthalt mit zwei Pools mit toller Aussicht auf das Meer!

Cons:

Die Einrichtung im Hotel war abgesehen von der Lobby etwas veraltet. Das Fitness Studio hatte Schimmel an den Wänden und im Zimmer war die Balkontür nur sehr schwer zu öffnen.

Pros:

Fine store værelser med udsigt til både pool og hav. Vi fik et værelse i stueplan med stor terrasse og direkte udgang til poolen, det var dejligt. Venligt personale og dejlig mad i restauranten.

Cons:

Der var for få parasoller ved poolen. Vi havde ved bookingen anmodet om at få to værelser ved siden af hinanden, da der ikke var familieværelser og vi var afsted med vores piger på 11 og 14 år. Dette blev til vores skuffelse ikke imødekommet og vi fik værelser meget langt fra hinanden på forskellige etager, hvilket var lidt utrygt.

Härlig pool
Pros:

Poolen och stort rum, bra frukost för både vuxna och barn. Personalen var trevliga och tillmötesgående.

Cons:

Ett stort minus är att man inte hade lagt in en mosquito plug-in i vårt rum, vilket vi hade på alla våra boenden i Sri Lanka, så första natten blev vi uppätna av mygg trots att ac och takfläkt var på. Men när vi påtalade om detta fick vi en plug-in till rummet.
