Ruhiges Hotel mit schönen Pool am nahen Traumstrand
Pros:

Besonders zu erwähnen ist der tolle große Pool und die Ruhe. Wir haben beides sehr genossen. Die Bungalows (insgesamt nur 4 Stück) sind gut ausgestattet, uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Das Freiluftbad ist sehr groß und schön gestaltet. Das Restaurant ist offen und bietet ein schmackhaftes Frühstück. In der Nähe gibt es eine Handvoll Restaurants. Zum tollen Strand läuft man max. 10 Minuten. Der Strand ist einzigartig schön und ruhig, zum Schwimmen aber durch die oft sehr starke Brandung gefährlich. Es gibt aber durch Felsen geschützte Bereiche, wo man gut baden kann. Für lange Strandwanderungen ist der Strand sehr gut, für kleine Kinder ggf. nicht so gut geeignet. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen.

Cons:

Das Restaurant im Hotel ist sehr hochpreisig. Ansonsten alles gut.

Bis auf die Störungen sehr schön.
Pros:

Traumhafte Anlage. Toller Pool. Sehr privat.

Cons:

Bei unserem Aufenthalt war es Nachts an mehreren Abenden sehr unruhig, weil ein paar Party People Disco gemacht haben. Das hat nicht zu der ansonsten ruhigen Lage und unseren Erwartungen gepasst. Freundliches Bitten hat nicht dauerhaft für Ruhe gesorgt.

Tolle Anlage
Pros:

Neue Anlage, wunderschöner großer Pool. Nettes Personal. Zimmer absolut sauber, geräumig, neuwertig. Ein paar nette Restaurants in der Umgebung, Natur wunderschön, nachts sehr ruhig.

Cons:

Am Pool fehlen Sonnemschirme. Offenes Badezimmer bedeutet Wildlife ... wir hatten ein paar Frösche. Auf Anfrage wurden diese entfernt (eher kurzfristiger Nutzen, es gibt dort mehr als genug) 😀. Das Restaurant war geschlossen, dies wurde erst bei Anreise mitgeteilt. Leider 2 Abende (unangenehm) betrunkene Personen in der Lobby/Bar (Bargäste).

Pros:

Lovely staff and fabulously designed villas with a striking open air bathroom. Amazing full length was the extremely well received the end of a hot day. Breakfasts were also very nice

Cons:

The extra fee for use of the canoe, which wasn’t clear from the booking information.

Paradisiaque
Pros:

Le lieu est incroyable, la piscine est magnifique et les chambres aussi ! Il n’y a que 4 « bungalows » privés donc l’ambiance est très calme et intimiste. Le personnel est aux petits soins et les lieux sont très propres

Tout était absolument parfait !
Pros:

C’est encore plus beau que sur les photos. La piscine est incroyable, avec une température idéale : on y entre comme dans un bain. Comme l’établissement ne compte que quatre chambres, nous avons souvent eu la piscine rien que pour nous, ce qui rend le séjour encore plus agréable.

Les repas sont délicieux et le cadre le soir, avec les lumières, est tout simplement magnifique. Le personnel est d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle, toujours attentionné et souriant.

Franchement, rien à redire : tout était top. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés !

Cons:

Rien

Ästhetisches und sehr komfortables Hotel in sehr ruhiger Lage und Laufnähe zum Strand
Pros:

Luxuriöses Zimmer mit sehr komfortablem Bett und Außenbad. Einladender Pool und ästhetischer Restaurantbereich. Gute Auswahl an Sri lankischen Frühstücksoptionen. Sehr hilfsbereites Team!

Cons:

Sonnenschirme sollten im Poolbereich ergänzt werden!
Restaurantpreise im Vergleich sehr teuer, sodass wir nicht im Hotel gegessen haben.
Der Gartenbereich könnte liebevoller gestaltet sein, insbesondere um den Pool herum

A great place to unwind
Pros:

We stayed at Omkara at the end of our Sri Lanka trip, it was the perfect end to a very varied holiday. The cabin is very spacious with a comfortable bed, and the outdoor bathroom is great - especially at night time seeing all the stars above!

The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful and the food was delicious.

The stand out feature of Omkara has to be the swimming pool. It is big enough (I'd say 20-25 metres) to really have a proper swim, and it is clean and very inviting!

Pros:

Swimming pool

Cons:

Beautiful swimming pool, disappointing service

The reception manager was unfriendly and inflexible during check-in.
After a long and hot journey from Mirissa, our Apple Pay payment did not go through. We asked to check in and complete the payment within an hour because we need to top up the balance on another card which we had physical , but no understanding was shown.
We were asked to wait at the reception before we paid. Is it my problem that your payment system doesn’t accept Apple Pay? The manager was rude he told us if you don’t like it you can choose another hotel. Imagine such an unprofessional behavior ?
Did the manager think we wouldn’t pay staying here for three nights? 😆

It’s not a hotel with private four small villas.
Everyone from outside can use the swimming pool — just pay for one drink. The pool and restaurant areas are shared with outside visitors. But there are only 7 sunbeds…and 4 tables at the restaurant area )
Non-guests were constantly sitting in common areas, with strong smells of prohibited smoke (you know). This was happening all three nights we were there — no privacy, no chill. Loud talks all day and till late evening.

Our room was never cleaned. Empty bottles and glasses were not removed, and the room had no natural light, no window, only very dim lighting.
The hotel feels more like a public space than a proper hotel.

Two stars — for the pool and the surroundings.

I know what the hotel will answer: check the previous 1-star review for this hotel. And check their official answer, which absolutely verifies my review as 100% true ;)
If I had seen this 1-star review and the official answer from Orkawa Rekawa, I would never have booked this hotel

And we also found a Cockroach in my room yuck. Lizard inside the room is ok cockroach means poor sanitation

Not value for the money 100%
