Ruhiges Boutique-Hotel in guter Lage
Pros:

Die Lage ist super — nah am Strand und an Restaurants. Die Zimmer sind sehr groß, die Möbel wirken neu, hochwertig und modern. Besonders angenehm fanden wir, dass es insgesamt nur fünf Zimmer gibt, wodurch die Unterkunft ruhig und privat wirkt. Auch der Pool ist schön und gepflegt.

Cons:

In der Nebensaison gab es keine Milch oder Zucker zum Kaffee und das Essen wurde von außerhalb gebracht. Das Badezimmer war leider nicht besonders sauber (vor allem Wanne und Ablagen), und beim Duschen wird schnell das ganze Bad nass. Das Gebäude selbst wirkt deutlich älter als in manchen Bewertungen beschrieben, im Flur war es sehr heiß, muffig und teilweise mit Schimmelgeruch. Im Zimmer selbst war das zum Glück nicht der Fall.

Vreselijk
Pros:

Ligt dichtbij het strand en het centrum

Cons:

Na het inchecken kregen we de sleutel van onze kamer. Er was geen wc papier aanwezig. Dit hebben we gemeld en de medewerker vertelde dat dit eerst nog gekocht moest worden. Dit werd later dan ook alsnog gebracht.

In onze kamer zaten overal mieren en andere ook andere ongedierte. Ook in ons bed zaten verschillende beestjes. Het zwembad bleek niet open te zijn en deze is tijdens ons verblijf ook niet open gegaan, dit is pas verteld toen we vroegen of we konden zwemmen. We hadden dit hotel geboekt omdat we een zwembad wouden.

We hebben geprobeerd aan de medewerker van het hotel uit te leggen dat we eerder wouden uitchecken en geld terug wouden. Omdat hij slecht engels sprak kwam dit dit niet over en hebben we contact gezocht met booking.

Uiteindelijk hebben wij hier ons verblijf eerder gestopt en zijn we op zoek gegaan naar een ander hotel. De prijs van dit hotel staat zeker niet in verhouding tot de kwaliteit.

Spacious, clean, quiet. Direct access to the beach.
Pros:

This was one of the best places in Sri Lanka. Spacious, clean, quiet. Direct access to the beach. Pictures really are like the real thing.

Cons:

This was the most expensive stay by far in Sri Lanka. Is it worth it? You have to decide for that. For us it was worth it!

Gute LAge, schwacher Service
Pros:

Zentrale Lage am Strand und in der Nähe der Restaurants! Fußläufig zum Supermarkt und Wochenmarkt! Sehr ruhig da kein Verkehr in der Straße. Wenige Zimmer welche gut ausgestattet sind. Alles neu und daher alles sauber. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut, man bestellt was man möchte und es wird gebracht. Schöner Pool, Zugang zum Strand.

Cons:

Service dem Preis nicht entsprechend! Zimmerreinigung und Entleerung der Abfalleimer musste jedes Mal aufs Neue verlangt werden! Selbständig ist gar nicht!

This resort and stay is the perfect getaway. The staff are even better!
Pros:

This place feels like home on Paradise beach as your front yard. There is no other accomodation like it in terms of comfort the beach and the pool is pristine ! Sunrise reflect directed into your back yard .

The staff are all welcoming and brilliant. We could not have asked for more . Janedran is the sweetest man , always on the look out to ensure comfort. Dinesh is the Chef, there is nothing that this young man cannot cook. Amazing food here! Rooms are very clean and accommodating. We extended our stay , could not leave.

Cons:

Nothing !
