Great stay, but...
Pros:

The staff is very friendly although bad at english. They jump through hoops to grant you every wish or need you may have. Like driving to the shop for super glue. Really exceptional service. The hotel is also very clean, and has a beautiful garden. The breakfast was also amazing.
All in all we had a great stay.

Cons:

Some facilities listed like bathtub wasn't there. Also soundproof walls seems like a lie as there were litteral holes and cracks in the corners of the walls.
Lights in the pool was not attached to the walls of the pool. They were just floating around.
Comparing prices to other things in hikkaduwa, i do think the value for money is off with this hotel. Rating it as a 5 star hotel is clearly wrong. On google it is listed as a three star hotel.

Lovely
Pros:

The hotel is beautifully located in quiet green surroundings. Away from the busy and touristy centre of Hikkaduwa this place felt like an oasis. The staff is super friendly and made us lots of delicious meals. Our little 2 year old daughter loved the pool and just walking around in the neighborhood. The hotel arranges a free tuktuk per day roundtrip to take you to the city. I would highly recommend this place if you want a genuine Sri Lankan experience

Cons:

The beds were a bit hard, but that is a personal preference
