Awesome af
Pros:

Honestly, this place was an absolute gem! It’s only about 1–2 minutes from Galle, yet it feels like a peaceful escape. The hotel is beautifully situated on a hill, and the sea view was absolutely stunning.

The price was incredibly cheap for what we got, and I genuinely can’t express how awesome the whole experience was. The breakfast was great, and the owner is such a kind and welcoming guy. Amazing value, beautiful scenery and wonderful hospitality. We’ll definitely stay here again!
