Pros:

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making me feel right at home. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and I was impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of the team.

The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly cosy, ensuring a great night’s sleep, and the housekeeping staff maintained everything to the highest standard. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like complimentary bottled water and the beautiful cake they presented for my birthday

The hotel facilities were equally impressive. The restaurant offered a wide variety of delicious dishes, and breakfast was a highlight with fresh options to suit every taste. I also enjoyed spending time at the pools which were clean and well-maintained.

What truly sets this hotel apart is the exceptional service. Every staff member I encountered went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Their attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference.

Overall, this hotel combines comfort, luxury, and outstanding hospitality. I would gladly return and recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay.

Cons:

Nothing not to dislike

Perfekter Ort zum Abschalten
Pros:

Wir hatten ein super schönes und großes Zimmer mit Blick aufs Meer. Das Zimmer war neu und modern eingerichtet.
Hier kann man ohne Probleme zur Ruhe kommen.
Es ist zwar etwas außerhalb, aber mit dem TukTuk kommt man überall problemlos hin. Die Ortschaft selbst hat nicht viel zu bieten. Zum Strand dauert es ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß, leider sind die Wellen sehr hoch, sodass man dort nicht schwimmen sollte. Da die Unterkunft aber zwei Pools hat, ist dies kein Problem! ;)

Cons:

Das Restaurant war etwas teuer und hätte etwas besser sein können. Aber es gibt um die Ecke ein paar sehr gute Strandbars.
Sonst gibt es überhaupt nichts Negatives!

Really stylish, clean and comfortable hotel in a beautiful setting with glorious pool.
Pros:

This hotel is in a stunning setting just off the beach with huge, comfortable and very clean modern rooms. The pool is a delight to dip into and stare out to sea. The restaurant is lovely and the breakfasts are great. They were just fitting out a gym whilst we were there too. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Nothing really. Maybe a more varied dinner menu if you’re there for several days.

Pure relaxation. Spacoius was rooms and breakfast were the icing on the cake
Pros:

This hotel is one of the best we stayed in whilst travelling around Sri Lanka. Staff are super friendly and helpful. If you want to see wildlife then we got to see many whilst sitting enjoying a drink.

Cons:

Location was a bit remote but tuk tuk or car can take you anywhere and super cheap

Pros:

Piscina e zone comuni molto belle. La camera è un po spoglia, ma grande. Hotel molto pulito e ben tenuto. Le camere vengono pulite e sistemate su richiesta anche ogni giorno. Hanno anche una Spa e una palestra ben attrezzata. Il personale è molto attento e cordiale, sempre sorridente.

Cons:

La strada di accesso dovrebbe essere sistemata, ma niente che rovini l'esperienza

Pros:

Tolle Lage direkt am Strand. Die Zimmer sind sehr gut ausgestattet und auch das Frühstück war lecker.

Cons:

Es wird eine Schildkrötenbesichtigung beworben, die wirklich nicht zu empfehlen ist. Ca. 100 Leute rennen einer Schildkröte hinterher und die Tourguides waren total aufgescheucht und haben die Babyschildkröten immer wieder geblendet und auch angefasst.

Pros:

The room and the view are exceptional plus the swimming pools. So very relaxing and clean. The beds are so comfortable., a real treat and luxury in a beautiful quiet location. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The menu needed more variety if Sri Lankan cuisine maybe. But the menu provided a broad range with some western food as well.

Un petit coin de paradis dans le sud, éloigné de la foule et du tourisme.
Pros:

La quiétude du lieu, la vue imprenable sur la mer que ce soit au restaurant, à la piscine, depuis la chambre !
Les levers de soleil sont majestueux, le personnel est aux petits soins, le petit déjeuner est superbe et, concernant le restaurant, on ne peut pas rêver mieux : poissons et crustacés sont pêchés juste en face de l'hôtel, un vrai régal !
Cet hôtel correspondait parfaitement à mes envies, un petit coin de paradis, éloigné de la foule et du tourisme, situé à environ 20min en Tuk-Tuk de Tangalle.

Agréable
Pros:

Très bel hôtel (en agrandissement) avec chambres spacieuses et confortables. Terrasse privée avec très belle vue. Deux piscines magnifiques, à débordement avec vue sur la mer. Restaurant bon et agréable.
Possibilité de louer des vélos.

Cons:

Diversité d'activités limitée pour un resort. Pas de plage privée. Personnel parfois inégal.
Eviter de réserver les suites en rez de chaussée à littéralement 2 mètres de la grande piscine. Intimité impossible à moins de laisser les rideaux fermés toute la journée.
