Disappointing
Pros:

Only the location and view from the room.

Cons:

Cleanliness is a major issue for this hotel. Everything about it is uncleaned. Breakfast was dis’s appointment. Five items only including red chilli flakes. Rest of the items were not good or even tasetes good and wont perfect for breakfast. Lot of bugs in the pool. Room not cleaned, towel not cleaned, washroom not clean and even the welcome drink glass was not washed properly. Couldn’t drink it. It’s not like a cheap place but was not maintained properly.

Pros:

We absolutely loved our four day stay at this magical place! Best of all was the friendly staff, but we enjoyed our breakfasts, swims in the pool and the breathtaking beach view from our room and balkony. Best accommodation during our stay in Sri Lanka!

Pros:

Breanfast was bad (toasts cool, few fruits, only one cup coffee) and some mornings it took nearly two hours that we got it without that we asked day before to have breakfast at time.

There were nobody who care about cleaning. In the garden was a lot rabbish around like a food and papers.

Better say it straight: "Ocean Villa Den should be close. It's not a place where to spend holiday."

Pros:

The view from the room was a ten out of ten and the location from the beach was amazing but unfortunately the cleanliness and maintenance to the room was a five out of ten.

Cons:

The light coming through the glass door was horrible and the bathroom light was like a disco.

Cons:

We had a very disappointing experience at Ocean Villa. We arrived around 8:40 PM and found the roller gate completely closed. For more than 15 minutes, we knocked on the gate and called out, but there was absolutely no response. Even our driver shouted in their language, and we clearly heard two people talking inside, but they completely ignored us. We had no choice but to leave and look for another place late at night. This was extremely stressful, especially since we had a small baby who was hungry and crying. Very unprofessional and unacceptable behavior. I would never recommend this place to anyone.
