Stylish, modern, friendly hotel
Pros:

It's a lovely small hotel with a location right on the seafront. Our very large room was very stylish and well appointed with a stunning seaview. The room was clean, the bathroom was modern and the bed was very comfy. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was tasty and again, service was excellent. We enjoyed the pool. which was very modern. We really enjoyed our relaxing stay at R Degrees and would definitely recommend it.

Cons:

Not much around to walk to but we had DBB so didn't bother us.

Delusional hotel
Pros:

The hotel has nicely maintained garden and right by the beach. Restaurant staff is lovely and helpful.

Cons:

Even we booked breakfast and diner package, water not included in it and hotel charges more than 2 times the price outside the hotel.
Only Sri Lankan food was enjoyable which was rare or needed to precook. Western cuisine flavours is nowhere western and incomplete recipes. No salads for bfast (only two thin slices of old cucumber).
Hotels lay out is inappropriate which makes non suitable for families with small children - restaurant is spread on all bottom floor so if you would like to go to the garden/beach, you have to pass the tables where people are dining. There is no separation between hallway and restaurant which made extremely difficult our special needs kids not to disturb the diners. Also bottom floor rooms exit straight to the restaurant.
Hotel states has a SPA. I couldn’t book any treatment as therapist was on holidays during all our stay.
First night our daughter was scared by cockroach crawling on her in the bed. Husband was hunting for them all 3 nights (4 massive cockroaches).
Coffee table had a nail sticking out. Bedding was ripped.
Boutique hotel? Only the name but not hotel itself.
We booked this hotel for our last 4 days in Sri Lanka to relax and rest but bared only 3. It was most expensive stay in this country but the worst experience. When I mentioned to receptionist the reasons we checking out earlier I received only apology. When reached out to booking.com regarding partial refund, I was informed hotel refused to go into agreement.

Ruhiges Hotel mit traumhaftem Strandabschnitt...
Pros:

Das Personal war wirklich sehr freundlich. Bei der Ankunft haben wir ungefragt ein kostenloses Zimmerupgrade erhalten. Der Strandabschnitt mit den malerischen Felsen im Meer ist wunderschön.

Cons:

Die Zimmer in der unteren Etage sind durch den angrenzenden Frühstücksraum leider etwas hellhörig. In der Nachsaison kann es etwas einsam werden, da es rund um das Hotel kaum Möglichkeiten für Restaurantbesuche oder Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gibt.

Pros:

The toilets weren't all that clean.
The ac wasn't enough for a room of that size.
No view of the beach though we requested for a beach front room.

Pros:

Ubytování bylo moc krásné, čisté a byl zde klid.

Cons:

Nelíbilo se nám, že při příjezdu jsme čekali cca 2 hodiny na to než se nám uklidí pokoj i přes to, že jsme zde byli na čas check-inu. Nikdo si nás moc nevšímal a když už byl pokoj připraven a my měli spoustu těžkých zavazadel tak se na nás zaměstnanci jen koukali a nikdo nenabídl pomoc.

Fabulous location
Pros:

This was the biggest room we stayed in. It was so big it had 2 air conditioning units, so it's always cool. The balcony was also a good size. This was accessed by two large doors, which could be difficult to open, but we managed okay. It was lovely to have a bath, as well as a shower, and lots of hot water. We ate in most nights, which was genetally good. We tried Willamama on the beach, and the food was very good and excellent value for money, including a bottle of wine, which was half the price of the hotel. Fabulous views, including the sunsetting. Lovely beach directly in front of the hotel. Lots of sunbeds, sunshades, and fresh pool towels daily.

Cons:

Nothing

Nettes Hotel mit gutem Service.
Pros:

Es ist alles sehr gepflegt. Der Pool ist groß und sauber. Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich.

Cons:

Der Architekt hat die Außengeräte der Klimaanlagen in dem Außenbereich des Restaurants und unter unserem Balkon platziert. Das ist eher unglücklich gelöst.

Beautiful location with sea views and huge rooms.
Pros:

We returned to this hotel after 2 years because we enjoyed it so much the first time. It has a wonderful setting in gardens overlooking the sea and is very peaceful and relaxing. Sunbeds are arranged on the lawn where there is direct access to a beautiful beach.

Cons:

I would say the hotel is soon to need some upgrading as some areas are looking tired. Considering the hotel’s rating I would have expected dressing gowns to be provided which are not. As we suggested on our last visit it would be an improvement if staff provided a drink service around the pool and beach front area. As it is, if you want a drink you have to walk right up to the bar in the reception area.

Pros:

Das R Degrees liegt an einem wunderschönen Strandabschnitt, die Zimmer sind sehr groß, der Pool Bereich ist perfekt. Man ist beinahe alleine und kann wunderbar entspannen.

Cons:

Ab der 2. Nacht hatten wir Kakerlaken im Zimmer. Das Personal hat sie dankenswerterweise immer sofort entfernt, jedoch ist es nichts, was man immer wieder, auch am Bett, im Zimmer finden möchte bei einem 4 Sterne Hotel. Wir hatten das Erdgeschoss Zimmer neben der Küche. Wir wissen nicht, ob das Problem auch in anderen Zimmern herrscht.

Die Lüftung im Bad hat sehr gestunken, auch wenn sie nicht an war, so dass man Nachts davon im Zimmer wachgeworden ist.

truly relax by the ocean
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this property and would happily return.

The location is excellent – peaceful and surrounded by nature, yet still close enough to the main attractions. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, which made it a perfect place to unwind after full days of exploring.

Pros:

Unglaublich schöne Anlage und perfekt zum relaxen. Da es nur 10 Zimmer gibt, ist die Ruhe sehr angenehm. Das Zimmer war sehr groß und die Betten waren sehr bequem. Der Pool mit Blick auf den Garten und den unmittelbaren strandzugang ist wie im Bilderbuch. Der sandstrand ist umwerfend und man glaubt, dass man im Paradies ist. Keine Menschen und einfach nur schön. Wir waren t Nächte und haben uns richtig gut erholt.
