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.

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.

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.

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.

Boutique-Kleinod direkt am Meer
Pros:

Die Lage direkt am Meer, wunderschöner, ganz leerer Strand. Sehr kinderfreundlich und aufmerksam Familien gegenüber. Wünsche wurden schnell erfüllt, überhaupt sehr guter Service, und die Zimmer sind sehr schön und sauber. Das Essen im Restaurant ist sehr gut (aber hat einen stolzen Preis), das Sri Lankischen Frühstück eines der besten unserer gesamten Reise - unbedingt vorbestellen.
