Great stay at Culture resort
Pros:

The staff were very welcoming and helpful, the room was spotless and comfortable and a good price.
The breakfast was good, they provided more than we could eat.

Pros:

Tolle Lage, etwas abseits vom Rummel. Schöne Terasse auf dem Dach zum Essen mit super Aussicht.
Mit Tuk Tuk kann man gut die anderen Strände in der Umgebung erreichen und auch morgens nach Misissa zum Walewatching gelangen.
Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal.
Uns haf der Strand Polhena Beach super gefallen. Es gibt auch viele Einheimische die dort baden gehen. Alles total entspannt und freundlich.
Und das Beste sind die Turtles, welche man im Wasser hautnah beobachten kann...

The bathroom was old fashioned. Bath with shower curtain Toilet was hard up against the bath so that your knees were hitting the bath when you sat down. Also bath was old and marked

We had the most wonderful and pleasant stay in this beautifully decorated hotel.
Pros:

We had the most wonderful and pleasant stay in this beautifully decorated hotel. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Both the manager and the owner were attentive to the guests needs and comfort -checking on us few times, which was wonderful. The location in close proximity to the beach with amazing views which is another highlight. We definitely will return back when we are back in Sri Lanka.

Cons:

none

Самые теплые и прекрасные впечатления !!
Pros:

Очень уютный, чистый и красивый отель. Чувствуешь себя как дома. Персонал невероятно приветливый . Инду помогает в любых вопросах 24/7. Кухня отменная с огромными порциями и невысокой ценой. Вид с любой точки прекрасен, песчаный пляж без волн в 2 минутах . Собственный бассейн с охлаждающей приятной водой! Жили неделю с двумя детьми , номер просторный для семьи с детьми. Есть интернет и парковка . Если искать недостатки то их можно найти даже в очень дорогом отеле , мы отдыхали , наслаждались отдыхом , гостеприимными людьми, красотой вокруг!!! Всем рекомендуем !!!

Schönes Hotel mit tollen Mitarbeitern und leckerem Essen
Pros:

Die Unterkunft war architektonisch interessant. Haben wir so nicht nochmal gesehen auf unsere 1-monatigen Sri Lanka Reise. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und man hat uns geholfen Tagestrips zu vereinbaren. Selbst Yoga inklusive Lehrer wird jeden Morgen angeboten.
Wir waren mit unserer 3-jährigen Tochter dort, die ebenfalls viel Spaß hatte und die Zeit in Culture Resort sehr genoss.
