Like having a private villa
Pros:

Stunningly beautiful, and large comfortable rooms. I slept extremely well here. Everyone keeps themselves to themselves so it often feels like you have the place to yourself. Staff will do anything for you. I also had two exceptional massages and enjoyed the cookery lesson.

Cons:

The price— though it was new year.

We absolutely loved this property and hope to be back soon! A true hidden gem - property and staff alike!
Pros:

This property is the epitome of rest and relaxation! Even though the property was 70-80% occupied, we rarely saw other guests and felt like the entire place was reserved just for us. We loved the minimalistic lifestyle it embodies, no nonsense or “events” - just a place to unwind and forget about time. The beach is absolutely breath taking albeit not recommend for swim. The rooms were very good in size and had very comfortable beds. The staff were all extremely helpful and professional and accommodated almost, if not all of our request. The food was excellent and our 3 year old loved all the food on the kids menu - a big win! Also the open grass area was such a delight for our child to just run around and be one with nature which is rare nowadays.

Absolutely gorgeous hotel in a fabulous beachside location with the most amazing staff.
Pros:

Fabulous location on the beach, set back from the road and very quiet. The staff are fantastic - nothing was too much trouble and very attentive. Food was also excellent, although staying for a week it would have been nice to see a change in the menu…

Cons:

There isn’t much in the immediate vicinity, so if you are not happy relaxing in a fabulous hotel on the beach this may not be for you. That said, Uber works fine so we were able to travel about and see Galle, Lunuganga and other places so not really a problem. Just no alternative restaurants or anything you can walk to.

Wonderful place to switch off
Pros:

Amazing resort, with wonderful, big, green property next to the amazing beach.
Garden is quite spacious, with the open view of the ocean and sunsets. Lounge chaies are spread around the gardens, so you can enjoy the conversations with your fellow guests, or choose the remote corners for the peace and tranquility and enjoying sound of waves on your own, or with your partner.
The pool is very large, and never crowded, as this 10-room resort offers plenty of space to make you feel very comfortable. If resort is full, make sure to get the lounge chair early, but if you are not there all the time, you can finnd your stuff moved away by some rude guest.
Beach so beautiful, as it breaks the monotony of the long beach with massive boulders right in front of resort.
Rooms are very nice, but lower priced rooms are little bit smaller than expected. Nevertheless, the bathroom is wonderful and spacious and both are very well designed.
One thing that is missing in those rooms is privacy of the balcony.
Breakfast is wonderful starting with the fruit platter, bakery basket and then a-la-carte option, which is second to none, with local and international variety.
Dinner menu is not huge, but with well chosen dishes and affordable.
Definitely a place to visit again.
