Luxury Sri Lanka stay
Pros:

A beautiful luxurious property with gorgeous sunset. Food was amazing and service too. Only an hour from the airport. Beach very quiet but the under current is very strong so you can’t swim in the sea. There is a large swimming pool to relax in though.

If you want a quiet luxurious worry free break from your travels this is the best place to be. Highly recommend it!
Pros:

This is a luxurious place with only seven rooms. We almost had the place to ourselves. The staff, especially Eshan and Rukmal were very friendly and attentive. The breakfast and dinners, included in the room rate, was gourmet level and really makes this a great value with luxury. Don’t miss the beautiful pool. Would be great for a destination wedding!!

Cons:

The waves on the beach were a little rough and not recommended unless you are an experienced swimmer.

Lovely place, great food, lovely staff.
Pros:

Exceptional food and design, super nice staff. Perfect for a relaxing stay, with a wonderful common areas, dining halls, and great pool.

Cons:

The surroundings are rather uninteresting - the nearest town doesn’t have a lot to offer. But if you want to just stay in and relax (I did) - the villa is perfect

The most comfortable and relaxing time in such a well kept and well positioned location.
Pros:

Everything about this place is outrageously exceptional. The staff are INCREDIBLE. The food is AMAZING. The location is PERFECT.
We honestly had the best time staying here mostly realxing in and beside the pool, lazing on the beach, frolicking in the waves and watching gorgeous sunsets.
The staff under Rizwan's amazing management ensured that we always had what we needed and were always around just when we needed something.
Honestly it was like a home away from home and we will DEFINITELY be returning.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing. Everything here is PERFECT.

Pros:

I stayed for 2 nights at the end of my 2 week holiday which was a tour around Sri Lanka. I wanted somewhere I could completely relax with my kindle, and this hotel fit the bill perfectly. If you are looking for things to do around the hotel, don't stay here. I would say this is a hotel you book if you want to completely relax by the poolside.

In short, the hotel is BEAUTIFUL. The pool is sublime, the sun loungers very comfortable all set against the perfect backdrop of the ocean. I stayed in the poolside room which was so clean, comfortable and the bathroom was perfect with a gorgeous rain forest style shower.

The food was another highlight; my only niggle was the overuse of salt on some of the evening meals but apart from that very tasty and beautifully presented.

The staff were warm, welcoming and well trained to provide fantastic service. I would highly recommend.

Your own private paradise
Pros:

After a hectic but enjoyable tour of Sri Lanka, some relaxation was called for and this property certainly delivered. A large well-appointed room, helpful but discreet staff, good food and lovely grounds. A great place for just doing nothing!

You won’t be disappointed
Pros:

Excellent standard of hotel. The Hotel is almost brand-new and we really noticed. Stunning design and architecture which the pictures don’t do it justice. We booked half board and found the food to be top class. Eating and drinking in the hotel wasn’t too expensive and as such we didn’t leave ( we didn’t see much evidence of things to do in the nearby town so we stayed in the hotel)

Pros:

Right on the beach.300meters walk from local train station.but you are not aware of the train.
Once you go through the gates it feels like walking into a luxurious property, and something very special.
7 bedroom boutique hotel. We stayed in the triple aspect room. One of the nicest rooms we have stayed in.
Staff friendly helpful and attentive. Pool was amazing.
If you are thinking of drinking alcohol take your own. Wine is very expensive.
