Personnel attentif, superbe cadre, raffinement des details

We had an incredible stay at this hotel – the rooms were absolutely amazing! Spacious, spotlessly clean, with plush beds that felt like sleeping on clouds. Every detail, from the modern amenities to the cozy lighting, made it feel like a luxurious home away from home.
The service was top-notch too. The staff were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond – from quick check-in to personalized food. All the meals were fresh and delicious. We’ll definitely be back!

There is something so calming and relaxing about this place. The understated elegance, tasteful decor, attentive, smiling staff. It is every bit as beautiful as the photos show, with spacious rooms and terraces. The fourposter beds with mosquito netting were kingly, bathrooms large and shower pressure strong.

We would start every day with a long, relaxed breakfast, sipping cappucinos from 7.30 and often not finishing till 9.30, moving straight to the poolside. The egg hoppers benedict are to die for! The selection within the breadbasket hard to resist.

The location is also great. Just a short walk to the surfers beach and to great restauranta like Nova Seafood and Boss of Prawns. Or from 4pm you can cross the road and get feeshly made roti and hoppers on the roadside.

Overall, we were delighted and could not have had a better time. Two things to note: the pool is very shallow at one end, so not great for swimming lenghts but ideal for small kids; there is wine and beer but no hard liquor.

We loved everything about this hotel but our top 3 is:
- The stunning pool and its view on the railway and the ocean
- The delicious and decadent breakfast
- The cleanliness of the room (family suite: huge and beautiful)

We stayed at this hotel for 8 nights, and it was an unforgettable experience 😍
The hotel’s location is amazing 👍🏽 The beach is just a one-minute walk away, and there are jungles and a railway nearby.
A beautiful, clean, cozy, and spacious hotel! The room was large, with a beautiful design and a big, soft bed.

Thank you to the staff for an incredible stay ☺️
Special thanks to Nimesh, Sahas, Chanaka, and Kavidu, who made our vacation truly unforgettable 🫶🏽

The food and drinks were absolutely delicious! Everything was top-notch. Thank you so much 🙏🏽

The design and location are great. The food was good and the staff very courteous.

The property has an open architecture, contemporary with local influences, big furniture pieces made of precious wood and lavish plants giving you a colonial coziness feel. It is very clean & the services are exceptional. The food is lovely.

the service was great, everything felt so lux

Es war ein rundum wunderschöner letzter Tag in Sri Lanka. Auch ein Late Checkout war total unproblematisch. Sehr zuvorkommender Service!

Great location. Peaceful. Beautiful rooms with comfortable beds and fabulous staff. Lovely breakfast.

Nous sommes arrivés de notre périple le 1 janvier au matin, assez tôt, et malgré cela nous avons été reçu avec le sourire et d’une manière tout à fait bienveillante et gentille. Le personnel est adorable, aux petits soins, on a même été les premiers à petit-déjeuner en 2026 dans l’hôtel! Incroyable! Tout était parfait, la suite la nourriture la plage les gens…. Un régal.
