Incredible welcoming hosts in a blissfully peaceful and beautiful atmosphere. 10/10 amazing stay!
Pros:

The property was absolutely gorgeous. So much attention to detail, spotlessly clean, and included very nice, good quality amenities (everything is provided even including toothbrushes, so no need to pack). There were snacks, tea/coffee and other refreshments included too. The very comfortable bed was carefully decorated with flowers for our arrival, which was incredibly beautiful and made us feel welcomed and special!

About the outdoor areas, the pool was just blissful. Not too warm and not too cold! There’s also an outdoor shower to rinse off after a swim or wash away sand after a trip to the beach, and separate very large pool towels are provided to dry off then relax on the comfortable outdoor lounge chairs. The hammock was perfect for chilling to read a book. The private breakfast area is so nice as well. All outdoor areas were very well maintained and perfectly clean and tidy.

They serve breakfast right at the villa, so eating was private and peaceful. The local food served was EXCELLENT. In fact, it was by far the best, most authentic food we ate in our whole trip - we went with all the traditional options and everything they served had a wonderful, home-cooked style that made us feel like we were getting a true taste of Sri Lanka. Delicious and fresh and clearly prepared with care and love!

There are no restaurants/shops immediately around the property, and in Sri Lankan daytime heat the walk to the beach and restaurants near the beach is a little far. However the manager was always available via WhatsApp at any time and very very quick to respond to requests to call for a cheap tuktuk to go anywhere that you want, so the slightly isolated location was no problem at all. Actually, it was a lovely peaceful area with the calming sounds of nature all around instead of noisy vehicle sounds etc. So it was perfect in every way and we felt the quiet location was actually a significant bonus not a negative point.

Go for the fairy-tale experience!
Pros:

This is a fairy-tale house where each and every detail is made and treated with love!
All villas have an AC, comfy spacious round beds, good pillows, we slept like babies. Our villa had a swimming pool, the staying was super comfortable, quite and relaxing. And we had monkeys playing in the garden - such a show)))
The breakfasts were made with love. My favorite ones were the pancakes with coconut and honey, made by the mother of the host - just delicious!!!
Hirushan, the host, is a caring and very attentive young man. He makes his guests to feel like home and to get the best possible experiences in the south of Sri Lanka.
It is not a beach front location, but the lagoon is just in few steps and by tuk-tuk you can be at the ocean in 5-7 min.

Cons:

Nothing

Coup de cœur
Pros:

Un coup de cœur particulier pour cet hôtel. Le personnel est aux petits soins et adorable. L’Iga Bara Hobbit,un petit paradis camouflé dans la végétation. Nous devions rester uniquement 1 nuit mais changement de programme pour 3 nuits tellement on s’y sentait bien
