I cannot forget the 3 nights,the staff is so friendly,caring always smiling,the bar on site has excellent food,excellent drinks Ofcourse
Met soo many amazing locals the most caring and also some tourists it was a little quiet but my god the place its self is absolutely gorgeous photos dont do justice !
They have one of the best diving schools on the site to its a must must try super safe , safety is top top priority !
I can hardly remember the names of all the people i met i think i definitely remember are kevin front table ,the old uncle at the bar cash counter,fredrigo the barista,bhanuka the most chiller guy you’ll ever meet ,he’s one of the scuba divers
All of you and all the people i didn’t mention thank you for making my experience so memorable

Une belle vue, mais plusieurs points à améliorer
Pros:

Vue sur la mer.

Cons:

La chambre n’était pas faite automatiquement pendant notre séjour, il fallait le demander. Il n’y avait pas de réfrigérateur dans la chambre et pas d’eau chaude pour la douche. De plus, de l’eau potable n’était fournie que le premier jour.

Top locatie aan het strand!
Pros:

De lokatie is geweldig, voetjes gelijk op het strand en een heerlijke matras met goede airconditioning! Host is erg behulpzaam en kan goede activiteiten en taxi's organiseren voor een eerlijke prijs.

Cons:

De excursies begin vaak om of voor 9 uur, maar het restaurant is pas vanaf 9 uur open. Het is soms even zoeken naar een plek om te kunnen ontbijten.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope we can return one day
Pros:

A simple room in a fantastic location, right on the beach. What a treat to wake up and be just 20 metres from the water for a morning dip!

Fresh juice, food, and drinks are available right at your doorstep, and you can have an umbrella and sun loungers reserved for you if desired. The staff are all friendly and welcoming, offering wonderful Sri Lankan hospitality.

Cons:

No complaints

A beautiful beachfront escape with ocean views, fresh fish and pure relaxation
Pros:

A lovely stay right in front of the ocean! The room was cozy, clean, and perfectly located just steps from the beach, making it so easy to fully enjoy the sea and all the comforts of a beachfront stay. Waking up with the ocean right in front of us was definitely one of the highlights!

The restaurant was another great surprise, with a beautiful atmosphere and delicious fresh fish. Enjoying dinner so close to the sea made the whole experience even more special.

A perfect place for a relaxing beach stay — beautiful location, great food, and everything you need to simply slow down and enjoy the ocean.
