Pros:

Отличный отель, всё очень уютно. Два бассейна, куча шезлонгов. До пляжа из нашего номера было где-то метров 10 :) Но лучше отеля - это персонал. Такой заботы о нас реально не было нигде. Antony - огромное спасибо!
Мы заказывали два отдельных номера на 4 человека, один с видом на море, второй подешевле. Когда мы приехали, в отеле не было других постояльцев и нам бесплатно дали второй номер рядом (оба с видом на море).
Ужинали мы день в отеле/день в другом месте (в основном в Nirukthie Beach Resort). Antony подходил к нам и спрашивал, что мы хотим на ужин, соответственно выбрать можно было всё что угодно: лобстеры, крабы, креветки, кари. Чего не было в отеле, персонал покупал на рынке и готовил.
Отдельно напишу про кайт-сёрфинг, т.к. это было одной из основных причин выбрать этот регион Шри-Ланки. Были в июле, дуло 15 дней из 17. Ветер основную массу времени вдоль берега. Основная масса кайтеров катается подальше, на косе. Я запускался прямо на пляже отеля. Тут нюанс: пляж узкий, запуститься классическим способом тяжело. Супруга стаскивала кайт в воду, и я поднимал его со стороны океана.

Cons:

На выходных в отель приезжают шумные компании местных жителей. Обычно персонал просил их заканчивать к 23:00, но некоторые индивиды умудрялись возвращаться поздно ночью и включать музыку. Такое было один раз за наши 17 дней отдыха. Пришлось выйти и наорать на них, после этого они быстро передислоцировались подальше на пляж. На утро приходили извиняться )))

Buona struttura con ottima cucina
Pros:

Abbiamo trascorso un piacevole soggiorno in questa struttura. L’hotel è generalmente ben tenuto e offre un ambiente accogliente. Un punto di forza è sicuramente la cucina: i piatti erano davvero squisiti e la zona ristorante si è sempre presentata impeccabilmente pulita, ordinata e ben organizzata.

Le camere non sono di recente costruzione, ma risultano comunque ben mantenute, confortevoli e funzionali.

L’unico aspetto che ci ha lasciato un po’ perplessi è stata la presenza di diverse bottiglie e lattine abbandonate nelle aree comuni, un dettaglio che stona con la buona impressione generale della struttura e che meriterebbe maggiore attenzione.

Nel complesso, una buona esperienza che consiglierei, soprattutto per la qualità della ristorazione e la cura degli ambienti principali.

Cons:

La spiaggia sporca, il mare nel periodo di luglio è praticamente non balneabile

Pros:

Leuke kamer, prachtig zwembad en een schoon strandje. Het personeel is echt geweldig en het eten was heerlijk!
Echt een aanrader om te verblijven.

Cons:

Het bed lag niet heel lekker, maar goed genoeg. Er was een hele grote groep voor een feest, deze mensen maakten de omgeving echt heel vies en bij beide zwembaden boxen met hard muziek. Jammer dat mensen zich zo gedragen, hier kan het personeel weinig aan doen, maar maakt het wel oncomfortabeler voor andere gasten.

Nic.

No wifi in 2026 is a joke!
Pros:

This place has so much potential but it looks like they are not interested in it getting more customers. No wifi in 2026 is just ridiculous. People were saying that in reviews 2 years ago and they still haven't done anything about it. They could solve this issue in a day if they wanted.

The resort space and rooms are gorgeous but the place is deserted and I can understand why.

Cons:

They have a gorgeous space but then there's this creepy twilight zone of an inside restaurant. When you enter they turn off the nice music they were listening to and put on this absolutely horrid elevator muzak, easily listening instrumentals of classics that would drive a person insane. We go to foreign countries to experience new things, not to have terrible versions of what we get at home. The music honestly is an example of the issue here. They are not giving visitors what they want, they are giving them what they _think_ visitors want. There was no menu anywhere to be found. Not online, not outside the restaurant not in the room. As I was one of two guests staying I figured that nothing can be fresh anyway so ate elsewhere. Apart from breakfast which was the same you get everywhere. I got a choice on day one. On day two I was just given exactly what I had picked on day one, no discussion. Everything was extremely oily and even the fruit selection felt sad.
The difference between here and the resort just two minutes walk up the coast is enormous. There the dining area is outside, looking at the sea, people everywhere, nice atmosphere...menus, cocktails... fancy having the sea right there and hiding it away from what should be your focal point. So weird.
The room is great and the space is really lovely. All sorts of wildlife around that's such a joy. Chipmunks, birds, frogs etc It's such a shame they don't make an effort. Someone has clearly given up but it would be so easy to inject some much needed life back into the place. 
Lower the price for a while to get people back and giving good reviews, rethink the disastrous restaurant situation, start encouraging guests of other resorts to come for drinks and meals - outside in front of the sea. I saw a man wonder in, clearly looking for that and just eventually gave up and left.

Pros:

Очень классное место. Главный плюс народу по сравнению с южной частью острова просто нет. 😊 на пляже практически, ни кто не купается. Все а основном уходят кайтить. Большая красивая территория. Есть два бассейна.

Cons:

Приезжают в выходные большие компании и проводят вечеринки. Шумно

Rauhallinen ja kaunis paikka
Pros:

Hiljainen ja rauhallinen sijainti. Yläkerran huoneen isolta parvekkeelta hieno näköala merelle ja uima-altaalle. Ystävällinen ja avulias henkilökunta. Erinnomainen parkkipaikka moottoripyörille sisäpihalla.

Cons:

Ravintola vaihtoehtoja ei lähellä paljon ollut. Kävelymatkan päässä kuitenkin jokunen.

Wonderful place that our family truly enjoyed
Pros:

Anthony (the very sweet father figure of the resort) took such great care of us. Please tip him for us if you can! We accidentally forgot to as we were leaving, and we regret it. He was so kind and caring, and his English is great so he understands very well. The location was stunning with 2 pools and fishing boats on the beach. We were able to book a dolphin tour boat right at the hotel, and they picked us up with a boat right on the beach the next morning. We were lucky enough to see hundreds of dolphins swimming around us in the ocean! Beautiful experience.

Bof
Pros:

La nourriture est bonne et le monsieur du restaurant est très gentil.

Cons:

L’hôtel a l’air d’être à l’abandon, pas de wifi dans notre chambre (malgré le routeur qu’ils nous ont donné au milieu de séjour), on a demandé de louer un scooter, il est arrivé 2 jours plus tard (sur un séjour de 3 nuits), on a du demander qu’ils lavent nos fenêtres par lesquelles on ne voyait pas à travers tellement elles étaient sales, personne n’est à la réception, le dernier soir des locaux (clients?) ont mis la musique à un volume complètement déraisonnable sur un ampli, au milieu des bungalows, et l’hôtel ne leur a aucunement demandé de diminuer le son, même après 22h. Aussi, pas de kite possible à cet endroit de la plage.
