Pros:

Супер классный сервис в ресторане, прекрасный пляж и территория, еда очень вкусная, хорошее место чтобы отдохнуть от людей

Cons:

Очень дорогой спа с обычным качеством
Непонятная система расчета в отеле, все цены указаны в долларах и без налогов, что вызвало трудности в конце при расчете, что немного испортило впечатление

Perfect in every way. From the joyous welcome of Kavi, the spirit and passion of Fabian, Damion and Maheel.
Pros:

The location by the sea. The vegetation (almost jungle like). The facilities, the staff, the food, oh the food!!!

Cons:

The weather!! 😊

Erholsame Oase im Grünen
Pros:

Wunderschön gelegen am Ende eines ruhigen Strands. Die Anlage unfasst einige Bungalows, ein Restaurant und Wellnesseinrichtungen. Diese sind auf dem Areal gut verteilt. Ich habe nur beim Essen und Yoga andere Gäste gesehen.
Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend. Der Koch kommt persönlich an jeden Tisch und kocht bei Kapazität auch mal Speisen, die nicht auf dem Menu stehen.
Pool und Garten sind sehr schön und gut gehalten, ideal für Ruhesuchende.

Pros:

Das Essen war super, der Service war zuvorkommend. Die Lage ist wirklich aussergewöhnlich mit Privatstrand. Die gesamte Anlage ist wunderschön. Die Möglichkeit für gratis Yoga war top.

Cons:

Es ist halt etwas abgelegen, aber wenn man es weiss, kein Problem. Wir hatten nur etwas Schwierigkeiten, das Hotel zu finden, da es kein Schild hatte.

Идеальный отель во всем.
Pros:

это рай для интровертов. Идеальный пляж без людей. Утром проходит йога, шикарный был класс. Питание - по меркам других курортов очень вкусная и эстетичная, стоимость не завышена. И можно ни в чем себе не отказывать. В отеле реально можно отдохнуть и расслабиться. Мы жили в доме с видом на океан и с бассейном. По крыше утром бегали бурундуки, очень милые. вообще в отеле очень много живности. Нам очень понравился отель. Надеюсь вернемся еще.

Cons:

горячая вода - работает по кнопке. Не совсем понятная система ))

A perfect end to our trip.
Pros:

What an amazing way to end our trip. The staff were so attentive and kind and the bar tender makes the best cocktails in Sri Lanka. The property and rooms are so beautifully designed to immerse you in nature, we loved watching kingfishers fly in and out for the restaurant ponds. The beach is one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever visited, we watched turtle hatchlings run to the water and sea eagles fishing for breakfast. All the pool areas are gorgeous. The staff were also super accommodating on our last day, our flight left at 4am and they provided us with a day room until we left at 10pm. A perfect and peaceful end to our trip.

Cons:

The restaurant and bar were somewhat expensive in comparison to some of the other places we stayed, though the chef is very good and the cocktails were exceptional. I would have had a treatment in the spa, but again the price was quite high.

Exceptional service, great location and comfortable rooms
Pros:

The Service was exception, Fabian the Hotel Director was there to great us and he also was up very early to see us before departing.
kavi and the new member of the guest relation team (Arun i believe) were helpful and showed us around and checked on us during the stay. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of people in the bar, the restaurant at dinner, breakfast and during the day but everyone was exceptional kind, caring and professional.

Should also thank the chef that came out to ask what we would like to eat and prepared an amazing meal just for us.

Hidden Oasis
Pros:

Stunning property, beautifully integrated into lush greenery with palm trees, ponds, rocks, and two wonderful pools. The retreat truly feels like a hidden oasis, right by one of the most beautiful beaches. Everything looks even better in real life than in the photos.

We stayed in a lovely sea-view bungalow with a balcony, accessed via a charming wooden bridge. We almost saw more wildlife from our balcony than on our safaris — birds, monkeys, water monitors, and even porcupines. Every bungalow is different, and each one is beautiful.

The food was absolutely delicious (go for the traditional Sri Lankan dishes), there’s a great breakfast selection and amazing cocktails. The staff are lovely and made us feel genuinely welcomed and well cared for throughout our stay.

We also enjoyed the complimentary well-guided yoga lessons and had booked some spa treatments — they are on the pricier side, but absolutely worth it.

We can’t wait to come back!

Cons:

Everything is wonderful. A wardrobe to hang clothes would be great though. Some simple gym equipment a like free weights, kettlebells and a simple bench - would be a welcome addition to the yoga temple.
