Toll - gerne wieder
Pros:

Weitläufig, im grünen, bestes Frühstück der Reise, Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft. Große Zimmer, sauber, …

Cons:

Die Massage würde ich nicht empfehlen - eher ein streicheln als ein massieren. Aber das ist ja Geschmacksache

Heerlijk ontspannen bijkomen na een rondreis!
Pros:

Fantastische villa. Heerlijk strand (goyambokka)! In tegenstelling tot het bekende Silent Beach heel fijn strand en leuke strandtentjes. Zwembad ook heerlijk met bedjes erbij en daarnaast het restaurantgedeelte voor een heerlijk ontbijt 's ochtends.

Cons:

Er liepen te eenvoudig honden het complex binnen. Eenvoudig op te lossen door een hek te maken naar het strand die automatisch dicht valt als je erdoor bent.

Pros:

On the beach - nice and quiet.

Very peaceful and rustic.

Cons:

Nothing was open nearby, no beach bars or resturants so ended up having to eat at the hotel.

Appreciate it just into low season, but a heads up with have been appreciated.

Even got a tuk tuk into Tangalle, and found nothing open other than fast food.

Great wildlife and amazing location, with great staff just a pity about the wild dogs and poor wifi.
Pros:

Amazing location just a few metres from a gorgeous beach. Staff were very helpful and they did an amazing Sri Lankan curry with all the best condiments. Don’t need to go out looking for different restaurants it’s all there, learnt our lesson the first night!

Cons:

Wifi did not work at all for the 2 days/nights we were there, what is with all the mangy dogs hanging around the beach and then following you back to the resort and then on to your room!!
One attacked some loose clothing I was carrying after a swim in the sea. It now has bite marks to remember my time at the palms resort!

Juste parfait
Pros:

C’était parfait, la chambre familiale deluxe etait incroyable. Clim obligatoire !
Nous sommes arrivés tard, ils nous ont attendu pour nous préparer le dîner.
Cerise sur le gâteau, la beauté de la plage, eau bleue claire, des vagues pour s’amuser dedans, des beach club pour les transats et se nourrir… on serait bien resté une nuit de plus. Possibilité de profiter des infrastructures malgré le Check out. Top

Cons:

Rien

Right place to enjoy local nature
Pros:

Beach is great, very secluded, although public there were not many strangers, mainly hotel guests. This place allows you to submerge into jungle atmosphere and embrace nature but at the same time feel safe, we saw peacocks, squirrels, mongoose, crabs, fireflies. Great place for family!

Cons:

Due to a structure of cabanas they don't have air conditioners, only fans. It might get very hot.
Food in the main restaurant could be better. Reception is shut from 8pm till 8am.

Sehr schöner Urlaub im Dschungel
Pros:

Die Unterkunft war wie beschrieben, sehr schöne Villa, dass Badezimmer mit einer Mega Dusche. Wir kamen aus dem Dschungel und fühlte uns auch wieder gleich im Dschungel, der Strand war sehr schön mit großen Wellen. Man konnte gut außerhalb essen.

Cons:

Das Frühstück musste man leider am Abend schon vorbestellen, es wäre schöner am Morgen sich zu entscheiden für welches Frühstück man essen möchte

Not a bad place but also not a great place. All around ok.
Pros:

The staff is so kind. Especially the waiters and the cleaning staff. The beach itself is amazing. Ping pong table was nice.

Cons:

The hotel doesn’t have facilities on the beach which is unfortunate. The food is not very good. We ate here twice and it was not at all to our liking. The mattress was stained. Great beach but next time I would stay at a different hotel. The pool hours are limited in my option I would kindly ask if they could close one hour later.
