Lugar nuevo cuidado al detalle
Pros:

Está todo nuevo y muy cuidado, la ubicación es cerca de la playa de Hiriketiya pero también cerca de la playa de Dickwella. Alquilamos una moto con ellos y nos recomendaron sitios donde ir, también nos han ayudado con el taxi para recogernos al aeropuerto y para nuestro siguiente destino. Además cuando llegamos no teníamos adaptador de corriente y nos dejaron uno. Por último mencionar también que nos limpiaron cada día la habitación.

Cons:

Recomendamos ir con tiempo a desayunar, no van especialmente rápidos.

Peaceful stay in busy town
Pros:

Great value for money! The hotel is in a lovely, quiet area, which made for a really peaceful stay. It is up a small hill, but it’s honestly only about a 3-minute walk, so not an issue at all. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and I really appreciated being able to get fresh, clean beach towels whenever needed. Would definitely recommend!

Cons:

The breakfast provided was lovely and a nice addition to the stay. One suggestion would be to offer a simple menu or a few options for guests to choose from beforehand, particularly for dietary requirements such as vegetarian options. This would help ensure guests receive something suitable for them while also minimising unnecessary food waste.

Pros:

We werden vriendelijk ontvangen door de gastheer en het overige personeel.

De kamer was netjes, ruim en op loopafstand van het strand. Houd er wel rekening mee dat het vanaf het strand wel een steile klim terug omhoog is. We verbleven hier vier nachten en zijn gedurende ons hele verblijf vriendelijk en gastvrij geholpen!

Excellent Accommodation highly recommend
Pros:

Lovely new property with attention to detail. Looks just as the photos show. Lovely having breakfast on the rooftop with great options. We enjoyed the top floor facing the water. Located between the bays easy walk to either beach and lots of restaurants/cafe. It is on the hill which then gives the view and breeze. Also love that they have a water fountain to refill your water bottle. Staff are all very friendly and helpful with anything you need. 👏🏻

Cons:

May a couple more sun umbrellas and fans on the rooftop.
