Excellent
Pros:

An absolute paradise! The hotel features two pristine, excellent swimming pools. Both breakfast and dinner were exceptional every single day. Our room was incredibly spacious with ultra-comfortable beds. Best of all, the ocean views directly from the room were out of this world! Every staff member we encountered—including the front desk team, the hotel manager, and the food and beverage manager—was incredibly warm and attentive.

Cons:

None

Fantastic
Pros:

We had a fantastic time at this hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed. The staff was always helpful, kind, and did everything they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible, with special thanks to Sereka FIB, Asoka, Mahande, Sumittra, Pasedu, and Kavish.

We also want to mention the sweet dog, Judi, who gave us so much love throughout our entire stay and was constantly by our side.

The room was clean, comfortable, and was carefully maintained every day by Subbadra and Nuan. The food was also delicious, with plenty of choice and fresh dishes. The location of the hotel was perfect: peaceful, yet still close to the beach and local attractions.

We truly felt welcome here and would without hesitation recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. Thank you to the entire team for the wonderful hospitality. We definitely hope to come back again!

We miss you all very much.

Tom and Sylvia

静かにサンセットを眺めて過ごす
Pros:

部屋からサンセットを見ることができる素晴らしいロケーションだった。岩場ではあるが、部屋を出ればすぐに海辺。ビーチへも歩いていくことができる。ホテルやレストランが乱立してる割には静かで、治安も良かった。レストランもお手頃価格でシーフードを堪能でき、満足することができた。

Cons:

道すがらに案内がないので、地図の通りに向かっていても、他のホテルの案内はあってもここのホテルの案内がないため、少し不安を感じた。ついたときは、見た目も素敵なホテルだったのでほっとした。

Ok, under forventet
Pros:

Beliggenhet, store rom, hyggelig personal

Cons:

Ustabilt internett og aircondition. Maur og mygg på rommet. Ble matforgiftet, sannsynligvis av maten fra hotellets restaurant (hadde kun spist der de foregående 36 timene før sykdom).

Decent location and amazing staff but the place needs to be renovated.
Pros:

The room was spacious and the pool area was lovely. The staff were amazing and couldn’t be more helpful.

Cons:

The pictures on booking.com are old. The place js pretty run down now and the “gym” was nothing like the pictures. It also states “beachfront” but you cannot access the beach as it is just dangerous rocks.
