The buffet breakfast was great and the breakfast chef. There seemed to be a lot of staff loitering but not accommodating
Pros:

Close to the main strip of Unawatuna for the shops and cafes.

The attitude of the staff and lack of accommodating.

Cons:

Wer auf Kakalaken in der Toilette und im Badezimmer steht, der kann dieses Hotel buchen. Im Bad ist ein nicht gegen Insekten gesichertes Holzfenster (mit Lamellen) gewesen, durch die die ungebetenen Gäste hineingekommen sind. Frühstück war nichts für den Übernachtungspreis.

An incredible stay
Pros:

What an amazing stay! The out of the 5 different accommodation units we changed in Sri Lanka, by far! Incredible service, amazing facilities, and a great, wide, lesser crowded beach to enjoy - with amazing bites at the hotel's restaurant. Couldn't recommend it more, a real gem!
