Good
Pros:

Location is accessible to main road so that you can walk towards to city center no need even Tuktuk.The people are friendly they recommend great breakfast spot I visited everyday.

Cons:

Could have been cleaner inside the room and I believe they don’t clean pool much since people are not really using.If you dont like lizards bugs could be hard to stay since they visit room often:)

Poor
Pros:

Only the care takers are good

Cons:

A security guard was the only person to welcome us. Who could not speak or understand a word of English. Such a shame the host Mr Franco was only bothered about the payment and not arranged for anyone to receive us. The rooms in the pictures are misleading in size and comfort.
Also the room allotted to us was room 1 and 2 according to Franco. But we were given 2 and 3. When I told him about this he had no clue who was in room 1.
Our passports were not checked on arrival. He did not bother to come meet us the next day . The worst hospitality ever. I was worried about the safety of this property if anyone could walk in without a background check.
The rooms had cockroaches mosquitos and we all have bed bug bites, The doors don’t close securely you can push and they despite being latched from inside.
The worst experience ever.

Beautiful villa and garden in a nice quiet part of Ahangama
Pros:

Great location near an area we know well. Beautiful converted villa. Especially great when its sunny with the great pool and lush gardens. Would be great to stay there with another couple / friends you know, to be able to settle into villa a little more.

Cons:

Pool was not cleaned when we were there, so a bit buggy. Front of property was a bit messy (tools left out etc), but think they were renovating it.

Night porter literally locked up villa at 9, which made us feel we couldn't use outdoor table or common areas, so everyone staying kept themselves in their rooms as a result when they returned for the evening.

Not big things, but just comments that could have made stay even better.

Very Comfortable Stay
Pros:

We loved the location as it was only a few minutes from the beach. We also love the pool and communal living room and outdoor chilling space.

Nice place, terrible management.
Pros:

The villa is nice, with stilish furniture and an amazing swimming pool. The room we had was in the back of the villa, a bit noisy as it was on the street and with no view.

Cons:

We had a terrible experience with the Tuk Tuk driver suggested by the property. He threatened our private taxi and forced him to go away, because he wanted to force us to pay him the double to leave the villa. Same happened to other guests a few hours before. We highlighted this to the property manager but he took no actions and no responsibility for this, even though he knew what was going on. They advertise this as 5 star, but for sure this is not a 5 star treatment.
