Pros:

Sehr nettes und bemühtes Personal, sehr gute Lage, sauberes großes Zimmer mit Terrasse.

Cons:

Das einzige ist der Pool. Dieser ist zwar sehr groß jedoch kann man ihn nicht nutzen. Das Wasser ist sichtlich schmutzig inklusive toten Fliegen.

Een rustige oase aan de Oostkust Sri Lanka
Pros:

Vlotte regeling bij technische problemen zoals defecte of slecht afgestelde airco.
Heel vriendelijke medewerkers, zelfs de manager.
Waren geïnteresseerd in ons.
Zeer rustig in het hotel

Cons:

Zou toch op onze kamer een opfrisbeurt mogen hebben.
Bediening in restaurant kon wat vlugger.
Niet alle medewerkers begrijpen Engels maar met Google Translate is het haalbaar

Bed was comfy. Decent breakfast. The guy in the pool bar/breakfast area was very attentive. A short walk to the beach. Enjoyed the BBQ fish at the Wave restaurant with a 10% discount. Air con and fan in the room.

Hotel in general is a little run down but adequate for the price and our requirements

חוצפה שלוקחים מחיר כזה, זה כמו אכסניה
Pros:

מקום פשוט מתחת לכל ביקורת, מלון יקר ותמורה נמוכה מאד. מים במקלחת בקושי היו. לא ממליצה בכלל

Cons:

הכל!
חדרים קטנים, מקלחת מגעילה, הפסקות חשמל, מים בקושי יוצאים
