Sehr schönes Hotel
Pros:

Unglaublich freundlichen und hilfsbereites Personal. Ganz neues, sehr sauberes Zimmerman. Gutes Restaurant mit frischem Fisch. Tolle Ayurveda-Anwendungen zu einem guten Preis. Sicherer Parkplatz. Sicheres Schwimmen im Meer auch bei rauher See

Cons:

Die Straße auf dem Weg zum Hotel könnte besser sein

Nice hotel, wrong location.
Pros:

Beautifull, well constructed, hotel with very friendly staff. 2 great swimming pools and good breakfast.

Cons:

Location is just wrong. There is no beach (as is in there name!!), what is supposed to be a beach is a working fishing harbour packed with rocks, boats and fish heads. The hotel is a 30min+ TukTuk ride away from Tangelle. TukTuk drivers don't want to go there because of the distance and very bad roads. They will charge you extra if they go there at all. In the surroundings there are no shops, restaurants etc. etc. So you need to go to Tangelle town ( which was also reasonably quiet when we were there ).

We left a day early as we were the only guests in the hotel, what feels very weird.

Pros:

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The room we eventually ended up with was wonderful, overlooking the infinity pool and ocean. It was a beautiful location to relax for a couple of days.

Cons:

We booked a deluxe suite but on the first night we were gently steered towards a deluxe double room instead. It being late and us tired we didn't question it until the next day when we saw the difference in quality of the rooms. The manager immediately moved us on request but can't help wonder why he down graded us originally because the hotel was virtually empty. No biggy but this negative experience could have been easily avoided.
The menu has very limited vegetarian options. What there is is very nice, but if you were there for a week or so you'd probably tire of the same 2 or 3 choices

Zimmer mit Blick auf den Sonnenaufgang
Pros:

Sehr tolle Aussicht und sauberes Zimmer. Sehr viele verschiedene Pflanzen- und Tierarten auf dem Hotelgelände.
Bieten eine gute Auswahl an Essensmöglichkeiten an.
Der Strand Richtung Tangalle war zu unserem Aufenthalt menschenleer, einfach ein wunderschöner und einzigartiger Strand! Sehr tolle Aussicht auf den Sonnenaufgang aus unserem Zimmer heraus.

Cons:

Leider gab es auf dem Pizzabrett offensichtlich Schimmel auf den wir hingewiesen, jedoch keine Entschuldigung oder Entschädigung erhalten haben.

Lovely hotel but a bit isolated.
Pros:

Beautiful property & very well maintained. Great pools & brilliant views & spacious rooms.

Cons:

The location is not great, it’s at the end of a very long & extremely basic track that our driver found hard to navigate. There is absolutely no signage to the hotel & when we went out at night our taxi got very lost on the dark dirt tracks!
It is also not on the beach, though there is a beautiful beach a 5-10 minute walk from hotel.

Amazing choice for chill facing Indian Ocean with natural splendour.
Pros:

Exceptional for some one who appreciates freedom from hustle and bustle environment. Ideal get away to unwind when you’re on holiday. Very elegant architecture and spotlessly clean . Owner of the property Guyan is always onsite to ensure the hospitality offered to client goes to plan. You’re right in front of the Indian Ocean where pristine crystal clear water mass is always on your eye line. Unspoilt beach and it’s simply a paradise hidden away in the south of Sri Lanka. The restaurant staff were amazing. Chaturanga in particular with his experience and exposure into the industry made our stay very comfortable. Would like to mention Ravi too for his attentive service. Spa staff were credible and it certainly enhanced the value of the property.

Cons:

Nothing none what so ever !

Il piacere di una struttura di livello
Pros:

L'hotel è molto bello e ha una terrazza ristorante con una vista stupenda sul mare. Anche la piscina è con vista e abbastanza ampia. Abbiamo cenato con piacere all'interno dell'hotel e la colazione è stata generosa. La camera, ampia e confortevole, ci ha molto soddisfatto con un bagno bellissimo ed un grande terrazzo, veramente stupendo.

Cons:

L'accesso alla spiaggia è un po' difficoltoso, con ripidi gradini e sterrato per raggiungerla.
