    The rooms are new, super clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay a lot. We were sad that we did not find this place sooner as we stayed in a bad stay before this in Tangalle. The breakfast is also very nice.

    Недалеко от прикольного пляжа Сайлент Бич, в комнате все свежее и стильное. Очень классный англоязычный персонал. Вкусный и полноценный завтрак.

    Snídaně na přání lokální a naprosto vynikající. Pokoje prostorné, čisté a vybavení nové a ručníků dostatek i navíc na pláže.

    Super sauber und tolles Essen! Wir sind nachts abgereist und konnten deswegen unser gebuchtes Frühstück nicht wahrnehmen. So haben die Gastgeber uns ein Mittagessen zu bereitet. Das war der beste Burger den wir in ganz Sri Lanka gegessen haben 🫶🏻
