    Very friendly and helpful staff, we were almost the only guests and they cooked special Srilankan breakfast for us. Just a few steps to the beach.

    Decent place to spend Christmas

    Once or twice, in the evenings, a bit of a party atmosphere arose down by the pool, with loud music and fairly loud guests. We stayed in our room when this happened - it wouldn’t have been nice to go for a swim. We ate lunch from the à la carte menu at the hotel’s restaurant, after we checked out, and the experience was quite disappointing. The food was relatively expensive, took over an hour to come, and the portions were very small, and unfortunately it was not very tasty – my grilled prawns for instance were very dry, and moreover, what came was not exactly what was listed on the menu (different sauce and vegetables). Dogs – One evening we ventured out of the hotel to try and find a restaurant on one of the nearby roads, but it was a scary experience – there was no street lighting, and there were many stray dogs, some of which would bark at us aggressively. Subsequently, we would only walk along the beach at dark, not the roads (although the beach has its own stray dogs). Occasionally there were stray dogs in the grounds of the hotel, too. The AC broke once, but the staff fixed it in fairly short order.

    We had a pleasant two-night stay here over Christmas. I was a bit worried by some of the reviews, but I needn’t have been. It was the most expensive place we stayed at in Sri Lanka, but we were happy to pay for the experience we had. The hotel itself is a decent size, it doesn’t feel too big, and it has a good-sized, well-kept pool that I enjoyed swimming in many times. The pool was generally fairly quiet (although not always - see my negative points), and there were times when we had it all to ourselves. The room was comfortable, with a nice bed, a strong shower, good AC, and a kettle with tea and coffee that was replenished daily. Mosquitos were not a problem! The hotel has its own private access to the (public) beach, with eight sun loungers for hotel guests on the sand at the point that the private path meets the beach. The beach itself is very pretty, but note that the water is very shallow and, at least when we were there, the waves were quite rough, so it was not possible to swim in the ocean. It was easy to walk to other restaurants along the beach front. There was a nice mix of Sri Lankan guests and foreigners. However, it was Christmas, and so perhaps this wasn’t usual.

    The beach lounger at the beach are a bit "lost" and unloving (no covers, mixed up...).

    Very friendly staff :)! Nice property with a beautiful garden :)! Direct access to the beach (just a small walk). Large rooms with balcony.

    Nothing at all. Accidentally broke a cup. No big deal charge £10.00 for a cup which cost 20p rob dogs

    Not much. Bugs and all rooms flood. Bugs are major issue in room and can't keep them out even with doors and windows closed 24/7

    The hotel and its location was right on the beach via a private pathway.. the tropical gardens and very large swimming pool with comfortable sunbeds were amazing. The staff were so helpfull and polite and the rooms really comfortable. Cant wait to return again soon.

    Really overpriced (for the area) at £220 per night. It’s more expensive than a lot of hotels in the area and we expected more luxury than what the hotel offered. Basics could be improved on. Examples which spring to mind: our room smelling like drainage, the tea & coffee included in the morning breakfast was from a sachet, the wifi wasn’t very good, a cable box provided with the TV but with a plug that doesn’t fit the wall socket. When you’re paying a premium price and some of the basics aren’t there, it’s more disappointing.

    Gorgeous location. The pool area is beautiful. The staff were all incredibly helpful. Our room was spacious and clean.

    The room wasn’t clean for 4 days. Reception staff… There was only one employee who was friendly and helpful. It is a nice girl, unfortunately I forgot her name. Other guys should be retrained. They were not friendly at all and they looked like guests bothered them with their requests. The worst thing was when we asked to remove garbage from the room and saw through window how the guys carrying the bag looked into it, checking what was there and discussing. Anitap thank you for not making this staying wonderful.

    The hotel is good enough, have a nice swimming pool, big rooms. Very beautiful garden and pools with carps. They have parking place also. Good buffet breakfast. They offer a la carte dinner, but we didn’t try it. Want to say thank you for Niroshah for his help and professionalism.
