    The hotel is modern and really clean. The staff was very friendly and always helpful. The position is right in front of the local beach and we loved it.

    No negatives.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming boutique hotel that offers an exceptional beachfront experience. After spending several days exploring nearby accommodations, I discovered this brand-new gem on my final day and opted for their budget room. To my delight, it was the most spacious and impeccably clean budget room I’ve encountered in the area, complete with a TV and lightning-fast Wi-Fi. Although meals weren’t included with the budget room, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant provided delectable and affordable dining options. I enjoyed both dinner and breakfast there, savoring the delicious cuisine while taking in the stunning beach views. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, readily offering information about numerous nearby attractions. The hotel’s prime location ensures easy access to the city and popular activities such as surfing, whale watching and turtle feeding. Safety is a top priority here, and I felt secure throughout my stay. With a variety of room types to suit different budgets, I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to fellow travelers. My only regret is not discovering it earlier during my visit to the area.

    Brwakfast was iconic to start with a juice. However would recommend seeking different elements from breakfast rather than what you have on meat. Buffet would be ideal too.

    The only downside to my stay was the lack of hot water, which was a bit inconvenient at times. However, this did not overshadow the overall positive experience I had.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at Cocos Polhena, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The cleanliness of the entire place was impeccable — every corner was spotless, and it felt like a home away from home. The attention to detail in maintaining a neat and tidy environment really stood out.

    I wouldn't recommend this place for a longer stay. The location is not so good and it feels more like a business hotel than a place for leisure.

    It's a good place for a one night stay, very close to the beach. The hotel building is brand new. The room is big and the bathroom is good. We had Sri Lankan breakfast, it was okay, tasted good and the portions were okay, nothing fancy. The staff was helpful, they provided us with an adapter to the sockets, were ready to assist any moment.
