    The shower presser could be improved.

    Restaurant served fantastic food and all staff were friendly and helpful. Releasing turtles to the ocean was special experience thanks to Janus the owner. The WiFi was good.

    Perfect start of our road trip. We spent there 2 days. Excellent location, right on the beach. Perfect for the kids. Helpful staff. Nice, cosy bar and restaurant setup on the sand. F&B available all day long (local and international). Dont expect much on the room though. Basic room standard. Nothing fancy.

    Good location direct on the beach. Janu and his staff was really nice and did everything to make our stay unforgetable. In the restaurant you can enjoy the beautiful sunset with your feets in the sand and it has a good diversity of food and it‘s very tasty. The beach is so quiet and perfect to relaxx and enjoy! We would defenitly come back.

    We loved the location of the hotel. This hotel was our last four days in Sri Lanka and we wanted to relax on the beach so the hotel was perfect. We did not leave the hotel as the food and drink were all lovely with lots of choice and great prices for a hotel on the beach. Last but not least a thank you to the amazing staff, it is small hotel so we knew them all. They made our stay even better. They work so hard to make you feel welcome they are a credit to the hotel.

    Location on one of the best beaches in sri lanka. A good feeling hotel felt more comfortable with everyday. Staff good but could be better at the bar,but the boss man has that in order. Food is better than most surrounding restaurants &reasonably priced. Look forward to going back.Nothing

    Nice hotel, good value, but be forewarned if you book a double room.

    We booked a double room, which was very nice. However, the double rooms are in the back, away from the beach and next to the highway and railroad tracks, which is extremely noisy. We asked for a room change, but the hotel was full. Also, it rained and water was dripping from the ceiling onto the bed. Fortunately, we had a spare bed and could relocate. Be forewarned. Other than that, a nice hotel.

    On the Beach, breakfast, restaurant, staff, pool all good. On the outskirts of the town, remote...need to take a TukTuk to go shopping, but uncrowded beaches.

    The hotel's section of beach is cleaned up in line with neighbouring properties, but there is definitely room for improvement. All sorts of washed up debris, including plastic waste, is raked into a hole every morning and covered with sand - a method that could be reconsidered for better environmental impact.

    We are generally satisfied with the hotel. The staff is friendly and attentive. The room and bathroom are clean and there is plenty of storage space. The food is good but nothing special. Guests from other hotels also eat here, so it is advisable to book a table. As in many resorts, some guests claim the sun beds early in the morning by putting towels on them and returning to bed. Unfortunately, the hotel has little control over this practice.

    The shower pressure wasn't amazing, but this may have been a one time issue.

    The beach was super quiet, felt like we had it all to ourselves. The staff were incredibly helpful in organizing snorkeling and surfboard rentals, etc.

    We had a bit bad luck with our room with the only window right into the entry hall. So we had the curtains closed all the time. But also no need to spend time in the room in this nice property right by the beach.

    The location is great, right by the beach with sun beds for all guests. The beach is beautiful and less crowded. The staff was very kind and helpful. Both the Sri Lankan and the Continental breakfast were really good!

    The hotel is very close to a busy road and railway line- we had ear plugs so it didn’t disturb our sleep, but it could do. Also our shower was cool - not a problem after being in the hot sun, but not so pleasant first thing.

    A great, unpretentious place to spend a couple of days. The beach area was lovely, the food superb (fish platter was 10 out of 10) and I loved the 2 golden retrievers .
