    Very nice boutique hotel. Got a very spacious ground floor room with big bathroom and own terrace in front of the room. I think a room upgrade. Good restaurant on site. Weather was not supportive much to use swimming pool but it looked nice and must be a plus on sunny day. Direct beach access, but no walking on the beach really as it is short ending with rocks on both sides.

    Limited choice for breakfast, but more than enough. There is a menu with few options. For two days it was okay but for longer holiday it can be an issue.

    Huge room with balcony, beach view, beautiful garden. The pool was also great. The bed was comfortable. The staff is very nice and supportive, they speak English. The mask museum just 10 mins walk.

    We suggested to the Drinks and Beverages Manager that it would be a great improvement to have a means of ordering drinks and snacks from the garden/pool area. At the time we stayed, the only way to order a drink or snack was to get up and go back into the reception area (not ideal). Hopefully they will find a way to make this happen which would not only help guests to relax but also offer an opportunity to create more revenue for the hotel. We also suggested the hotel provided a bin by the beach so guests could dispose of their own litter as well as anything they could collect from the beach to keep the beach area clean and safe - this they did immediately.

    Our room was incredibly large with a huge balcony overlooking the beach which was amazing.The bed was comfortable and everything was kept clean by the housekeeping staff. The staff overall were very friendly and tried their very best to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. They brought in wine for us to have with dinner and every day asked what we would like to have to eat. The garden leading down to the beach was beautifully maintained and we enjoyed seeing the kingfishers in the grounds every day, the waves crashing on the rocks in the sea and the absolute beauty of the outlook. We enjoyed dinner on our balcony three times and once in the garden and we loved walking along the beach to the only beach bar for lunch. The massages from the in-house masseuse were also a highlight of our stay here. Thoroughly recommend a stay at R Degrees and would go back in a heartbeat.

    This is a wonderful boutique hotel, literally on the most stunning stretch of beach, a long golden stretch of sand and super quiet. All the staff were so hospitable and friendly. The rooms were large, bight and well appointed, the pool is gorgeous and there is lots of space to sit and enjoy a drink and a bite to eat.

    An excellent stay away from some of the busy tourist hot spots

    As much as the food was excellent my advice would be to stick with the local cuisine options as these were far superior to international dishes.

    This was a surprisingly good stay! As a small boutique hotel the staff were warm, attentive and welcoming. Check in was super easy and we were in our room within minutes. The room was newly furnishes with modern décor, large with good facilities. The large sliding doors opened onto a patio with a table and chairs and then walk out with access to the pool and beach areas. The pool was pleasant, the access to the beach is great with a private grassed area which you can relax on and then wonder on the public beach at your leisure. The beach was not at all busy and actually quite nice, although the sea was a little rough for leisurely swimming. The kitchen staff were accommodating, the food was excellent.

    There is much more to ask for when it comes to the kitchen. We stayed for many days, and the dinner options was almost the same every evening, with only slight variation. It is a pity that only ”western” food of average quality is offered, it would have been great with Sri Lankan food among the dinner alternatives. The breakfast could also have been better… The staff varied, some were attentive, while others were not.

    The room was fantastic with a beautiful garden and ocean view. The location is great, with a quiet beach, far from all the turisty places. The pool is great and well maintained, so is the garden. As there are only 12 rooms the athmosphere is relaxing. In contrary to previous reviews, WiFi worked very well.

    For us it was a bit too off the beaten track, although the food was good, it would have been nice to be able to have something different and there was nowhere else to go. Staff are lovely but can be a bit too attentive.

    The hotel is clean, fresh and inviting, it has amazing views onto the beach, comfortable rooms and the staff are very attentive. Laksiri was a wonderful member of staff, who kept the balance perfect, of being helpful but not too over keen to please.

    BEAUTIFUL, very spacious room! Probably the best we've stayed in Sri-lanka. Helpful staff Their Sri-lankan dinner IS truly amazing! The place itself didn't have many guests, so we enjoyed solitude to the fullest.
