Our Valuable Customers ratings & Reviews
"We only stopped here for a coffee but loved it. Very kind staff and amazing view from the restaurant. I can recommend the affogato!"
We stayed here for 3 nights and had a lovely time. Rooms were very spacious and just 2 months old. Everything looked and felt luxorious. The pools were great. Staff was amazingly friendly and the food was good too. Amazing place to hide away from busy Sri Lanka for a few days, albeit that it’s a tad expensive.
The location is perfect for relaxation on the pool. There is a wild beach nearby, 5 min walk, very beautiful as well, calm ocean, easy to swim. The room is large and clean, service friendly, tasty food at the restaurant. There is available wine list and beverages at the bar. You can find nearby some other choices to eat dinner. Always fresh fish available, depends on the chefs ability 🙂 to be cooked good or great. Quiet, perfect for a relaxing holiday. The sunrise is amazing!
Rooms clean and spacious. Great views. Nice pool, calm too. Service was slow, unfortunually., this not meeting value for price expectations.Nearly half an hour wait between order and delivery, even when being first in breakfast restaurant.
We only stopped here for a coffee but loved it. Very kind staff and amazing view from the restaurant. I can recommend the affogato!
Beautiful view out on to the ocean! Really kind staff taking care of us. We had the best affogato!
Peaceful quaint resort with a beautiful view of the beach! Loved their service, very warm and welcoming staff. Their affogato is a must try for coffee lovers.
Nice place, quiet and relaxing. If you are looking for remoted place for relax this is the one. Nice big swimming pool. On the other hand the beach is down under the hill (7 minutes) and is more for fishermen than for swimming. The sand is dirty but ocean is calm and you can swim there. The hotel is expanding (building new building next to current place) so it can make noise occasionally and who know how this place will change in 2025.
