    The distance to Bentota meant we could not walk there which would have been our preference

    Having both a swimming pool and easy access to the beach meant we had the best of both worlds

    Very friendly staff, the size of the rooms (we had 2) was awesome with a clear view to the beach and the pool along with a balcony, access to the beach was very comfortable. Breakfast was good and the spread was appropriate. The staff takes the cake, just everyone made it so good!

    Very poor breakfast, quite far away from Bentota, good shops and calm ocean appropriate to swim. Overpriced place and restaurants around in comparison with south of Sri Lanka.

    Very early check-in (we came at 7.30 am and checked in immediately without additional charge), lovely area with coconut palms, private balcony with outstanding ocean view, good and clean swimming pool, perfect location for lazy holidays, picturesque rocks and wide sandy beach 5 km long, no crowds of tourists at all.

    Poor choice for breakfast, food left uncovered with flies every where. The waiters don't understand basic requests,just laugh between themselves. The owner only interested in you if you book tours with him, rest of the time he ignores you. Non residents take over the sun loungers, leaving residents struggling to find one.

    Good location on a great beach. Nice pool. Good shower with hot water. The waitress is the only one who could speak and understand english,she was very helpful.

    The cleening service should be more often initiated by themselves. They cleaned our room only after we say that to the recptionist.

    We liked the place close to the private beach. The beach was very clean and everyday ready for use. It´s great stay here with kids. We traveled with one year old baby and it was perfect. He could go everywhere and we didn´t need to be woried about him. Room was large and you can use cot for baby that´s great. Food was very good and staff was friendly but they can not speak english very well. But what we need we had it. So we can recommend this accomodation.

    The breakfast was awful, nothing covered, and flies everywhere. The hotel is to far from anywhere, nothing much within walking distance . The pool was unusable at times during our stay due to building work to the hotel we were not notified b4 our trip. There was only 4 loungers by the oil for a medium hotel. The menu for food and drinks was very expensive, double the price of other places we stayed in sri lanka.

    The hotel was located on a beautiful beach. Spacious rooms and balcony with pool and sea view

    Very cozy hotel with a private beach. We felt very welcome. The breakfast and dinner was great. The staff are very accommodating, they tried their best to make our stay amazing. Even the owner was helping us with our enquirers. The rooms are fairly comfortable with a stunning view of the ocean. Everything was just awesome!

    - Breakfast has a room for improvement, it lacks variety and some meals did not meet our expectations - There is only one cleaning guy, sometimes you need to specifically ask him to clean your room - Bathroom fixtures are old and should be replaced. Everything works though

    - Spacious room with air conditioning, fridge and a big nice bed - Every room has a balcony with the ocean view - Every day cleaning and free water bottles - An incredible scenic beach just 50m away from the pool. There were like 5 people on this beach at all times. - There are sunbeds at the pool and at the beach. Towels are provided by the hotel. - The pool is nice, our kid enjoyed it very much - Location is very quiet, there are mostly villas nearby, no big hotels. You can eat at the hotel, the food is ok. There are also some restaurants at the beach and a 5-star hotel restaurant nearby. If you need a supermarket or shops, there are always a couple tuk-tuks near the hotel, the ride to Bentota is like 5-7 minutes

    The location and sand beach is THE BEST in Sri Lanka, the hotel staff is very friendly and speak English, Russian and German. Hotel owner is a great guy, he organized a tour for hotel guests free of charge. Hotel also organized an awesome romantic dinner for us on the beach. I can't say enough about how great this hotel is, you have to visit to see. Recommend all 100%

    We spent here a wonderful time! This is a very nice property, very clean and well kept. It is right on a nice beach and the hotel itself has a lovely pool (every day cleaning). The rooms are large with nice big balconies, sea-facing. The breakfast is very good. The staff are lovely and polite.
