    It was very quiet and relaxing. The little infinity pool was a bonus.

    The mattress was a bit hard as were the loungers on the beach. I did notice that the cushions for the beach loungers were the same as for the property next door, which I think belonged to a Sheraton so this may be what's available in the area.

    The breakfast was delicious. I was able to pre-order the night before so they could ensure the had what I wanted and it was freshly prepared. I also ate dinner at the property which was equally delicious. The staff were very attentive and friendly, and the owner came to check on things daily.

    Lovely Hotel, facing the beach. The owner, Pujeet is a wonderful host. Looked after us very well. The Manager Tushar is also very good accommodated all our needs. The hotel is virtually on the beach and not crowded so it almost felt like we had our own private beach. Loved it all.

    We stopped off here on our way to the airport and we are very glad we did. It is perfectly located right on a beautiful beach with the waves crashing all around. The team were full of smiles and very helpful - they took our dinner order (my wife is vegan) and then went to the market to buy fresh produce. It is a simple place, but all the better for it.

    Amazing location right on the beach. Lots of outdoor seating and hammocks and swings to soak up the view! Sea was powerful but nice to swim in if you were careful and are a confident swimmer. There are strong waves and currents too. The food was delicious- seafood so fresh. The staff warm and welcoming, very friendly. Bed very large and comfortable and shower powerful once we got the hang of it! The owner even took us to a nearby turtle sanctuary where we learnt about the turtles and saw various ages. We were able to release some into the ocean near the hotel!

    As soon as we arrived we felt really welcome. The hotel was in a wonderful location on a quiet beach. Hotel was also quiet, atmospheric and tidy. Hotel staff and the owner were really kind and helpful, they also speak really good english which made managing things easy. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel and all food was fresh and tasty. We highly recommend a visit there!

    Wish we could still be there now!

    This place his a true gem, to the extent we stayed longer than originally planned. The owner is a true gentleman who does his utmost to ensure you have a great stay. We loved everything at this place; the room, the restaurant, every member of staff we met were so pleasant and really kind to our little boy. The proximity to the beach and the view from the balcony was just the best, a real slice of paradise and I wouldn't hesitate to return here, true 10/10.

    Nothing to add.

    This place is like a little slice of paradise. Quiet, private, excellent service, excellent food. Beach is amazing and easily accessed from the private yard. Sea is rough but warm. Rooms were big and clean, and there is no way to have a better view. One day we even spotted a turtle laying eggs in front of the hotel 😀 Food was really good, the sauces were tasty. We even had lobster one night, one of the best dishes I have ever eaten. I want to give special thanks to Thusbar (sorry of I write name incorrectly) and the staff for always taking care of our needs with a smile. In case you want to indulge yourself with massage, there is a great place nearby. You ask from the manager who is always also there to help. All in all, we could have not asked a better start for our holiday.

    That we only had 4 nights - could have stayed much longer.

    Fabulous large clean room and bathroom with superb balcony overlooking the beautiful Kosgoda beach. The owner and staff were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble. Comfy sun loungers and swing chairs to sunbathe or watch the sunset. Nice small pool to cool off in. Cosy restaurant and bar in the garden. A++

    nothing

    This hotel is absolutely nice, rooms are very big and comfortable, everything is clean, staff is doing a really good job, breakfast is good, food is good, location is good, two steps from the beach, you can have a nice walk on the beach. supermarket 10mins away walking, souvenirs shop, but if you look for a crowded place, with many restaurants or bars , its not, you go to kosgoda for relaxing and being almost “alone”. So now special thank to our man, Thushara, the caretaker, he is absolutely kind and always here if you need something, i think its the best guy i have met in 1 month in SL. so kind, so professional. thank you my friend. we will surely come back just to see you because you were a great encounter. this place absolutely worth the visit if you want calm and relaxing beach not far from Colombo.

    Nothing, it’s all perfect

    The Pleasure has been my favourite place in Sri Lanka. this small hotel is so peaceful, in such a beautiful location with the beach at your feet, but a nice big garden with hammocks and chair swings. The rooms are spacious, quiet, with balconies. the food is great. However the thing that makes this place special is the people. They cannot do enough to make your stay the best you could ask for, they’re always there and smiling and ready to help. In addition they clearly care about the environment and the nature around them. If I didn’t have a time limited visa I think I wouldn’t have left!

    All good

    Beautiful location, hotel has 3 rooms, so the 6 of us had the place to ourselves. The property is on the beach, so you can walk across the garden straight onto the beach. Rooms are large and clean. Staff are polite and attentive. Bentota is 15 minutes away, 1500 rupees by Tuk Tuk, Pier 88 is a good place for food.
