“The wild peacocks, the kingfishers, tortoises below your cabin. The fire flies at night were amazing, we have never experienced anything like it before . This is a little piece of rainforest heaven, that everyone in their lifetime should experience.
The tour with sammie was amazing,. I am so glad we only booked with him after watching other groups. We held cute wild snakes, seen frog mouthed owls, scorpions, butterflies the size of birds, there is too much to list. His wife cooked the best food we have ever tasted and both were lovely hosts . Nothing was too much trouble . They have definitely made our stay in Sri Lanka the best .
There was perfect communication and it was very easy to get to. A stones throw away from the entrance of the rainforest entrance. We would definitely return but for longer than two days next time, Thank you x”
“We had a beautifull room with ocean view. Ac was good and the bathroom was clean. Staff was really respectful and helpfully. Location is right in front of the beach.”
“Fantastic location , delicious food and friendly staff service”
“The bed was very comfortable”
“Loved this hotel its right on the beach & the food was the best we had in Sri Lanka, Sudtorma (?) was our waiter & looked after us like family & Lipul & Dahlargaya (?) in the bar were always there when a cocktail was needed ! To top it off having dinner on the beach on our last night a turtle came right up to us to lay her eggs ,one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen. 100% recommend staying here.”
“We stayed 6 days in this wonderful hotel and it was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip in Sri Lanka!!! The hotel is located in front of the beach and guarantees full immersion in the natural frame with the breathtaking view on the sea and at same time with the comfort and services of the luxury hotel. Furthermore, it is close to interesting tourist areas, amazing beaches, restaurants,…The hotel is modern, cosy, furnished with great taste and sense of details, everything is perfectly clean, the swimming pool is amazing, the food is delicious!!! And the kindness and helpfulness of the owners and staff are just outstanding and make you feel being home. THANK YOU for the stay that we will remember as one of our best hotel stays!”
