Our stay at this oceanfront hotel was pure magic. The highlight was definitely the stunning views at the Indian Ocean during meal and high quality spa massages. Our room was clean, spacious, and the balcony was the perfect spot to watch the sunset. The perfect blend of relaxation and natural beauty. Special thanks to to Mr. Tharindu, who provides best service.

A beautiful hotel stay with stunning sea views and peaceful surroundings. The staff were polite, the dinner was tasty and the pool ( could not enjoy much due to rain) and beach access made the stay extra relaxing. Our spacious room with a sunset view was the highlight. A memorable and calming time and highly recommended (5 star stay)

We booked a triple room, so a single bed was added to the room in advance. The room is on the first floor, and you can walk across the lawn to the sea! The waves on this side are relatively large, and you need to go to another place with a breakwater to swim. The price of the hotel is very affordable, and the included breakfast and dinner are also OK!

Dissatisfied, the room is very cold and wet, and there is a smell of paint, there are footprints on the bed, and the sheets are dirty. The only waiter has a good attitude, but he will not come again
