Reviews
The surroundings / pool are well maintained.
Sri Lankan breakfasts are delicious and freshly cooked.
We would happily return in the future
Vivian met us and explained about the place and options and as well as customized to our veg food needs.
Evening dinner staff were also very cooperative and helpful.
We are glad we selected this hotel for stay, complete value for money!!
The service is excellent. The staff is hospitable, always with a smile, caring and helpful. You can ask any stupid questions you have about your stay or ask for help arranging a ride - the staff will help you. I will miss these guys.
The hotel itself is in a neat nook a bit away from.the main street. To me it looks quite stylish and modern. The pool is hidden within the building, so it really private and comfy
5 minute walk and you're on the beach, a whole lot of great cafes nearby at your service
The pool is a bit small and some tiles are chipped and require replacement, otherwise the territory is immaculate
As for the room - there were a few minor issues with the bathroom, but all in all - they're clean, great a/c, pretty roomy and have everything you need (if your's does not just ask the staff)
Breakfast to me was pretty good - it might not be lavish, but all dishes are tasty and fresh juice is a nice touch so I'm sold
Basically - a very nice hotel for a sweet price. Great for traveller's on a budget or people, who enjoy a chill environment
Definitely would recommend staying
