WiFi not good, none in rooms and weak everywhere else. Okay for us though as had eSIMs.

Great location right on the beach. Staff were lovely.

Large room with big comfortable beds and sea view from top floor. Great fruit stall opposite and supermarket very close. The Saturday market 200 meters away off the beach is also great for fruit, clothes and photos. Easy tuk tuk to Hiri when you want more life.

No WIFI in rooms, which they dont mention in the booking. WIFI available only in some parts of the common areas in the hotel, still very bad Rooms were very clean, still many aunts around and the fridge, even though it was clean, it was old and yellowish, which make it disgusting to put food in it

amazing views from my room, also from the common area. Great vibe in the bar with music. They have as solar panels for power cuts (often times), pretty good Beach in front is empty, beautiful and great for walks They clean every other day, which is great

They did not provide any toiletries(shampooo, shower gel etc) whatsoever, nor extra towels for the beach.

The location was fantastic right by the beach. The facilities are perfect for chilling there all day. The restaurant was also very good and the staff super friendly and helpful.

Top location and really nice rooms

Nice location next to the beach which provides the perfect vacay vibe. What we loved was that it provides a private beach entrance giving the feel of a peaceful stay.

The room was slighted crammed and the setting was unfinished. The food wasn’t great in the hotel but there is a lot of restaurants near so that didn’t bother us.

The location was amazing. The room was a 3 minute walk to the beach. We could hear the waves crashing at night. The staff were amazing and so helpful.

Nothing to not like.

The hotel exceeded all our expectations. The hotel, beach bar, restaurant and staff were excellent. A big thank you to Laksaru who was very helpful. Breakfast and dinner were very fine.

the standard of the rooms was not the highest, some lamps and electrical sockets did not work, ants in the bathroom

the hotel is located on a wide beach, in a quiet bay, which is its greatest asset. The staff is extremely helpful, friendly and smiling. Tasty breakfasts and dinners, delicious drinks from the beach bar. The rooms had a beautiful view of the sea. The standard in the rooms was unfortunately quite low, but it did not bother us, because we spent the whole day visiting the nearby beaches.

The room needed a little maintenance, the towel rail was loose.

We had a fantastic sea view room & balcony

The wi fi wasn’t very good in the room. Also being charged 3 percent for paying the bill with a credit card.

The staff,the room and the location.

Not much, if you do not looking for problems in small details. Hotel with SriLanka family service, you need to relax and enjoy then everything will be superb.

Good property at front of the beach, super nice stuff, family service. I would recommend that hotel for family and single stay. One of the most biggest advantages is location!

Stayed in February 2025

We loved it. Right on the beach so didn't need a pool. Informal and relaxed which added to its charm. It's not like a generic resort and that's what made it so special. Lots of local restaurants and shops that you can walk to, but it's still quiet and in a beautiful location. My perfect image of a tropical beach.

Stayed in March 2025

Shower with no water, no internet in the rooms

The location right on the wonderful beach and the Beautiful public area
