Scam
Posted 7 Dec 2021 on HotelsArrived to find no booking and no availability.
Despite saying to them to contact Hotels.com to authenticate refund, they didn't and won't respond to Hotels.com request to do so.
Avoid!!

Nice hotel. Staff were very keen to help & support customer needs because they cooked food specially for us. Town was walking distance. Island with a Buddhist temple close by. Like to recommend this hotel to anyone.

good place to stay
Posted 4 Feb 2016
Pros: Big beds big rooms friendly staff we'll run
Cons: Outside area could do with a bit of tiding up
Location: Not far from bus station so ideal to tour from . There's a brand new restaurant next door run by a great family food great ate there
Rooms very clean plenty of hot water though right in front of the sea sea not a good place to swim ideal place to use as to tour from

Great beach and nice people
Posted 25 Jan 2016 on HotelsFamily travel vacation, four adults, moving around Sri Lanka, booking hotels day to day. We stayed three nights at this hotel. Food was good, service very good,very friendly people, the pool was quite small (but clean), cleaning of rooms was not so good, even missing one of the days! The beach was very beautiful and the waves were great

Close to the beach, bus station and town
Posted 25 Jan 2016It's a beachfront hotel, very close to the bus station and to town. It's also very quiet. Only one of the 7 rooms is facing the ocean. The room was clean, had a huge and comfy bed, a/c, TV (reception was not the best), free wifi, modern bathroom with hot water and a furnished patio.
The minibar listed in the description was non-existent. It would have been nice to store our water bottles in there. We also didn't have a ceiling fan in the room although it was listed in the amenities. I would have preferred a fan over a/c as I was sick during my stay (including fever and chills). The *free toiletries* were a small bar of soap. I would have expected shampoo and body wash for the price of over $200 for 3 nights.
The beach is clean and very nice, the pool is not made for swimming. It's about 1 feet deep on one side and 2 feet on the other. Good for children but not for adults.
The hotel staff was friendly. We were welcomed with a fresh coconut drink. When I got sick one of the staff members brought me to the hospital and made sure I was seen by a doctor right away. Definitely a great plus.
All in all the hotel was nice but they shouldn't call it *resort* in the description. It's definitely misleading. Also please don't list amenities which are not available. People might be disappointed and leave bad reviews. I would definitely stay there again but only if I would get it for a cheaper price.

Nawathana
Posted 26 Feb 2019 on HotelsHyvä palvelu, siisti hotelli. Paikka sijaitsi paikallisten asuinalueella, joten ruokapaikkoja työläs löytää.
