I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, just a short distance from the beach and local attractions. The service was outstanding, with friendly staff readily available to help. However, the rooms were quite basic, and while they were clean, they could use some improvements for comfort. Overall, it's a great value for the price, especially with the delicious breakfast offering.

I had a somewhat mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were spacious and had good amenities like air conditioning and a nice bathroom, there were issues with cleanliness, as I found insects in my room. The location is superb with stunning views right by the beach, which I loved. However, the dining options could use some improvement to enhance the overall experience.

The location was decent, close to the beach, but it felt a bit isolated from other attractions.

I had a great stay at the hotel overall. The friendly staff and clean, comfortable rooms made my experience enjoyable. However, the hotel is a bit far from the main attractions, which might be inconvenient for some. The breakfast was one of the best I’ve had in Sri Lanka, but I did expect a bit more in terms of variety for dining options. Overall, it’s definitely value for money, but be prepared to take a tuk-tuk for dinner.
