Excellent hotel. Loved the atmosphere, very calm and relaxing as it is not too big and not too many people. Great food!! Great staff, very kind and friendly. Delhani from the reception team made it possible for me to stay some more hours in my room although I actually had to checkout already very early. Also Anton was very helpful and I learned a lot of local habits from him. Highly recommend this hotel for those who are looking for rest and relaxation and who don’t need the big loud daily entertainment program.

On our 8th visit to the beautiful Island of Sri Lanka we stayed for 7 days and had a wonderful time. We stayed Bed & Breakfast our room was a great size comfortable bed, pillows and linen. Cleaned everyday with fresh towels. On arrival our room 104 had a slight odour relating to the wood and rain wet weather, we spoke to reception and this was quickly remedied and explanation fully understandable (to reterate this did NOT affect our stay. Mini bar available brilliant air-conditioning. Hairdryer not particularly robust and as normal in bathroom so for anyone who likes to do their hair bring your own. No plug adaption needed as 3 pin standard plug fitted. Breakfast buffet style and plentiful selection all types of food. Location average a short walk to a little street with shops and a bar restaurants available. Train station South Kalutara short tukruk ride away approx cost 800 rps. Train journey a must and provides access to all parts of the Island. Train to Galle approx 1500 rps return x2 people. Not very much beach due to erosion however staff life gaurds watched and advised suitable swimming or playing in the sea. Plenty of space sunbeds around the pool and the pool WAS lovely. Entertainment average, calm and relaxing solo guitarist most nights. We both had full body massage in hotel amazing. We ate in both restaurants onsite Japanese and Cobanna food and service outstanding. NOW the most important part if this review is to say THANK YOU to all staff especially Dillani and Husan on reception who could went over and above in their commitment to us as their guests. They vould not have fona anymore than they did to make our stay wonderful. Smiling professional efficient service. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.…

Very nice and quiet place. I can't imagine everyone in the hotel is so kind. The pool is very large. , crishmal, your water aerobics dance is very beautiful.

Hansa, kasun, and all those people at the reception are fondly remembered. thank you
