    Well, the first night we were there we wanted to order food from the restaurant. We only had the number of the reception. Reception said they cant take order on phone and will send someone to our room. We called reception twice and yet they did not send anyone to take our order. Finally we just made do with what we had with us and went to bed...that was our only negative experience...all the remaining times we called reception asking for water, towels etc, they immediately complied.

    Amazing location+ comfortable rooms with stunning views + gave a wonderful cot for my infant. 24/7 hot water. The attached balcony was super spacious and given the views form there almost all our time was spent there only. The beach adjoining the hotel is just perfect! The force of the waves is reduced by a nearby reef so the waves are nice and safe for even kids to play in. Pool is also wonderful. Staff is friendly and warm. They even have us complementary Christmas cake as we were there on Christmas Eve. Breakfast was decent at the property. As it wasn't included in our package, we paid an additional amount of 3000 rs per person. Uber eats delivers food from numerous nearby restaurants as well.

    Amazing location on the beach

    - bathroom was very smelly and small - repeated breakfast - only one other restaurant close to the hotel (we had a car and that was not a problem for us) - during our stay the hotel, the elevator was not working - they did not have a place for our renovation - the room door was difficult to close

    - location, right on the beach. We were during off season and the beach and pool were empty - private beach - a la carte menu from the restaurant was very good (even though we had to wait 2 hours for our food to come - maybe because it was off season. Their prices were a bit high compared with other places - the view from the room was amazing - very helpful staff

    Spacious rooms, yummy food. And great service. Friendly staff. Great location. This is a hotel that gives a breathtaking view of the Indian Ocean. A must visit if you are in Srilanka. Ideal for family couples or anyone travelling solo like me, just can't get over the spacious rooms. It's luxury and you feel so comfortable in the rooms

    Nothing much to be honest. All were good.

    Food was good and well presented. However, noticed that the leftover food from the dinner is reused for breakfast. Traditional Sinhalese food are all were fab. However, traditional Tamil food such as dosa, sambar and chutney are nowhere close to what it should be. They should take this items out of the menu unless they find a chef to make them properly. Loved the omlette bar and kottu bar. They had a wide variety of food to choose from.

    Guests need to alert staff of anything they may have overlooked. Management and staff are very happy to chat about anything at all.

    Coming from the travel industry, we understand the property and management are doing their best to get it up and running to normal speed after a 2 to 3 year shutdown. This is expected all over. They are doing the utmost to welcome all.
