Restaurant staff also very good ,Food was very tasty ,more variety.Very good hotel for mental relaxation.We are expecting to come again in near future.

Karunasena, Sri Lanka

We had an outer bungalow upper level with a splendid beach view and a private balcony. The bed was firm and nice. The bathroom was uniquely large and the shower was open at the top so you feel part of nature...of course it was raining so we get two showers in one! We made friends with our cleaning staff. Enjoyed the spacious pool even while it was raining, because we're wet anyway. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet each morning. We enjoyed one evening dinner buffet and another evening at Crab. And huge raves on the Wi-Fi! Each morning we would be greeted by a visit from a pair of Ring Necked Parakeets pearched on a palm tree trunk outside our balcony. The little joys arrive wwhen you have time to sit still.

Hotel area beach was very clean . Beyond that area there was more plastic wastages ,if all the hotels in this area are interest about this matter ,they can keep the all the beach area very clean.Hotels managements can take necessary decision in this matter ,Then more tourist will attract for all the beaches in this area.

Management needs to take a more active role and presence. Staff would benefit from some cultural awareness. Many did not appear comfortable dealing with foreigners.
The food at both outlets was tasty and well presented. I managed to take it a cooking class under the expert guidance of the sous chef. Highly recommended.

No activities at all in the off season. Meant that despite it being a nice hotel we were bored quickly ( too much of a rip tide to even swim in the sea ). Feel sure that something could be knocked up, a visit to sigiriya down the road or the history of what was quite an important port once or the impressive ancient irrigation system nearby etc.
Food, location, staff and facilities were top notch.

Things staff had little control over like danger flags were up meaning the surf was too dangerous for swimming. Scratch that activity. Our second day it poured like a penitent gangster. Being beach oriented, there were scant few places to hang wet items, nor were the hangers distributed adequately...the wardrobe crowded with ironing board and robe leaving not enough room to hang clothes; eight hangers. The other wardrobe had ample space: two hangers. Little things. Kinda wish hotel designers would stay a few nights and see the error of their ways. We were a bit disturbed by some of the wait staff at Crab were sneezing into their hands and showed no signs of understanding a sneeze is followed by hand washing.

Rather a lot of tax added to any items purchased in the hotel.
It was a fantastic place to stay. Very friendly, helpful staff (e.g. Ravi, Sachith). The location was fantatstic, right on the beach. I recommend watching the fisherman bringing in their nets, and having a drink at Fernando's bar just along the beach from the hotel. The swimming pool was brilliant. The price was very fair for a little bit of paradise (cheaper on weekdays than weekends!)

Nothing major was wrong - just minor niggles. We got to know the maintenance man too well! First he confirmed that our a/c was not working. The only solution was to change rooms, which was done with a minimum of fuss but some personal inconvenience (repacking was not on our activities list). We had to call him in again to the new room the next day as the safe would not work - it was broken and had to be replaced with a new safe. In the original room the pull knob for switching the water from shower spout to shower head was disconnected, but I fiddled for a couple of minutes and managed to screw the mechanism back together myself. This is too many maintenance issues, it seems that more care should be taken of the fabric of the property. The bar never had any guests sitting around - other than perhaps for one pre-dinner drink. I am not sure why. Certainly the whole bar layout is not attractive and the seating is mediocre - the bar is too large and the seating too limited. It seemed that people preferred to sit in their rooms rather than the bar so there was a lack of atmosphere or spirit of holiday enjoyment.
It was the absence of things being wrong rather than anything being outstanding. We wanted a relaxing four days; by and large this was a success. It was all OK to good, but did not sparkle. The food was fine, not great. The swimming pool was really great. The design and maintenance was OK but not great. The stray cat and dog which patrolled the dining room were not required, but not a nuisance. The staff were all OK to good (polite and attentive, often with limited understanding of English even when spoken fairly slowly and clearly), but not outstanding - there were no real characters. Watching the local fisherman on the beach was absolutely fascinating as they set their vast net and gradually pulled it ashore to bring in their catch each afternoon.
