Paul Spain

Great location, great staff! Mr Sisira and Mr Premachandra were amazing and made sure we had the best experience given that all resorts were just starting up post-covid and it wasn’t easy to maintain the great service straightaway. On the day it was just our family at the resort but we were given amazing food (and service) as we wished despite only making food for my family. Highly recommended. The location is amazing and closest to the beautiful pigeon island where they can also set you up for a boat ride to the islands for diving / snorkelling.

I loved Everything!! Due to coronavirus, the hotel was a little empty but it didn't stop the staff from going out of their way to fullfil any of my requirements. They were extremely polite and helpful. Food was outstanding and the beach side was heavenly. I will surely go again!

Ravindra Sri Lanka

Room is nice and spacious. They offered all amenities you would expect. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. We only had lunch and dinner there, went sightseeing early in the morning. The portion is nearly enough for 2. All the food items we ordered are really tasty and had the spiciness a local Sri Lankan would expect which is awesome. Suggest to check their seafood platter (Rs. 3500/=) with garlic butter sauce and a hint of lime, you will be amazed. The restaurant manager suggest and offered the chance to order food we like off the menu as well.
