“The room was nice and spacious Location was good (if the preference is for something secluded). Access to a nice long stretch of beach. Breakfast buffet was good (although this is not available daily unfortunately) Very quiet and clean Staff are friendly and helpful Bar provides good cocktails (ask for the cherry bomb!) Directly across the pigeon island which is brilliant for snorkeling.”

“I traveled with my wife and two kids (4 years and 2.5 years). Since i stayed two nights they offered me a sea view suite instead of deluxe double room i booked. The reception and restaurant staff is very friendly. Apart from the buffet they have a good room service too and food is delicious. I should mention specially about the swimming pool attendant who was much caring and vigilante about the kids providing a secure environment. Thanks and hope to visit again”

Organized a dinner table & took exceptional attention to detail re: dinner & drinks for my invited guests - local residents - from Nilaveli. Much appreciated & most impressed.”

Room service menu was bit pricey! We ordered a sea food platter which was priced 3500/-. Tasted great but content wasn't reasonable for the price.
The room and amenities was good. Staff were friendly and attentive. Beautiful beach. Breakfast was ok.

Somebody stole 5000 LKR from our purse, which was at the desk in our room. It wasn’t much, but it’s awkward. So put your valuables to safe every time you leave your room.
Comfortable bed, clean room, nice pool, close to the beach, great food.

“Calm stay at the east coast”

-supervisors of the resort were unfriendly and slow -we asked whether it is possible to have à-la-carte dinner but we were told that only buffet is available. Some days later we saw that others were ordering à-la-carte which is much cheaper -dinner buffet had a lot of options but most sri lankan and international dishes were not good thus very expensive for the value. Out of our 6 nights we had only 3 times dinner here. On the last time there was also live cooking event which was the best part of the buffet -water preparation and cleaning system is close to the beach. It has a very bad smell, so it depends from which direction the wind is blowing -additional nights shall be booked online because the rates directly at the reception are almost double -although the hotel was not fully occupied rooms at booking.com were sold out, so we were not willing to pay double price as this is not worth the money -do not try the pizza at the hotel, you will be very disappointed -lunch dishes were rather small for the price -tuktuks ordered by the hotel are very expensive (double price), to try to get a phone number from a tuktuk driver to call him when needed -snorkling trip at pigeon island was a third more expensive than the trip which can be booked 300meters south from the resort (follow the beach) -private transfer to another city will be as well extra charged -on the first night when we arrived, we had late lunch and went to bed as we were tired. At 9pm we recieved a wake up call from the restaurant, why we are not joining the dinner. Which is not acceptable. We complained to the personal that we are here to relax and not to be pushed to go to eat. We are adult enough to know whether we are hungry or when the opening times are of the restaurant. The same happend twice for the breakfast time and one more time for dinner.
+wonderful ocean view room +most of the waiters are young and need to learn and improve their skilly but were always trying to satisfy your needs +room was very clean and the bed is comfortable +it offers massage close to the beach +breakfast was rich but everyday the same +during lunch time the tuna steak dish was tasty +fresh made juices are good

Great place with great staff going out of their way to make sure the guests were well catered for. Restaurant provided top food with a smile and as for the hotel manager he knows how to look after guests as well as his staff. If and when we return to Nilaveli we will without doubt stay here again. Highly recommended.
