Fresh coffee not provided for free with breakfast - machine coffee was available for ~500 rupees supplement. You can make your own coffee for free (Nescafe style...). We found this very disappointing as cheaper guest houses in Sri Lanka provide fresh coffee for free. Recommend that the owners reconsider this strange policy. Similarly, you have to pay for bottled water in rooms which ought to be provided for free at a place of this price point (given that at cheaper places you can get free water).

Huge, clean, comfortable and stylish bedrooms. Nice bathtub and powerful shower from which you can view out to the sea. The buffet breakfast was great - full range of Western and Sri Lankan food. The pool is great and huge - perfect for swimming lengths or relaxing. Beach is nice to walk along and visit one of the turtle centres but isn't for swimming - this wasn't a big deal given the quality of the pool.

The bi lane to the hotel need to be fixed. Hotel toilets needs to be fixed. When we entered to the room the toilet was smell really bad.

The hotel and the food was good even though there were no big spread of a buffet for breakfast.

Dinner room and food quality needs improvement, and general feel is not of a 5-star hotel. Some of the staff is well experienced, but others are very new to the job. At check-out, the staff made mistakes causing fraud prevention to temporarily block my credit card. Location is not great, as it’s isolated and the beach sub-par to other hotels within 30 min drive.

Good swimming pool, and good rooms

There is practically nothing I would like to complain about except that I wish the approach road had been better.

The location of The Habitat is brilliant albeit the road to get to it is a little narrow. From the looks of it, all rooms in this place are sea facing. We had a brilliant view to wake up to every morning. The staff was super accommodating with our requests. We had plans to leave everyday at 6 30 and they did not bat an eye at that and promptly arranged breakfast that we could take away with us. They gave us great options for restaurants when we asked for their opinion too. The staff was very warm and welcoming and made every effort to make our stay comfortable.

guy at the reception was a little rude when we were checking in. the rooms werent ready and we were made to wait for about 45 minutes inspite of notifying our arrival time. The entire hotel was practically empty so this behaviour was not justified although the staff behavior improved after we complained.

good breakfast, good location, good rooms.

The biggest reason that I chosen that hotel was pool ( as I can’t swim in the sea ) however swimming was only pleasant on early hours before other customers what was wearing normal clothing ( ladies jeans, long dresses ) or even JUST white underwear. Pool side have clear rules about what to wear but just the few of us was following the rules.. children was making pee to the pool and parents was cheer them up! I commented to the staff but none have the courage to talk to them as staff called them “ problematic customers from that and that country/religious “ ... and what about me? I’m customers too..

Spacious room, massive windows and beautiful views.. and non occupied beach
