    Nothing. It was great.

    Exceptional place. The family bungalow was huge - essentially two large connected rooms. Excellent air con. Cleaned daily. Comfy beds. Staff were helpful. Location great - beach access and short walk to the town and alternative eateries.

    Rooms and especially the bathrooms are a bit tired but the hotel is probably oldish. I didn’t mind it as it didn’t affect the comfort. At the pool there are very few sun beds and umbrellas. We had no problem having one but it was low season and hardly any people. I am not sure how that works during high season.

    The hotel is right on the beach and has a beautiful pool. The restaurant is beach side with amazing views of the ocean. I loved having breakfast there. Rooms had double doors, I assume to keep the street noise and the heat away and this worked perfectly. We were in the main building and had a cute balcony with superb views of the garden and ocean. Staff from the restaurant and pool were all friendly and helpful.

    The factor 50 sun lotion in reception was ridiculously expensive at 80 us dollars. We had factor 30 but sun is so strong that you need some 50. Went into the town and got some for fraction of price. We were there over their new year so not so many shops open on the second day of the holiday. That’s because they are all up all night! Didn’t get massage as they closed at 4.30 and wanted an evening one. Found places outside very cheap and were more flexible.

    Very clean. Helpful and friendly staff. Bungalow rooms spacious and air conditioning excellent. Restaurant very good with good food especially good for gluten free. Hoppers were gluten free and I had some bread made for me. Reasonable prices. Was good to not have people selling things from the beach when you were sitting there. Much better than Indonesia from that point of view. Beach very clean.

    The resort is on the main road and unfortunately you can hear the traffic noise in the room and they were renovating at the time we where staying which added to the noise but once you are in the resort grounds it’s lovely and peaceful.

    It has a nice feel as you are right on the beach, the restaurant over looks the beach The pool is a nice size and plenty of beach chairs very relaxing seating lounging area.

    If you need a taxi (car or tuktuk) it is best to just walk outside the hotel and find someone. We asked reception for a taxi to Mirissa beach (10 minute journey) who quoted $35, but we walked outside and asked a tuktuk taxi who was sat just outside the hotel gates and he took us there for $5 - big difference!

    Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and clean and the location was perfect. Located right on the beach front but walk out the back of the hotel and everything is on your doorstep. The food in the restaurant was delicious with gorgeous views of the beach. The staff were very friendly including chef, waiters and pool boys and nothing was too much trouble. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

    While the beach villa is gorgeous, but the bathroom could do with being updated. There was general wear and tear in places including some rusting of metal etc.

    Great location and facilities, good choice at breakfast and helpful staff. I had a massage which was great and the hotel generally felt very clean. We didn’t eat meals other than breakfast here. Our beach villa was lovely with so much space so we could feel at home during our trip. We were in the closest villa to the pool, away from the neighbouring Marriott which felt like a win for us. Housekeeping staff were also brilliant.

    I had an issue with my arrival date and communicating that to the site was very difficult with a lack of cell phone coverage to call and spotty wi-fi. When we did get phone access, they refused to talk over the phone and would only work through chat. I had to argue a little too hard to get my dates adjusted and I was initially told I had to pay the full fee for both days. They finally agreed to a one day penalty and moving my reservation forward but that meant I had to rebook my second night on my own and into a lesser room due to availability. That could have been made more clear to me. To their credit, I was just one day over on my change restriction but given international travel was involved they could have been move flexible.

    The beach was beautiful and the pool area felt very secure and well maintained. The food was really good and reasonably priced. Having my evening meal right at the beach was a highlight of my stay.

    I loved everything about this hotel and tried to rebook for next week as am currently travelling Sri Lanka but it is booked out!

    Loved the calm ambience, was lovely and clean, the staff are all amazing, gentle and friendly. It is a very welcoming place. Our villa was perfect and very comfortable. We enjoyed surf lessons with Dillan and also thought the breakfasts were delicious with good range and choice. Staff even ensured we had breakfast box to take on safari at 4am. Just a lovely atmosphere and relaxing.

    Only slight negatives being reception staff need to work on there hospitality skills, engaging with the customers more and not just processing them like a factory line. Drinking water!! 4 star hotel needs to get rid of plastic drinking bottles and get filtered taps for drinking water. We experienced smaller hotels/guest houses on our travels that had invested the money in such things and not only does it reduce plastic it gives us more that .5l of free water a day.

    Beautiful buildings in a great location with excellent restaurant and the grounds were kept lovely.The Restaurant staff and pool area staff go out of there way to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.
