If you prefer some extra luxury on this part the country, then this is it. The place is new, very beautiful, calm and quiet. We stayed at one of the bungalows closest to the pool. You have easy access to the beach, make sure to get a glimpse of the Sunrise in the morning. Ask for the local breakfast. Don't worry about the portions, they have a fully equipped gym :) The staff are very friendly. They were about to open a new spa. Also try the newly opened cafe outside.

Everything was just perfect! Quiet place close to a nice beach with a very shallow water. One can walk at low tide to Nilaveli beach (15 min walk). Brenda was a perfect, talkative and helpful host as well as an excellent cook. One can refill bottles with a drinking water at the property. Nice well equipped huts with comfortable bed. 10 and 15 min by tuk tuk to Upuveli and Trinco, respectively. Surprisingly no mosquitoes (the first place without them during our 3 weeks travels in Sri Lanka). If you look for peaceful quite oasis this place is for you. Highly recommended!

Lovely clean spacious room very close to a beautiful, quiet beach. Staff were lovely, helpful and accommodating. Little cabanas on the beach wereperfect for relaxing in the shade with a beautiful view. We only ate breakfast here but the food was great and delivered to our room. The only downside is that the beach has a lot of litter further up. They clean around the hotel, so the view is unspoilt, but a shame the other hotels don’t do the same and take more care of the beach and our planet.

    We had a wonderful one-night stay at this hotel. The white sandy beach is just a short 100m walk away, making it an ideal location. The rooms were very clean and decent, and the WiFi was super fast, perfect for staying connected. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby, adding to the convenience. Overall, a great place to stay at a reasonable price.

    Highlight of the hotel for me was the pool. It was a great size and very clean and well maintained. The hotel overall was spotless and the staff did everything to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The location was great for access to the beach and the best of the beachfront restaurants. Well worth a visit

    Location to the beach was brilliant, about a 30 minute stroll to uppuveli beach, where nice cheap restaurants can be found for both lunch and dinner. The view from the balcony over the sea is wonderful. The rooms were very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful when planning excursions such as whale watching and Pigeon Island. They also organise tuk tuks where you get the most fantastic driver in Kumar, who will chat to you and offer to take you whenever you want to go (even at 5am).
