Wow!Very beautifull well maintained kolonial style hotel with a super swimmingpool. Large rooms, soft beds. One could not ask for more friendly staff.
In the neighbourhoud there are many, many Russians holidaying. They are loud and at times not very friendly towards others.

Quiet and excellent facilities. Close walk to the beach. Excellent place to chill out.

The hotel is slightly set back and feels a bit like a jungle retreat. The room was large and clean, with AC and tea/ coffee facilities - I loved sitting on my balcony with a cuppa and watching the wildlife! The team under Anil went out of their way to make my stay relaxing and enjoyable: chef Lionel came to ask exactly how I liked my Sri Lankan breakfast and cooked it to perfection, with Chanu always delivering it with a smile. The yoga sessions were a great start to the morning, followed by some massages/ spa treatments wih Amindu (the herb powder scrub and steam bath is especially recommended). Added bonus is the sister hotel located on the beach (some 7 minutes walk away), where you can use loungers and changing rooms. Recommended!
Not suitable for guests with mobility issues.

Location was great very central.
Staff were lovely and tried to rectify the issues we had with our room.
Good hot water and pressure in shower.
Rooms appear worn and ours had a foist smell .
We were moved which was great
But A/C not functioning well due to the extreme heat they have been facing in recent months.
Ants were an issue.
And there are a lot of stairs to the rooms with no lift.
Pool is pretty much in the reception area which isn’t ideal.
