Very nice place to be. Beautiful outlook on the waves bashing the rocks in front of the resort. Nice swimming pools with view on the waves. Excellent service even on our personal terrace across the pool, we could order our drinks adding to the relaxed atmosphere.

Hotel is the best! The location in calm place, but near to tourist’s street. Awesome ocean view! Thank to all staff on reception and in the restaurant. Especially I would like to thank Subadhra, who take care of our room, keep it clean and was so kind to us! Also I would like to say thanks to Nishantha, who helped us and answered all our questions! All best wishes! We loved this place!

The hotel offers an overall pleasant experience, though it does feel a bit dated in places, and there’s room for improvement. The lobby is beautiful and the staff gave us a warm, friendly welcome. Our room was spacious with a balcony and a partial ocean view—though the charm was slightly diminished by the solar panels just below. The fridge didn’t cool properly and had an unpleasant smell, and the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool, with temperatures quickly rising back to 28°C+ after being turned off. Breakfast was very good, with a wide selection, and the staff throughout the hotel were consistently kind and helpful. The hotel features two pools, one by the rooms and one by the sea. No possibility to swim in the ocean - resp the small pond when we were there. Also, there were too few umbrellas at the pools, so finding a shaded spot was sometimes a challenge. The bar by the pond looked inviting but wasn’t in operation during our stay, which was a bit of a missed opportunity. A few other small issues: only two low-quality TV channels were available, and some of the outdoor seat cushions near the poolside restaurant were noticeably dirty. With some updates and attention to detail, the hotel could further improve.
