Perfect location, staff are very friendly and helpful. Shout out to Shanka. The yoga classes are included and the breakfast, was just outstanding value. I stayed in the female en-suite dorm, very comfortable and up scale for a dorm. Will come back and try the private rooms next time.

“Chilled vibes, great food, comfort rooms and short walk to the beach”
Before we even arrived the hotel contacted us to ensure that we were going to make it due to the conflict in Iran, and before charging our credit card. Such great service. Pros: * Ceiling fan (the absolute best) * In room safe * Breakfast last until 3:30pm and the food is fabulous. * Comfortable beds * Free yoga and Pilates * Free surf board use. * Location, a very short walk to the beach. * No plastic water bottles - bring your own refillable bottle

“Chilled spot with amazing breakfast.”
The location to the beach is excellent. Silent beach is about a 20 minute walk and Dewalla Beach about the same. Breakfast was amazing. There were so many choices and its served from 7.30 til 2.30. It was great to have different options for the 3 nights we were there. There was also water dispenser there, so great to have free refills throughout the day. Staff were lovely and friendly. Free yoga was really good.

“Great breakfast on your schedule, friendly staff, and plenty to do”
The breakfast was a real highlight - you get to choose a full meal and a drink of your choice, including specialty coffee, which is a rarity in Sri Lanka. You also pick your own time slot anywhere from 7am to 3pm, which is a real perk when you don't fancy a full meal at 8 in the morning. The staff were fantastic, really helpful and informative. There's a lovely, active vibe to the place with yoga on site and extra activities on offer - you can even pick up a surfboard for free. The room was quiet with working air con, and the outdoor shower was a charming touch.
