The owner is lovely and very helpful. The rooms are decent and the shared bathrooms are fine too. The location is great for getting to the beach. We had an excellent stay and have fond memories of the owner, who invited us to share some good times with him.

I loved everything at Salt Bay, the bungalows with their open air bathroom and the front terrasse, spent a lot of time there reading with a view on the coconut trees, the Grand kitchen and communal room, we had the best food cooked with love by our Chef. Wishing him all the best in the future

“Great”
Nice location in the nature and very quiet. Walking distance from the beach, the kite spot, the shop and other restaurants. Bungalows are cute with a huge coconut trees garden. The owner is lovely, he cooked local dishes for me because eating local foods is an important side when travelling IMO. He also arranged my private car to airport the last day. Thank you thusitha :)

“Warm hearted stay”
Very affordable stay with Thusitha and his friends. He's a very kind man with a big heart, especially for the street dogs, as he's adopted 7 of them! They're all cute and very calm. He offered me free lunch twice and his breakfast options are very big. Which is especially great when hungry in the morning! I stayed in the budget room which doesn't have the frontbed like the pictures but he allowed me to use it, which was perfect! There's also an option to have All in BBQ for 12 euros. Greetings from Belgium, hope to see you again!

The owners are so kind very friendly. The Cabin is very cute and unique even without an air conditioner its still pleasant so we sleeped very well. He even gave us also a bottle of water for free for our trip which is about 4 hours ride to Kandy and we are very thankful for that.

The cottages are very nice with their own outside bathroom. The setting next to the water is beautiful and Thusitha is a wonderful person doing his best to make your stay comfortable and to make you feel at home. The breakfast was reaaalllyy good. The location is a short walk to the beach (<5min) and restaurants. There is also the possibiltity to eat there.
