“Just what we needed, and good value for money.”
Daniel, the owner was great, very helpful and arranged food for us on our late evening arrival, took us to ATM, his recommendation for a close by restaurant was spot on, as was the bird watching boat ride. Helped us book our taxi to Kandy. The pool was great, clean and big. The room was large with the best shower on our trip so far. Comfy bed and a lovely sea view.

“Great staff, great facilities”
They were extremely friendly and welcoming with great facilities for the price. The staff also stepped in to help with an altercation with a Tuktuk driver, spoke extremely good english and settled the situation appropriately for us. We could not be more thankful

“Call the hotel after you book to ensure that your reservation is active. Risky place to book”
We were not allowed to stay as they had given the reservation to some walk in customer after I booked this hotel. Be careful when you book this hotel.

“Lugn, avslappnande och skön vistelse”
Good breakfast, good lunch and dinner. But tell the staff in advance if you as a Northern European want the food Sri Lankan spiced (hot) otherwise there is a risk that you will get it "tourist spiced" Proximity to the beach through a gate, which is open during daylight hours. Lovely beach, sparsely populated. But a stone reef makes it a bit difficult to be in the water. But there is a pool if you want to swim. They close the entrance, so unauthorized people cannot come at night. Opening if you arrive late, you solve with a phone call. In addition to a regular pool, there is a children's pool. Foot shower when you come from the beach. Foot and regular shower near the pool.

Quiet and nice, only the sea could be heard. You get what you pay for. Do not let small children shower by themselves; the hot water can become very hot if you turn the taps wrong. The clean beach is accessible through a gate, which is open during daylight hours.
