Amazing staff, welcomed by mr Mubarak and treated well by all thereafter! Great location and good on site food and drinks at fair prices. Early arrival was accommodated, which is much appreciated after a night flight and 5h drive.

We ate the traditional SL breakfast of rice hoppers, dahl and curry as well as the western breakfast (omelet & fruit) both were excellent. The staff were exceptionally kind, respectful and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Covered sun beds, that were cushioned, provided much needed relief from the sun while letting us enjoy the ocean sites and breeze. The pool, though it could have used a few repairs to some of the tile, was refreshing and great. Loved our time here. The hotel is actually at Nilaveli Beach.

“Stunning location with a picture perfect beach , comfy rooms and a warm welcome”
What a fab place . Really calm and quiet with direct access to the beach , loungers and pool on the beach pretty much . Comfy beds , basic but very quiet and great a/c. Plenty of hot water . Breakfast really tasty . Restaurant and bar on beach serving freshly bbq fish / chicken . In comparison to Uppaveli this place is a total gem for quieter tourists. Often we had the beach almost to ourselves . The sea is super clean and clear and warm . The staff were really helpful and friendly.

“Perfect spot on Nilaveli beach”
The staff was nice and always helpful. The position is amazing, directly on the beach with a beautiful swimming pool that looks at the ocean. The rooms are a bit old, but with Aircon: you can sleep hearing the sea! The restaurant is a bit more expensive than other around, but it serves good food with a spectacular view.
