Guest Review: Amazing hotel. Great vibe around the pool and the beach is stunning. Staff were lovely. Food is excellent.
Guest Review: A nice place to stay in Dikwella that is conveniently located just a minutes walk to Dikwella beach, a 20 min walk to hirikitiya beach, and just 7 minutes (2 mins scooter) to turtle beach (where you are pretty much guaranteed to see turtles). The bed was comfortable, I slept well, and the surrounding was local and natury. I would say one of the main things that stood out was the friendly hosts Nimal and his wife who went out of their way to ensure it was a comfortable stay for me. They provided helpful tips on what to see and do, also arranged a scooter (which was MUCH easier than having to deal with a rental company), and Nimal saved the day getting me to my bus to Ella (whilst risking life and limb in traffic to get me on it!). If that doesn't convince you to book a few nights, their delicious traditional Sri Lankan breakfast will!
Guest Review: Amazing stay in this beach view apartment! Surf board rental, breakfast and pool-usage was included in the main hotel just 3 min away - we simply loved everything!
Guest Review: We chose this place strictly for the plunge pool and sea views, and were amazed by it all! Our mornings were spent soaking in the sunrise with coffee as the peacocks and langurs added themselves to the mix. The property is located close to beaches, restaurants and the famous smoke and britters, which is down the road from the same. David and Chamara, along with the rest of the team were available almost 24*7. All of our tiny queries/needs (activity, food and transportational options) were catered to with highest standard of professionalism and efficiency. Special mention to Lucy who gets spoiled with belly rubs all day, loving addition to the entire experience.
Guest Review: The best place so far we stayed in Sri Lanka.! Already here for 6 days and every day we change location. The man that welcomed us very friendly and good English speaking! Although the check in was till 8:00 pm we where late on the road and he had no problem to to the check in 1.5 hour later. The room super nice and clean. In front of the room are the train rails and you can see the train pass buy from your balcony, that is really cool !! Highly recommend!!!
