We've stayed here for 1 week, it is right on the beach, but in December 2010 the beach was very dirty, was after rains, so the sea was fresh like a river (which is few hundred meters away). Hotel rooms were clean and at least twice a day was checked by staff. Hotel itself would need a bit of renovation,... More

The hotel itself is ok. Lobby, restaurant, garden areas and rooms are a bit run down but adequate, however the water pressure is bad and the shower rooms are moldy. The worst thing was the incredibly pushy crowd of hotel employees trying to sell overpriced wine, lottery tickets etc, they would bother me everywhere, including the pool area, restaurants and...

A good hotel which is raised to excellence by its fabulous staff and position on the South West Coast of Sri Lanka. The local tour guides Ronnie and Baba have become good friends over the 3 visits I have made to the same hotel. Their knowledge is second to none. More

Stayed in this so called 4 star hotel...The amenities are not 4 star. The only thing available for dinner is buffet dinner and they do not have a Ala-carte menu. We were asked to order something from the coffee shop and we ended up eating a burger and pasta ! Room was fine and everything was spotlessly clean except mosquitoes.... More

Stayed here for one night as part of a Sri Lanka tour organised by Walkers Tours. This hotel is listed as 4 stars and even has the cheek to have 4 stars above the check-in desk. It is by far one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in and I am well travelled. We had two twin rooms on... More

Negative: Badly maintained hotel, furniture is OLD, look and feel of the hotel is OLD, Beds are hard with musty smell in the room. It is obvious the hotel hasn't been maintained since the opening. Don't... More
