This tranquil villa with unforgettable views of the infinity pool framed by the Indian Ocean in the background, is a must-see. Food was really good and the service attentive and effortless. Drove from Colombo airport on the new expressway in under two hours, granted my plane landed at 4 am. Don't even think of staying anywhere else in this area.... More

Booked 2 rooms for wife and in laws. Loved the pool, the envoirnment and also the attitude of the staff. Attentive without being intrusive. Great food also, regretted going to Light house hotel for dinner, since it was terrible comparing to what was served at the villa. Happy to recommend this to all

We stayed here for just 2 nights but it was long enough to get a feeling for the place, we got an upgrade which was a lovely touch as we where in Sri Lanka to get married but at another villa, see separate review. The room was very nice inside but is feeling a little tiered now but it's the... More

This was our first trip to this beautiful teardrop island and our mission: to unwind and relax. The journey from the Colombo airport took us about 2.5 hours. Upon our arrival, we were met personally by the manager and treated to a refreshing drink. The Villa: We found this beachfront resort to be a divine haven with an amazing team... More

We have just spent two nights here as part of our honeymoon trip and we couldn't wish for a better setting. The beach is beautiful and the grounds are very relaxing. Although the sea isn't great for swimming here there is a wonderful infinity pool which more than makes up for it. The food was so good we decided to... More

I was tempted to write a bad review to increase the chances of us being able to get a booking here at some point in the future, but this would have been doing Chaturi and team a tremendous disservice. Everything about our stay was great. The room, pool, grounds, garden, location, beachfront, and food were all exceptional. The service was... More

We stayed 2 nights at Apa Villa and it was simply stunning. The villa is very nice with large suites and great bathrooms. The swimming pool was great and the service was top notch. The prices were good but we went mid-April. Highly recommended.

We booked the cinnamon suite, which based off the description and phone conversation with chaturi stated it had a king AND queen bed. We travelled with another couple, and were told 4 of us could comfortably fit in the room. When we arrived, the room had one queen bed and one single mattress which was touted as the "queen bed"....

We stayed 4 days and also got to experience APA Villa Illuketia, which seemed even nicer! Apart from getting a room without pool view and with some road noise at night, we were very pleased with our stay. Thoughtful staff and quality throughout.

Well from the time we booked at this Hotel, I had a good feeling as the manager Chathuri was great to communicate with, and followed through with everything that we required for our trip. From our pick-up from Colombo to our return to Colombo. When we arrived she greeted us, showed the property and took us to our room, we... More
