I had an amazing time at this hotel! The rooms were top-notch, right on a beautiful sandy beach with the perfect surf wave just steps away. My room had a view of a high concrete wall, but the incredible plunge pool and spacious layout made up for it. The bed was so comfortable, I slept like a dream.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms were to a very high standard, located on a long sandy beach with a perfect surf wave on your doorstep. The room with a view on a high concrete wall wasn't ideal, but the plunge pool and spaciousness for the family were fantastic. The bed was amazingly comfortable.

Service

The staff here were absolutely outstanding. They were all very smiley, welcoming, and went above-and-beyond to ensure my stay was an experience of a lifetime. However, it seemed like some of them needed better training for more efficiency.

The location was spotless and extremely well maintained, with easy access to Galle for some half-day trips. The swimming area marked by a floating rope was a nice touch. The hotel is on a stunning beach, although it lacked a bit in privacy.

The dining experience was fine without being great. The luxury boutique feel was nice, and the varied breakfast was a plus, although it could have been slightly better. I enjoyed the locally caught fish.

The hotel has a great location on the south west coast with easy access to Galle, offering a true hotel environment. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though a bit hidden at the hallway's end. The service was very friendly and accommodating, with some minor distractions. The dining experience, while offering delicious options like fresh calamari and prawns, lacked variety. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few areas for improvement.

Upon my arrival, I noticed a minor issue with the rooms not being properly checked by the staff beforehand. However, the setting in the lawns with sun beds and a small seating area made up for it. The service I experienced was simply outstanding, with all staff going above and beyond to ensure my stay was unforgettable.
