We greatly enjoyed our stay at this Resort. It was right on the beach, the room was beautiful, and the staff amazingly helpful. There did seem to be an everlasting towel shortage while we were there but the staff were friendly and helpful in ensuring this caused as little inconvenience as possible. I would highly recommend getting a ground level beach facing room!

Liked: Staff & service
The property is situated on the best stretch of Passikuda Bay and that made up for the deficiencies discussed below. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the service was very good (under what appeared to be trying circumstances). The food options were limited and the quality was below par. We frequently dined at restaurants outside the hotel. The breakfast was generally a mad rush and the dining hall was more like a cafeteria. The physical plant needs upkeep.

Excellent beach and nigh light of the trip ! great staff who is more than accommodating to individual needs , great buffet selections meal times balance between western and south Asian cuisines. If I had to give a small advise of improvement it would be hotel should install a coffee machine or keep brewed coffee available, it would have been great but we still managed with self service sachets which was available

We really enjoyed are stay at this resort. It does lack a pool bar and the pool itself is very small, but the sea is right there. The rooms are very good and the service excellent. The food in the restaurant is very good although expensive compared to the rest of Sri Lanka, plus service charge and government tax is added on.

Тишина, скучно, но уютно и чисто

Отель новый, работает с 2015 года. Расположение хорошее только из-за пляжа, окрестности пустынны, сходить погулять, что то посмотреть не выйдет, будите сидеть только в отеле. Так что это место только для влюбленных парочек, кто хочет наслаждаться друг другом. Шопинга, магазинов, ночной жизни нет, вокруге ничего нет. Есть рятом АТМ. Банк только заказать такси или тук тук. Еда в отеле плохая, дорогая. Но, надо отметить, что если отель будет полон то организуют шведский стол, а так еда по скудному меню. Нас в отеле бвло всего 4 человека и больше ни души. Скука смертная. Комнаты и сам отель шикарные. Но делать нечего, скукота. В округе несколько отелей тоже полная тишина. Кушали в Малу Малу, это отель рядом, рекомендую для питания, в остальных порции маленькие, дорого и не вкусно. Плаж тихий, есть водные мотоциклы но дорого где то 1500 руб за минуту.Так что отель хорош, но смертная скукота, тишина и мало еды.

On the way to being calm

Great location,lovely pool,beautiful rooms,service was poor due to lack of staff and the staff that were there seemed to be there all day and all night. The shower was amazing although it flooded daily,buffet food was a bit bland but for the price we paid we were happy with what we got. Also there was no spa! Great gym though!

Gutes Hotel zum Relaxen direkt am Strand

Die neue Hotelanlage verfügt über mehrere Häuser bzw. Bungalows und wirkt dadurch, zusammen mit dem ausgedehntem Pool und Liegebereich bis zum Strand, sehr locker und weitläufig. Die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Am Tag unserer Ankunft waren leider keine Handtücher und Pooltücher für uns - für andere Gäste schon - verfügbar. Auf unsere Beschwerde hin entschuldigte sich das Hotel mit einem kostenlosen Abendessen. Essen im Hotel: sehr gut. Landestypische Gerichte finden sich ebenso wie westliches Essen. Die Preise für Essen und Getränke bewegen sich ebenfalls auf westlichen Niveau, also deutlich über dem Landesdurchschnitt. Das Hotel befindet sich am Ende einer Hotelreihe am Passikudah Beach, der nächste Ort Valaichchenai befindet sich ca. 5 km entfernt, d.h. für Einkäufe ist immer ein Taxi/Tuktuk erforderlich. Restaurants außerhalb des Hotels sind Mangelware.

bien pour un court sejour farniente

Resort tout neuf,encore en periode de rodage. Les chambres sont tres spacieuses et bien equipees. Personnel encore en formation, mais plein de bonne volonte. Le site est beau mais dedie aux resorts de luxe, donc pas d'animation locale sur la plage. Bien pour s'y reposer deux jours apres un circuit sinon on oublie que l'on est au Sri Lanka!

Hôtel ouvert depuis 3 mois avec chambre spacieuse, avec douche et wc séparés. Des finitions sont en cours dans les parties communes. Très belle piscine à débordement avec jacuzzis vous donnant l'impression de plonger dans l'océan. Attention pas de commerces à proximité. Horaire de fermeture du restaurant un peu tôt : 21H30 et dès 21h00 le buffet n'est plus approvisionné.
