Why We Keep Coming Back – Amazing Staff Since 2022
We have stayed at this hotel more than six times, and every visit feels better than the last. What makes this place truly special is the outstanding hospitality from the staff—something you simply cannot find anywhere else. Restaurant Team Special appreciation goes to Mr. Samantha, Mr. Suranga, Mr. Dimuthu, Mr. Suban, Mr. Saman, Mr. Wishwa, and Mr. Irosh. Whenever they are at the restaurant, they make you feel completely at home. We have known them since 2022, and each time we visit, their warm welcome and genuine care make our stay unforgettable. Front Office & Guest Relations Miss Chamindi always greets us with a smile and incredible hospitality. She is one of the reasons we feel so valued and why we always look forward to returning. Pool & Recreation At the pool, Mr. Upul Mr. Nuwan stands out with their friendly service and guidance. His attentiveness ensures every moment by the pool is enjoyable and stress-free. Rooms & Housekeeping The rooms are spacious, very clean, and offer excellent sea views. Hats off to the housekeeping team for maintaining such a high standard.

Stunning hotel with mediocre massages
Absolutely stunning hotel. I went for an Ayurvedic massage in beautiful surroundings. Lovely masseuse but massage was very average and for nearly $60 not really worth the price.
