Self-contained villa with swimming pool and beautiful lagoon view, 50m to beach
6.8 out of 10, 5 reviews
"From the house itself, the area, to the service- it was all rather underwhelming. The house is nice but much smaller than it appears- especially the pool. When we arrived there was no power (not their fault however the host knew already for a day and failed to mention this). The host and her property manager did not offer any help or solutions- we even had to ask for some candles as we were sitting in the pitch black for a while. Then the manager seemed aggressive and annoyed with us, which...

Amara Villa
3.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, 3 reviews
"The property never got our reservation, so showed up and no one was there. This, however, didn't appear to be Amara's fault. Ana was very apologetic and tried to make the most of it. Property is nice though, but it's more suited for a full rent out than just a couple looking for a get away."

Colonial House Hide Away In The Nature Near The Beach Talalla . [ Just 200 m]
7.6 out of 10, Good, 4 reviews
"We traveled as a group of 3, me and my boyfriend and my friend. My boyfriend and I loved the place because it has a very beautiful charm being and old building (we love old buildings), the bathroom was newly renovated and the bedroom looked presentable. The entire place felt historic and charming. Unfortunately, my friend was just not comfortable staying there that night and we ended up staying elsewhere even though we had paid for the night. We travelled as a group and we decided that we...

Paradise Cove- Beach Front Villa with Infinity Pool
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, 7 reviews
"We stayed at paradise cove for a week in February 2019 and got married here. The villa it’s self and garden is beautiful and well maintained. the pool is surprisingly bigger than I expected. We visited the villa in 2018 to see if it fitted in with our needs as a wedding venue and the pool hadn’t been built yet, it is a beautiful place to sit and take in the surrounded views of the garden and beach. There is a large garden area which leads to the beach and there is also a patio area that is under...

Beach House
2.5 star property
8.0 out of 10, Very good, 1 review
"This house is virtually a step away from the sea and it feels like you have your very own small, private beach. A bit far from the town for bars and restaurants but a good small local restaurant two minutes walk away. Breakfast provided, by a woman that comes to the house and uses the kitchen. Great in one sense but if you really like your privacy note that she does hang around each day for about 3 hours doing cleaning etc.. Overall if you like privacy and seclusion right on the beach, this...

"We had a wonderful stay at Seascape! We have stayed in the past and during its infancy. It just gets better each time! You are staying directly on a beautiful swimming and surfing beach. The sound of the waves lulls you to sleep at night. The staff, Senal, Nethmi & Kasun were incredible, attending to our every needs and always with a smile. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful. We were even treated to a Sri Lankan spread one morning. And Senal even cooked a fish we caught for dinner one...
