We had a great stay at this hotel. Beautiful beach and great pool area. The rooms are nice, the staff helpful and very friendly. Location is good - calm and quiet but just a short tuk-tuk ride from lots of shops and restaurants in Hikkaduwa. Would def stay here again.

Such a lovely and calm place - we absolutely loved our stay. The rooms are really nice and the sea facing one we had was gorgeous. It is right next to the beach and although you can’t swim in the ocean due to the current as with many places in Sri Lanka, the pool facing the ocean along with the sun beds and restaurant tables facing the ocean help balance it. No complaints and highly recommend the place! The pool is great (maybe the chlorine proportion can be adjusted a bit for the future), breakfast is good and rooms are fantastic - all of which is compounded by wonderful service. Thank you for a great stay!

Top beach hotel

A great beach hotel with a beautiful view towards the sea and an excellent service. I hurt my foot when I was surfing and the staff was so helpful. I could not step on the right foot so I could not walk properly. They arranged breakfast at the balcony, that I did not had to go down. All in all a wonderful any lovely hotel!

Okay+ but overpriced

Arrived with high expectations based on reviews and the photos - checked out 2 days early because our expectations were not met. The hotel could really use some renovating and some of the staff could be more service minded. The room was not cleaned very well, nor the outdoor area when we arrived. Food is good and the location is good. The price is overrated, but it's okay staying here if you are not expecting a high luxury stay.
