Probably the best hotel we have ever stayed in. It is not only stunningly beautiful and offers excellent food, the most important is the attention to detail of the whole staff. Just one example of the great service was when my husband told a waiter that he would like more vegetarian choices. 15 minutes later the owner of the hotel, who happened to spend the weekend there, discussed jackfruit with us. Jackfruit is not in season, but he went to the local market himself to try to get it anyway, and then asked his driver - who was on the way to the hotel - to buy jackfruit from Colombo so my husband could have it for lunch. These little acts of attention kept coming throughout our stay and we felt like VIP guests. The sea is too rough to swim in, but the pool was great and the views of the sea (from all rooms) were breathtaking. We had full board and gained probably a couple of kilos during the last four days. Amazing breakfast and 4-course meals for lunch and dinner and we could not say no to anything... They also have a Japanese restaurant and the chef gave us some sushi to taste - absolutely excellent! We will definitely be coming back!

Quintessential upscale small Sri Lankan beach resort & spa in a magnificent peaceful ocean setting (23 suites).

Delicious food by a significantly well trained kitchen team & very courteous wait staff. I look forward to my return visit.

The facilities of this hotel are excellent. The management and staff are courteous, friendly and clearly well trained. The swimming pool area forms a wonderful centerpiece to the resort and is well maintained and serviced by the staff. The resort has been integrated well with its natural surroundings with an abundance of birds and other small animals to be seen throughout the property. The property is ideally situated in close walking distance to the main beach, as well as many local shops, restaurants and bars. Our Deluxe Sea View King Bed Room was well appointed, however this could be expected given the rate charged.
