‏I had a great experience staying at this resort. The place was very clean and beautifully maintained. The view from my room was absolutely breathtaking – I couldn’t get enough of it! The staff were incredibly friendly, respectful, and professional. Their excellent service really made my stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this resort to anyone, and I’d love to come back again!

"Great stay , recommend for everyone."

9.0

Quiet clean house, very good location, specious & very clean rooms , comfortable beds , equipments such as kettle , coffee machine, fridge & audio device are available which make things easier, big nice pool , great staff brother & his sister was preparing everything for us including very delicious breakfast , we had fantastic family time here , & absolutely will return back if we come again to Sri Lanka.

1. We’ve been in other villa in tangalle before this one & it didn’t have this amount of bugs as this place do , we checked out with dozens of bugs bites in our body , you guys have to do something about bugs which where too much near the pool outside afternoon . 2. Need to put more lights in garden & pool outside, night vibes weren’t really cool everything was dark at night . 3. There was one guy who was responsible about the other service team , when we wanted to check out we paid money then he told us to pay the service team some tips if we wanted to , which were 3 people , he didn’t force us to pay but the way he told us to pay tips to them was unacceptable & he mustn’t tell any customer about that .

"Tropische oase met fantastisch zwembad. Top verblijf voor een paar dagen strand en relaxen aan het zwembad."

9.0

Prachtige kamers, mooie tropische tuin en fantastisch zwembad. Gastvrije host die je met z’n tuktuk naar strandjes in de buurt brengt. Hij kan voor je koken of een BBQ organiseren was erg lekker

Tip om koffie en thee faciliteiten te bieden zodat je dit zelf kan zetten gedurende de dag. Ook fijn wanneer er in de koelkast wat drankjes liggen die je tegen vergoeding kan gebruiken wanneer je nog geen boodschappen hebt kunnen doen.

The location, privacy and the pool facilities. Breakfast on the 2nd day was to our liking.

The service was not as expected on the first day but the staff managed to turn it around once the Owner got in touch with them after I raised the issue.

Just fabulous place in every since - nature in the back-yard. Calm and peaceful area to spend few days in. The area have some good food options in walking distance. The beach is 20 min on foot but it’s one of the good ones to spend the day in. We went out for canoeing with the caretaker of the place (Dilhan). It was super cool that he was so service minded and even went with him to watch turtle at the night when they came in for laying eggs. A good surprise for us / and we loved the design and the thinking of containers in the place. For transport - please contact the owner Kasun. He has a good team in place to get you down to Tangalle and back to Colombo/ Airport.

Nothing.

Design, garden, pool, the whole idea

It rained a bit too much, but it's not the staff's fault :)

"Pleasant"

6.0

It was a clean property. And well maintained

The staff weren’t very friendly and the breakfast wasn’t great at all and very limited amount of food was placed on the table even when there were less ppl accommodating the property.
