Really nice setting overlooking the lagoon. You can swim from just outside, although the water is very shallow. The room was spacious and had a nice terrace area to sit out on. The staff were helpful.

The plug and tap fittings on basin in the bathroom wera bit basic, but the rest of the bathroom was fine.

Nice view from room patio

Food wasn’t that great. The property is in nice peaceful position but maybe a bit too isolated.

The staff were lovely, breakfast was the best I’ve had provided by a hotel in Sri Lanka so far, our room was big and comfortable

The bathroom could use a little TLC as there were big water damage marks on the walls

"Relaxing stay"

9.0

Service was very good and the chalets were clean comfortable and air conditioned which helped with the heat. It was also quite close to amenities if needed in Kalpitiya.

The fans and switches need some maintenance

"Comfortable stay by the lagoon!"

9.0

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience overall. The location is excellent, situated near a beautiful lagoon. I even had the chance to take a refreshing swim there, which was a highlight of my trip. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and nicely maintained, providing a cozy environment to relax after a day of exploring. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, making the stay even more pleasant. The food was delicious, with a variety of options that satisfied my taste buds. Lastly, the hotel offers great value for money, delivering quality service. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in this area.

The road near the hotel gets muddy during the rainy season due to lagoon flooding. It would be great if some measures could be taken to improve the situation.
