I don’t like to write long reviews) But I want to be objective so that my review is useful to people. )
We arrived early at 5-30 in the morning and... we were very sorry that we did not take a taxi to the hotel individually, so it took 4 hours to take everyone to the hotels. Look very carefully at the luggage that is taken out when other tourists are transported (I accidentally noticed that my suitcase and other people were taken from the wrong hotel). We were at the hotel around 11-00, we asked to check in earlier, they said an hour later and we went to the territory (you can change clothes and take a shower on the territory there is a locker room with a shower), met a very nice Russian-speaking girl Dasha, a representative of the hotel, she told us everything and explained - thank you! An hour later we were settled in a room on the 1st floor, an excellent room - with an ocean view and a terrace (this is for all rooms, well, we were told so). The staff is very friendly and tries to help with everything.
The rooms are not new) require repair, but most importantly - everything worked (air conditioning, shower, etc. , a large comfortable bed with a snow-white bed, clean towels, tea, coffee, water - every day. Cleaning is normal) 2 times a day. The disadvantages of the room, what and where is cracked and frayed) were not looked closely, tk. admiring the view and the sound of the ocean.
The territory is not large, but very cozy and green, palm squirrels, lizards and once saw a large monitor lizard, and although the hotel is large and there are a lot of people, this is not felt, there are always places and sun loungers (of course, the best ones are taken early in the morning)) Towels without cards) Old, but it will do for the beach).
The pool is large, shallow, always warm) Next to the children.
The ocean is gorgeous and the location of the hotel too - on the right is a sandy beach, with a good entrance where you can swim, and this is very important, because in other places where we walked constantly there was a wave and it was impossible to swim. On the left, you can walk and see the coral reef with fish, and sharks, and all kinds of living creatures, and then there are beaches where you can jump on the waves and quiet lagoons where you can lie, a bunch of cafes where you can have a bite to eat. There is a Sri Lankan on the beach - Siri, we agreed with him for a taxi and for $ 50 we went to Unavantuna and Mirissa, to see the beaches, i. e. the taxi driver was with us all day and whatever you want to see, he will deliver and show. So, if you want to travel around the island, I recommend Siri. Right in front of the hotel - a beach with huge turtles - the hotel's attraction) they are there every day and are very beautiful. The bar on the beach - delicious cocktails and ice cream, friendly staff.
Meals, we took breakfast and bought a few dinners at the hotel. The main restaurant, right in front of the ocean - a gorgeous view) who was stuffy - ate inside (there is air conditioning) there were always places. The staff is very slow, but this is their national trait) so do not be nervous)) Breakfasts and dinners are normal) delicious fruits, fresh juices, many desserts, seafood (shrimps) have always been, No special frills, but everything is there and delicious))) .
There were small nuances, but these are all trifles, since alcohol was not added to the cocktail, she went and explained that it was not necessary to do this) and slow service) and at checkout there was an incomprehensible amount for the mini bar, but they did not find out for 3 euros).
To summarize - if you are looking for a positive and good rest on the ocean - you are here), if you need an ideal new room, frills in everything, then you will be unhappy).
Of course, I will recommend it to my friends, telling about all the nuances (the rooms are a little old, slowness, sun loungers are a little old). But nature is SIMPLY GORGEOUS) I really want to return to this country again and possibly to this hotel. Have a good holiday everyone!!! ! Do not get hung up on trifles), if something goes wrong in the hotel, you will definitely be helped to solve the problem. By the way, there were no mosquitoes. I saw 2 pcs. in the bathroom, probably from the sewer) But they never used the spray and tablets.
Helpful tip: group up and take a taxi from the airport and back, we paid 60 euros.

Corresponds to the description that is on the site. The ocean is beautiful, the service is good. There can be no complaints. Located in Hikkaduwa. This is the only region where the ocean is the quietest and calmest.

The hotel was good. Of course we chose the hotel based on the reviews. We arrived early in the morning and we were not fed, although breakfast was paid for, we had to look for where to eat. Nearby there is getfresh and moonlight where you can have a very tasty meal. We liked our service and room.

In fact, everything in this hotel was very good. Probably the best location there is. In terms of food, it was very good, and the service was generally perfect. Everything was very good, only a solid positive.

The rooms are old, but cleaned every day, air freshener and everything else worked, no complaints. The territory is beautiful, a lot of living creatures. Very tasty cuisine. We were very pleasantly surprised by this hotel, the rest was wonderful.

I liked almost everything: rooms, food, location. But there is very little space on the beach - everyone comes here to look at the turtles and there is simply nowhere to lie down. Near the hotel there are many local cafes where you can dine and a fresh fruit market.

Rested in early December on the advice of friends. The room was on the 4th floor, spacious, with a balcony and ocean views. We took only breakfast, they were excellent. The territory is spacious, well-groomed. WiFi everywhere. On the beach there is an opportunity to swim without waves, and places for snorkeling.

On the beach there is an opportunity to swim without waves, and places for snorkeling. Tourists are entertained by huge turtles sailing from the ocean, tame chipmunks, monitor lizards. Along the route there are solid shops, within walking distance of the market.
I didn't find anything to complain about. I recommend.

A good hotel with a well-established culture of service, excellent cuisine and probably the most important thing - the location. Beach - I don’t want to choose, with and without waves, with corals and turtles. I highly recommend higher rooms - ideally, 4th floor. The view is great. Yes, the hotel itself and the rooms need to be updated, but then the price tag will be different, like for example at Marriott.

Had a magical week at the beginning of May 2018. Starting from the meeting on the steps of the hotel with freshly squeezed juice and to the lunch box on the road goodbye, only pleasant positive emotions during the entire stay. Special thanks to Galina. Wonderful friendly, attentive, sympathetic girl! That does not prevent her from professionally performing her difficult work with a large number of very diverse people.

There are problems with English - ask Galina at the counter! And the rest of the staff is a model for any hotel! The kitchen is a miracle, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the hotel area is comfort. What else do you need to relieve fatigue and enjoy the rest? ! Were very satisfied! Thanks.
