Lovely helpful staff
Right in the beach with clear sea views
Rooms spacious clean and comfortable
Food very good
this is very good hotel and good service
all are sea-view rooms; decoration is old; nice staff; if you just seek for short stay, it is the choice for money
nice hotel close to beach and restaurants
Great hotel of this class. Hotel was very clean as well as the room.
Trip was on a busy spring break weekend so the hotel was very busy, but really no problems from this place
Nice big hotel on main beach. Big n clean rooms. Good swimming pool. Very friendly staff. City center, every thing near by. Highly recommend. Value for money.
Our stay at the hotel was good. Location is great. Staff were extremely courteous and helpful. The only negative was the bathrooms which need refurbishment. Overall a great stay

Wow!”
Arrived exhausted from Tissamaharama and was greeted with a ribbon wrapped iced face towel and a Amberalla iced drink! There after the whole check in was patiently acceded by the FOM Mr. Sanjaya rather generously while offering options and due considerations. So much so that I extended my stay by a day! The twin pools are pristine. The Sea bathing area is rather safe despite the off season waves right in front of the property.

Great if looking for a lazy beach n pool holiday. Not bad at $50 - $70 usd, could be higher in peak season. Two decent pools and right on main beach. Buffet meals quite good too about $10-$12 pp.

Nice place, a little improvement required ”
The room and the facilities were very good, the room smelled a little musty but that's probably because of the salty sea air getting into the woodwork. The staff were on hand to clean up during clean up hours and they did a good job. The views are amazing. The additional services like meals and transport were a little on the expensive side, but there are options for meals outside the hotel, the whole town is filled with quaint little restaurants serving all sorts of food and there are tuk-tuks that will take you anywhere. All in all a good experience.

NO WIFI IN THE ROOMS! LOVED THE POOL AREA THOUGH!”
We booked this hotel for 14 people. Only when we got there we got to know that there's no wifi in the rooms so if you want to use it you have to come to the lobby. they didn't include that in the description. The pool was clean and great and we got the deluxe rooms which were good and the view was great and the beds were super comfy. The beach was okay too. The dinner buffet wasn't that great but loved the morning buffet there. variety of choices including live cooking sausages/bacon and waffles. Yum!

It became a reasonable stay at the end”
Checked in to the hotel on the 6th of October around 5pm. Booked a standard room and I had to upgrade to a delux rooms as those rooms did not have a nice view. Delux rooms will have a view to the sea. Dinner was an al la carte and the menue was very poor and the food was not tasty. But the breakfast was a buffet and it was very good with wide selection. Second night dinner was a buffet and it was average. Third night it was al la carte and it was the same menue. I called the chef and explained my dissatisfaction. He made some local rice and curry for us.
House keeping was very good and the kept the rooms very clean. Staff was very friendly.

pool, bar, location
This hotel is in serious need of work. Its a great resort but everything feels old & run down. the rooms are small & don't look very nice & definitely do not look like the photos - maybe if the photos were taken 20 years ago. The staff is lovely, the bar has a lovely band that plays in the evening. We had a nice time but wish they would fix the place up.

Location, service, food
Great value for the money. It's a clean hotel
There's no internet in half of the rooms (wifi signal wasn't strong), and if you are connected, just like anywhere else in Sri Lanka (save for some really expensive hotels), internet was slow.
But really, you come here to surf, enjoy the beach, etc..
Great bar.
