Everything. It soothed my soul. I will be back.

I guess the food could step up its game - not the quality of the ingredients, but when something is not available - just say so, and not provide something instead of, ie, the Thai green papaya salad came up as a strange thing with ripe papaya, black olives and a Japanese dressing. Other than that, I had a very nice special bbq by the ocean, with lobster, lagoon prawns, black pork and fish - and the staff really want to make you feel special and welcome.

Stayed here over new year for 4 days for our honeymoon and LOVED it. Amazing room and pool. Highly recommend Tracks bar/ club nearby (10 min dtaxi) for great cocktails and dancing and the fort printers restaurant in galle fort. A great place for a few days - highly recommend!

The welcome drink- Thambili (king coconut) The location, just by the beach Architecture Staff Excellent food Pool

Nothing

Beautiful grounds and rooms and lovely facilities, with stunning sunsets overlooking the sea and watching turtles play in the bay. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful and attentive.

Everything

An oasis inside the walls with a great pool and beautiful ciews over the sea

Surprised and disappointed that there wasn’t really suitable beach swimming here as the pics seem to imply there is. The sea is rough and rocky and drops away quickly and when the tide is in, there is no sand. This would be the only negative in an otherwise stunning setting. The pool was great compensation.

the location was great. easy to find, right on the beach which was lovely. the outdoor area is really nice with enough space for all guests to share the pool.

sadly there was a massive language barrier at this hotel with no staff speaking English, we found it hard to communicate simple things like that we wanted to order breakfast etc. the hotel has a live in dog which might sound nice but the dog has no training whatsoever and kept biting guests, it actually ripped my dress and bit and scratched my partner! we were not happy that when the dog was doing this the staff hit the dog instead of training it! there are lots of stone pots of water sitting around which although they look pretty cause lots of mosquitos to stay around the hotel, I had so many mosquito bites here and although I cannot say this is the fault of the hotel I would say that having stagnant water around doesn’t help. the room was only cleaned twice on our 5 night stay despite us leaving the clean room sign out. don’t be fooled by the “high speed wifi” in the listing as the room wifi is really slow and we couldn’t connect to it until day 3 of 5. the outdoor lights for our outdoor bathroom didn’t work and we reported this and nothing was fixed. it’s quite difficult to use the bathroom at night with no lights.

beautiful pool

no atmosphere, staff were all friendly but didn’t understand English very well so any requests were misunderstood. breakfast food was very slow and confused. random objects in bedroom padlock to door
