    serene beachfront
    delicious food
    cute staff
    unreliable wi-fi

    The beachfront was so serene, and the food was delicious, especially the sri lankan dishes. It was great with comfortable sleeping arrangements and cute staff .

    the wi-fi in the room was unreliable.

    pool area
    breakfast options
    beach maintenance

    The 20m fresh water pool adds a nice touch, and the daily breakfast is a healthy, enjoyable way to start the day. Open-air rooms offer fine views and unique experiences, like outdoor showers during a monsoon.

    The beach area is poorly maintained with a lack of sun beds and visible garbage, which detracts from the natural beauty. Swimming is limited due to strong waves and is not recommended for families. While the accommodation is simple, the 100 USD per night rate feels overpriced for what is offered in terms of basic amenities.

    The quietness and open- air rooms

    Location is perfect for people who are looking for huge solitary beach and amazing ocean, for practicing yoga. Funny chipmunks and birds.

    Rooms are too simple, no privacy. Half of the time (4 days) there were too loud constraction works and it was really awfully. Making tea with teabags.Staff in restaurant looks tired. Bad Internet.

    family-friendly environment
    refreshing pool
    limited family activities

    The grounds were fine, inviting us to unwind and enjoy yoga classes that felt deeply rejuvenating. Our room, perfect for families, allowed us to keep an eye on the kids as they played in the safe environment. Plus, a refreshing pool to dip in was a major win!

    For dads, it would be great to have more family activities available.

    Very peaceful. A deserted beach. Value for money.

    Some noise from building/maintenance work on some of the villas within the resort.

    yoga experience

    mosquito presence

    serene retreat with minor improvements needed

    The yoga experience by the ocean was lovely! Practicing while listening to the waves created a calming atmosphere. I also loved the outdoor shower with a perfect end to my day at the beach. The staff displayed a genuine friendliness.

    Be aware of the mosquitoes. I recommend spraying your room before leaving.

    The location and beach were excellent.

    Didn't get a proper cold drink until the final night. Never had any ice. Waiters seemed often to be doing nothing while we were left waiting. This didn't look intentional, but they just appeared not to be paying attention. The upstairs rooms are not very private.
