An old hotel with terrible cuisine!!! Great location and view characteristics, but the food!!! Never take a full meal there. The breakfasts are also very mediocre. The main beach, where the hotel's sun beds are nearby, is dirty, everything that is possible floats in the ocean. It is better to go from the other side of the hotel to another part of the beach, towards Batigama beach, where you can swim with turtles. There are also many different cafes there. The hotel needs renovation. The pools are not very clean. In general, 3-.

An old but cozy and green hotel, with gorgeous beaches.The room stock is certainly retro, but there is also a certain national charm in it.I was pleased with the restaurant with a gorgeous view, the terrace above the ocean, makes breakfast a holiday.The cuisine is oriented towards Europeans, there is a small table of spicy, local cuisine.The hotel is suitable for relaxation, there are few children, there are few sports activities from entertainment.In general, we were satisfied.

We are very glad that we chose this particular hotel for our vacation. Authentic rooms, Cleaning every day. Very well maintained, beautiful territory.The ocean is on 3 sides. Especially the right part of it looks like a Bounty. Clean beaches.. The food is very tasty and varied. The staff was very helpful, they made various requests, always responded and helped. We were incredibly satisfied. A great family hotel.

It's a great place. Beautiful territory, wonderful responsive and good-natured people, very tasty varied food, lots of greenery, many exotic animals, a beautiful beach and a lagoon with turtles ...... A local resident from cafe Dumi helped to diversify the rest (the first one on the left on the beach) Pierre. He treated us to coconuts from his plot. On the way, when we left, I brought pineapple, bananas and fragrant sticks as a gift. He drove us very inexpensively on excursions, with individual comfortable transport. I recommend his services to everyone (to eat, fishing, see whales, change money, go to Gala, take the train to Ella...): +94 77 572 4606 Pierre. It's easy to find out-a small smiling man, about fifty years old.

A great place not for 5* lovers in Turkey. The hotel is washed by the ocean from 2 sides, the entrance to the ocean is convenient, the beaches are gorgeous, turtles swim on one of them, there are a lot of animals on the territory of the hotel, geckos live in the rooms, chipmunks, iguanas, monkeys run around the territory. The children were absolutely delighted! Very good-natured staff, all issues were resolved instantly. It should be borne in mind that the standard room is too small for a family with 2 children, there is 1 large bed and 1 small one in the room, the second one was hardly put up because it was not the season and many rooms were not occupied, and there is practically no animation for children. The food at the hotel is wonderful! Everything was very tasty, although the choice of dishes was small. Overall, it was our best vacation with children! Everything was fine, I really want to come back here!

Great hotel.We were there from August 31 to September 11. I liked the food, the economy room stock is a little tired, but they are cleaned every day.They try to eliminate all the shortcomings at once. The territory is large, and the ocean and beaches are simply gorgeous.One with turtles and calm, the second wave for the series, but we jumped on them and enjoyed, do not delay.It was out of season, heavy rains, the sun saw everything.And what a rich animal world in the hotel:chipmunks, monkeys, monitor lizards, even saw a small snake (of course, we were not happy with it)))).We took an excursion from the tour operator to the center of the island for two days.We were absolutely delighted. Animation is weak.In the evening there is music on the veranda.There are a lot of local Laankians at the hotel on weekends.

We liked it. Not a bad hotel. It is very well located. It turns out to be between two small bays. Both have excellent beaches. Food is not familiar at first, but over time you get used to it and get into the taste). The furniture is a bit old and in some places it would not be bad to make repairs. If you don't mind the tip too much, then the room will be clean.

There is a gorgeous beach next to this hotel, where wild turtles really swim, not like in Unavantuta. Dickwella is probably the most optimal city in Sri Lanka, there are not many people there, and the ocean is more or less calm.

June 23rd. A cozy and cute hotel for unassuming tourists. Retro. The ocean is at your feet. Two empty beaches. Bounty views. All sorts of little animals. There is no animation. The children of the Internet have reformatted to communicate and play ball, swim with turtles and feed them, catch geckos.. another vacation)). A cozy, well-groomed territory, not small for a SHL. The pool is about 1.2m high, clean, water, desalinated. Panorama, sunsets, crashing waves. No-frills food. The staff is pleasant. The Internet is decent. Water and light are always there. Room 36 superior on the 2nd floor is large, with a direct view of the ocean and the evening sun. The canopy. Large balcony. Conday. A small refrigerator in the bowels of an old buffet))). Kettle, hair dryer, soap. There are no slippers and bathrobes. I.e. these are not European 5*. There's no latch here, it's padded. Everything is OK if you are not looking for movement, but relaxation. The town is nearby, but do you need to go there)). there are tuktukers at the gate of the hotel, for reasonable money they will take you to different beaches and temples in the area. Take repellents, a corkscrew and adapters for sockets.

Good day! While still on vacation at this hotel, I am writing a review! Upon check-in, they gave the number -2, after 8 days of arrival and replacing the number -2 the next day, I tell everyone with confidence - these are the most terrible numbers 2/3/4! Upon arrival, ask for everything above this room stock! The hotel was built in 1981 ! The rooms are all old and for those who only need to spend the night! Food for 4 with a minus, everything is like everywhere else in Asia for an amateur! Prices for alcohol and sea products and fruits are overpriced! Shrimp for our money 700-800 rubles, per kg., fish (different) - the same prices! In restaurants and cafes, prices are even higher! 3- stars for the gorgeous location and nature!

We were in May 2023. The location is good, the ocean is warm, 2 beaches, one with waves, the second for swimming, there are turtles. The breakfasts are monotonous, but delicious, there are fruits, omelets, pancakes, sausages. We went to lunch and dinner, you won't be hungry, but without enthusiasm. They give fish, shrimp, rice, pasta, salads are not tasty. There are not many sweets, but there is something to drink tea with. The staff is very friendly, all rooms are very simple. We were bitten by sand gnats, so take repellents and ointment after bites, the itching is severe. It's sparsely populated, and everything is good for an ordinary family holiday. You can buy coconut on the beaches.

A great hotel for your money. Yes, the rooms have seen life, but they are cleaned well. The dining room and restaurant are one of the few places where you can eat deliciously and safely. The chef is well done, asks what he wants and brings it to life. The beaches on both sides are good: one for novice surfers, the second with giant turtles. There is no need to go anywhere. In the evening, guest musicians sing and play at the hotel. The hotel justifies its price in full.

A very cozy and homely place. Competent location of buildings, a good buffet. Wonderful view at breakfast. They are straining local molesters that are spinning outside the territory. You just go to the beach and they stick to you. All the sights are a little far away. Waves, but you can find where to swim. The pool is good, if there are still places around, then you can lie down and have fun. Near supermarket and alco hotel

We had a rest in December 2022. The hotel was built in the early 80s and it feels like a lot has not changed since then. But everything is compensated by the beautiful sea - the hotel is located on a peninsula and is surrounded by beautiful beaches on both sides. One of these beaches is almost deserted and you can swim perfectly. We took breakfasts and dinners - the buffet was quite modest, but there was everything we needed. I will also note a wonderful Christmas dinner. I can't add a photo because Yandex doesn't understand the HEIC format. ^(

We were vacationing with a family of 3 people. August 2023. Wonderful place, great beach, very good location. The hotel is cozy. It's not noisy at all. During our two weeks at the hotel, we got to know almost everyone. This suggests that there are not very many rooms and not very many people. A great place to relax your soul is calm. But there is still a fly in the ointment in this barrel. I strongly advise against taking an all inclusive package to this hotel. It's called: Not everything is included. This is the first time I've met a hotel where they don't give bottled water in the bar. Although I have been traveling for many years. This is the first time I've met a hotel where at lunch you are offered one drink (wine n-r) per person, maybe it's translation difficulties, I don't argue. But either you only drink beer. Or one drink per person. This is not all inclusive. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were informed that your rate starts at 19:00! I see this for the first time, although they settled right away without waiting for 14:00. Only after calling the manager at the travel agency, the guide ran to us and said that you can go to lunch. Although we didn't really want to. But the situation spoiled the impression. We specifically took the family room, all rooms in this category are listed as sea view, so there is one! the building, which is located sideways to the ocean and there is no sea view from it. That's where they put us! We have enough, an expensive ticket, again all inclusive, and, judging by the bracelets, there are very few such tourists, two or three pairs. There was a building next to us with a sea view, and there were rooms available, we saw that, but for some reason they settled either locals or foreigners there, but not Russians. It smacks of discrimination. It really spoiled the impression. Moreover, we contacted the reception with a request to change the room. We were told that everything was occupied, although the family rooms were available. There is also a beach bar, but it is only paid. I had to go to the main bar for drinks, he's the only one here. For 4 stars, it's a little weak, of course, confident 3 stars, and then on a "breakfast only" ticket. There was a situation when titanium was removed from dinner so that people could brew tea and coffee for themselves, and only after tourists began to be very indignant, as it was indicated in the description that there was tea and coffee for breakfast and dinner, the titanium was kind of returned to its place. Again, we tried to save money. Moreover, when there were local titans present. Russian russians are mostly at dinner, but mostly Russian tourists are here for the rest.(locals come on weekends, or on holidays) they tried to remove the titan. That is, again, discrimination against Russians! It's very stressful. If there are no local vacationers, then lunch should be ordered in the morning. That is, it is no longer a buffet: they bring you a menu of 2-3 dishes to choose from, and you tell them what you will eat at lunch. Well, that is, it is also not quite all inclusive again. There was a holiday at the time of our stay and drinks are not sold or served on this day, including in hotels! But for some reason no one warned us about this, that is, we had 1 day at all, without alcohol. And everything is paid for! Although we are not particularly non-drinkers and we had a supply of duity free with us, but this also upset us. If desired, it was possible to resolve this issue. Alcohol is strictly prohibited in the UAE, but hotels somehow circumvent this situation. I'm not going to talk about furniture. The interior of the hotel is all the little things. Although for whom as. Well, they still play their part. The hotel management needs to be more customer-oriented. There is, of course, a person who performs the role. guest relation but this is not enough. It only records your requests and wishes. But basically he says that the management decided so, and that's the end of it. In general, the savings of the hotel owner look on the face, and this is very frustrating. Once again: maybe trips with "breakfast only" are normal. Although it gets dark very early, it's already dark at 6 o'clock, and going out to dinner in such darkness? Well, I'll tell you what, it's not for the faint of heart. The roads are very narrow and cars drive fast. But all our tourists did not complain about it. People in Sri Lanka are very good-natured, smiling, friendly! But the hotel staff is beyond praise, ranging from gardeners, workers and ending with waiters, bartenders. Everyone is very conscientious about their work. They are constantly painting and repairing something. Our air conditioner failed several times, and it was repaired very quickly. On the beach, an employee will immediately bring you a mattress, fix the chaise longue - well done. Drinks are also brought quickly at the bar. They clean the plates very well, well done beyond praise. Animation, of course, is weak, so to speak, although volleyball, darts, aqua aerobics, please. In the evening, there were several live music and discos. But the animator is also trying. On the other hand, animation is not so important here. It is here that you rest your soul: quiet and peaceful. Well, anyway, it seemed to me that there are more advantages than disadvantages, there is something to work on, I mean the owner and the management of the hotel, but everything is saved by the location and many indicate this in the reviews. Although the location is still not the merit of the hotel.

The coastal strip is not cleaned, bags, sticks, leaves in large quantities. Next, the ocean is clean, the water is warm, transparent. The depth is good.Stones, corals are needed. The reverse current is strong, there are no rescuers, the responsibility on the beach is on tourists. Turtles, fish in sufficient quantity. The staff is friendly, the rooms on the website photo do not correspond to reality, guest chairs and a mosquito canopy are not in all rooms. The family rooms are cool. The food is normal, there were no hungry. Fruits at breakfast are cut and given out in doses.

The rooms leave much to be desired. But the location is just wahh. And you can swim even out of season. We were in July and August. We swam every day, because the reef extinguishes the waves, and they are huge. The breakfasts are mediocre. It's the same thing. The dinners were good. It was a good choice. And especially sweets. That's what they can do, so it's desserts. They have a solid 5. The territory is licked. The pool is clean. A huge minus for this money is the room.

Wonderful green area, awesome beach. A big minus is the beach-fighting scammers, it's tedious to keep an ear sharp with them, especially with a long-haired curly one, in no case give money in advance, you can say goodbye)))) The food is quite normal, especially the dinners. The hotel is a bit old, but everything else covers this misunderstanding. In general, those who are looking for a relaxing holiday, a gorgeous calm beach without strong waves, come here

The super hotel is located on a promontory, on the sides of a different ocean and a beach. One is wide, the other is narrow but with turtles. The left block of buildings with rooms is more windy, and the right block is blocked from the wind. From the room you can step into the pool, or into the sea. It's a good place, and there's an animator at the pool. Red Calypso rum is very decent.

We returned six months later, changing the review from 5 stars to 2. The owners of the hotel have changed. As a result: 1. The service has become at the level of Crimean "hotels", there is little left of friendliness. 2. Breakfasts and dinners have become worse. 3. The guards stopped letting taxis into the parking lot, arguing that they were in the way. 4. Beach fights have intensified and are practically climbing over the fence to sell tours. 5. Security at the exit to the shore has also become more active, but for the worse - now they are forced to leave towels on the territory of the hotel, which was not the case before As a result, I do not want to return here at all, but only a year ago it was said well here.

I'll start with the claims against the hotel itself: 1) Ants. They're everywhere. In the toilet, on the rim of the toilet, on the floor, we were in the bed a couple of times 2) A leaky door to the balcony 3) Maybe a bad laundry, because we asked to replace the bed linen, brought the same dirty linen and an unpleasant smell was added to this 3) Bad internet Now the most disgusting thing is the staff: 1) The staff does not speak English well to the extent that they do not know words such as towel 2) As I said, the cleaning is bad 3) Disgusting attitude towards the guests. Starting by not fulfilling requests by type to put a foot towel or two shampoos. Ending with their ignoring, on the fifth day of our stay, they began to put glass bottles on us, on the same day I asked the cleaner to put plastic ones next time and change these, which of course did not happen. Later, by contacting the reception, I also remain ignored and so I approached 3 times. as a result, he injured his leg with shards of glass from a broken bottle I hope for some kind of compensation, because of the fault of the hotel, we lose the tour and the remaining 3 days of rest. I am waiting for feedback.

I really liked the hotel, the service. The food in the restaurant is varied enough, the curry is on a regular basis, the rest changes every day. There is a large territory, there is golf, there is volleyball, there is a jewelry store and souvenirs, outside the hotel there are restaurants and cafes of local owners. The supermarket is a 15-minute walk away. You can take a tuk tuk. There is a surfing school on the beach (lessons in English), you can sometimes see turtles, crabs and small fish. Wi-Fi was poorly caught in the room, something was repaired, but it was not repaired ... water is always brought to the room in glass bottles, if they do not even clean the room at your request, then water will still be left for you near the door. The rooms are cleaned well in general for Asia. It is necessary to understand the fauna, small lizards everywhere, in the room too. In general, I liked everything, beautiful views.

For the first time in Sri and it's love at first sight. We refused a cool 5* in another area after seeing Dickwell and were not disappointed! You can look at nature everywhere, you want to talk about the hotel: the location is gorgeous, almost every room has sea view, authentic furniture, adds flavor to the palm trees that go up into the sky, if you don't mind the little things - it's generally perfect! The staff is the main impression that made the stay wonderful - very responsive and friendly people. We got into the rains, it was pouring all over the vacation, they run out of the restaurant when they see that tourists are going to eat and see off with the zones! It's so incredibly cute, by the way, there are umbrellas in every room)) our room was flooded and we were moved to a new one. No frills kitchen, everything you need. Empty plates on the table do not stand for a minute at a meal, the guys rustle. Animation is easy - water aerobics, sports, they try, you can always keep yourself busy. Every morning there is some kind of movement, the territory is combed, removing the fallen leaves, the palm trees are trimmed, the guards are always smiling, but everyone here is smiling at you like a friend! As soon as you want to move the deck chairs, they will immediately come running, they will do everything themselves, a mattress, towels, well, they just take care of you at every step. And, most importantly, the sincere smiles of all the staff and an ambulance in any case. In general, the impressions are the best. Chipmunks run around the territory, a couple of monitor lizards walk in the distance, sometimes 2 langurs come in, a hotel on the cape, 2 coves and a clean pool around, we swam everywhere, everything is super. Compared to China and India, it's just Europe, everything is great, we'll come back ourselves, we'll send friends! 💜🙏🌿
