Very quiet place, rooms are far from the road. The main noisemakers are chipmunks jumping on the roofs and munching on your fruits if you accidentally left it outside. Once I had a dinner there and I enjoyed the food. The hotel staff is extremely polite and helpful. I didn’t expect my calls will be answered at 4am when I arrived. However the hotel manager Jude was waiting for me and escorted me to my room. He also helped me with my PCR to travel back to Dubai. Water Anuradhapura greeted us every morning for breakfast, and Sanjula was helpful not only with the meal choice, but also he helped me to decide which beach do I go first and how do I get there. Overall, very much recommended! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DD3BBDFDC205B426E38D0F730507BB1DE70B86221637095762445.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/44540CB523119FAC32AE87FC8283DBA93A0E64E01637095759558.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/870E209B3D1DB41CCD7F33DC19D279A465EC13131637095748838.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4E2FC46B6C387FA6C0F652A6C689D1F5CA41B6CE1637095761295.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Daria Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A self-contained jungle paradise.

A La Carte menu was rather limited, but I guess a lot of people go out to eat. Special set menu on our first night (of 3) was excellent, though. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 25 Feb 2019 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Ok tre stjärnigt hotell Helt ok hotell. Vi bodde i den äldre delen av hotellet. En del myror och insekter kom in i rummet,ok för oss. Men är man rädd för små kryp så boka de lite dyrare rummen på den nybyggda delen. Bra frukost. Vi är veganer och det fanns alltid något till oss. Tre sorters frukt varje dag. Trädgården är fin men kunde vara mycket finare om den var lite bättre omhändertagen. Personalen hann inte städa undan alla löv som föll ned. Vi såg apor,ödlor och en fina fåglar i trädgården. Nära till stranden. Ca 10 min promenad. Restaurangen hade fin mat,dock lite dyrare än andra restauranger i området. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 17 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linnéa 24 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Underbart & charmigt hotell med ljuvlig trädgård Vi hade 4 fantastiska dagar på detta hotell. Vi var så glada i hotellet så vi inte ens hängde på stranden en enda gång under dessa dagar. Poolen och trädgården var heeeelt fantastiska. Bland de finaste trädgårdarna jag sett! Poolen var lång och lugnt med människor. Personalen var exceptionell, man kände sig verkligen som en del av en familj. De hade grym massage och ayurveda konsultation. Vi bodde i det billigaste rummet som var något litet och sängen var lite hård men helhetsupplevelsen av hotellet vägde upp mot det. Kan verkligen rekommendera detta hotell :) ##### Linnéa Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Prachtig gebouw met heerlijke rustig tropisch tuin waar alle kamers en restaurant liggen. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### evgeniya 17 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Отличный семейный отдых ПЕРСОНАЛ ОЧЕНЬ ОТЗЫВЧИВЫЙ.МЫ ЖИЛИ В НОВОМ КОРПУСЕ,НО ВАЙ ФАЙ ПРАКТИЧЕСКИ ВСЕ ВРЕМЯ ОТСУТСТВОВАЛ,ЗА ЭТО МИНУС ОТЕЛЮ.ЗА ВРЕМЯ НАШЕГО ПРЕБЫВАНИЯ БУФЕТ,Т.Е.ШВЕДСКИЙ СТОЛ БЫЛ НЕ СКОЛЬКО ДНЕЙ,КОГДА БЫЛИ ЗАПОЛНЕН ОТЕЛЬ,А ТАК СТАНДАРТ ОМЛЕТ,ТОСТЫ,ФРУКТЫ И СОСИСКИ,И НЕМНОГО ВЫПЕЧКИ.ОЧЕНЬ ХОРОШО УБИРАЛИСЬ,И ПРАКТИЧЕСКИ ВО ВРЕМЯ НАШЕГО ОТСУСТВИЯ В НОМЕРЕ,ДЛЯ НАС ЭТО БЫЛО ОЧЕНЬ ВАЖНО,ТАК КАК ДНЕМ У НАС ТИХИЙ ЧАС,ЕЗДИЛИ С ДВУМЯ ДЕТЬМИ. ##### evgeniya Stayed 14 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### luke, london 25 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent stay from start to finish We stayed here for a couple of nights near the end of August and initially our room had quite a bad damp smell. They offered us as change of room which was much fresher and couldn't do enough to assist us throughout our stay. It is in the most beautiful idyllic setting and the pool is awesome. Thoroughly recommend this stay and a massive thanks to all the friendly helpful staff.

Zumindest was die Economy Zimmer betrifft. Ich hatte Zimmer 1was direkt an die Küche grenzt. Alte durchgelegene Matratze, kein vernünftiger Kleiderschrank stattdessen eine Stange mitten im Zimmer zum Aufhängen der Kleidung. KEIN Warmwasser vorhanden. Auch nicht beim Duschen. Alles total abgewöhnt, enge Raumberhältnisse. Alles war schmuddelig, teilweise Stockflecken oder Schimmel an der Wand. Kein Handtuchhalter oder Haken im Bad. Als Seifenanlage diente ein alter Unterteller. Kein Zimmersafe vorhanden. WLAN war sehr miserabel, teils zu langsam für WhatsApp. Total verranzte Toilettenbrille und und und. Einzig schön war der Garten mit dem schön angelegten Teich. ##### Piet ### 8/10 Good #### kazu, 東京 2 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 中心部に近い。バスが頻繁にあり、分かりやすい。 誕生日だったが、スタッフがパーティーをディナーの時してくれた。テーブルセットやケーキの用意、良い夜でした。 ##### kazu ### 6/10 Okay #### Teppo 14 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Good hotel comparing others in the area We had big family room.

We were initially in an older room and it was horrible due to the bugs. The bathroom had lots of openings which allowed 5 large cockroaches into our room, it was disgusting. The room had many holes so bugs easily got into our room, which made the stay uncomfortable. They moved us to another room the second night which was still one of the older rooms but was a bit better. Still many holes in the foundation which allowed for bugs. I would ONLY recommend staying in one of the newer rooms. Would NOT recommend staying in the older rooms, they look nothing like the pictures. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Annie, Kent, UK 13 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very friendly hotel with excellent restaurant It was a surprise to find that most of the other guests were Danish - there is a special arrangement with a Danish travel company. The location was good, very quiet at night but just a short walk from the beach. The swimming pool was great. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I ate dinner almost every evening because the food was excellent and there was a good variety. ##### Annie ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Stay!

Hotel is old but clean... friendly staff and okay breakfast. Nice pool! The only problem was ants... a lot of ants IN the room. They should really try and fix that. ##### philippe ### 10/10 Excellent #### lingo, hong kong 15 Oct 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A very good hotel Family room is perfect for 4 people.
