The hotel is in a relaxing location slightly above the beach, offering a tranquil ambiance, but it's a bit far from the livelier Hikkaduwa. The rooms are tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean, though the pricing may not fully match the offerings. The service is outstanding, especially with their caring assistance during unexpected incidents. The dining experience is superb with a generous and delicious breakfast spread, while some room amenities may need improvement.
