Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers basic rooms quite far from the beach. The service was friendly and attentive. The location is beautiful but sparse in amenities. The dining was satisfactory with good Sri Lankan curries. The facilities are adequate for a short stay.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms right in front of the beach, perfect for a relaxing stay. The service was exceptional with staff going above and beyond to cater to our needs. The location is top-notch, resting on the laurels of its previous glory, providing a first-class experience by the best part of Nilavely beach. The dining options were extensive, catering to every taste, although it could benefit from more timing flexibility. Overall, a great value for a lovely getaway.
The hotel is located in the best part of Nilavely beach, offering a wonderful escape surrounded by corals, colorful fish, and turtles. The rooms are simple yet clean, with a comfortable balcony providing privacy. The service from the General Manager to room cleaners is exceptional, ready to assist with any need. The dining options are excellent, especially the fresh seafood choices.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with great ocean views, although not up to the reserved standard. The service was incredibly poor and unfriendly, both in the hotel and dive shop. The location, magical with access to a vibrant marine life, outweighed the letdown of reception staff and average rooms. Dining was good but lacked variety in the menu. Overall, a mixed experience with highs and lows.
