Great place near the beach, nice atmosphere, set in a lovely garden. The owners are very friendly and helpful and they make the most delicious breakfast. We were in the family chalet with two bedrooms, simple basic comforts, but all you need for a beach stay. They also have newer air-con rooms. The beach is 5 min walk.

This place is a little paradise! You wake up directly at your private beach. The room is big, the bed is comfortable, the bathroom is clean and there's air condition. The house itself is so pretty and decorated beautifully. It looks just like the pictures, or even better:) Mandy, the host, is such a sweetheart and gave us so many tips. They organized a privat boat pick-up to pigeon Island and borrowed us snorkeling equipment. The food they offer (besides breakfast you can order lunch/dinner/snacks/dessert anytime) is freshly home cooked and very delicious. So you don't even have to leave the place to look for food, which we really enjoyed since we visited in December (which is not season). We even had a little candlelight dinner right on the beach, which was so romantic and nice. Would highly recommend going there, if you are looking want some relaxing beach days!

this is an ideal place for privacy and relaxation. There are only birds and lizards around and not a single person. The staff is great! Caring, polite, surrounds with attention and warmth. Very kind and open people. The hotel itself is cute and incredibly authentic, well-kept grounds, cute houses. There is everything you need for a holiday. Very tasty food and great selection of dishes. Incredibly delicious seafood and cool barbecue on the beach. Beautiful and cozy right on the ocean shore.

The best place we stayed in Sri Lanka. Room was excellent. The kitchen was clean and provided us with everything we needed. The view was amazing. The pools were where we spent most of our time, as well as in the water at the beach only a few steps from the pools.

    Amazing location right on the beach. A real eye for detail in the design of the space, everything created for pure chillout. Plenty of shade if you wanted it on the large double bed sized divans. Order up a cocktail, take a dip in the ridiculously warm ocean 30 metres away - what’s not to love?

    Very nice hotel, right on the beach with it's own private beach which is cleaned every day. Tranquil location. Nice big pool which is very clean. Dappled shade on the beach from the coconut palms make sunbathing very comfortable. Sunbeds and beach towels are provided. Manager and staff are fantastic. Can't find any faults. PADI dive centre next door and can get to pigeon island very easily from here. Food is pretty good in the restaurant. Very comfortable bed and quality linen

    A wonderful, spacious and thoughtfully decorated apartment for a couple of nights in Nilaveli. The bedrooms were comfortable and outlook across the pool to the ocean was wonderful. We loved being right on the beach and having access to the pool. Due to friends also staying in the area, we are confident that this is one of the better apartments in this complex :-) We had a minor request during our stay and messaged the owners via booking.com. They were very responsive.
