The hotel was perfect for us to relax after active week of travelling. You can see the ocean just from bed. The rooms are really clean, stylish and spacious. There is a good variety of teas in a room. The staff are super friendly and smiling. They offer free yoga sessions and massage service which was great. The breakfast was good. The best part was that it is not a crowded and touristy place, so it is perfect to relax.

Best place in Sri Lanka! I'm usually too lazy to write reviews, but this one is truly worth it. We found ourselves in the middle of a jungle. Everything was meticulously maintained and clean. At the end of the trail was our room. The pool was beautiful, and the decor was tastefully done. The private beach is just a stone's throw away. I don't know what else to say. The staff was incredibly kind, and we're leaving with regret for not having stayed more nights. Highly recommended!

The breakfast was basic but satisfying: an egg, toast, fresh fruit (delicious) and plentiful coffee. The WiFi was strong throughout the property, the room was clean and had everything I needed. The staff were sweet and attentive. I would have loved to have stayed longer!

I rarely write such long reviews, but this place is truly amazing - it is something between a 5-star hotel and a hip beach community hangout. The location beyond amazing - it is right on the beach and there is a freshwater lagoon right next to the property - you can go paddle-boarding or kayaking in the lagoon if you want, or if you prefer the ocean - go there. Or both. Getting to the hotel is fun - a very narrow road meanders through a lush forest and you think you are going to the end of the world, then you arrive at a stylish hotel with a lush garden right on the beach and a elegant stylish pool in the middle. The pool looks like an architectural accent, but it is actually a pool. The hotel is right on the beach - you can even have a table moved to the sand if you want for breakfast, lunch or dinner - or anytime actually. The food and cocktails at this hotel are like at a 5-star establishment. But the staff is friendlier:-) The menu is traditional Sri Lankan with a twist of different flavors - some European, some Malaysian, a bit of Thai and African. The food is excellent, the fish is locally sourced from the fishermen that are 50 meters away. All of the rooms face the ocean. The options are a room with your own very large balcony facing the ocean, or a ground level room with your own spacious patio facing the ocean. The beach is about a kilometer long - empty, no umbrellas, no vendors, no shacks - just fishermen going about their business. If you feel like talking to them (most barely speak English) you could. If not, just set up camp under the shade of the palm tree and you feel like on a deserted island. Once that gets old you can go back to the hotel - the food, the cocktails and the service put a 5-star establishment to shame! Zander is the most excellent and amazing host ever and has the sweet, friendly dog named Loki, who is a constant source of "cuteness" around. This is a magical place!

Closeness to the main turtle Beach and Rekawa Turtle association, 5 mins walk. Beautifully kept gardens the rooms look onto. Amazingly designed and thought out rooms for such a small area....no one overlooks each other, so you have lots of privacy.. Huge comfy bed and massive walking shower in the bathroom. Many lights to create your own ambiance. Loved our patio with wooden chairs and a separate large table where breakfast is served. Where we watched plenty of birds each morning. Ceiling fan rotated well and air-conditioning was super cold and powerful, rarity on our travels in SL. Decent fridge too. Fantastic local restaurant run by a sweet family called Ruwani 2 mins,walk away. Lastly the owner Tatoo kept us happy with cold cheap beer and water.

This place is an amazing calm oasis. The bungalows are spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We loved the garden with all the palm trees and the pool area with a view of the lake where you can see many different birds. We also spotted monkeys in the trees. Highly recommend this hotel!

    It is right on the beach so fabulous ocean views. We made the mistake of booking a small beach cabana because of it's location, but without air conditioning. We had to move the second day to an air conditioned room without a sea view simply because we couldn't cope with the heat, and let me add here that we are Aussies and use to hot. The manager was great and happily moved us to a lovely air conditioned room.

    Great hotel located in Kalametiya, right on the beach. There is an infinity pool on premises, since the waves are too big to allow for safe ocean swimming. The rooms are large and clean. AC works well. Laundry was done perfectly, and spa services are professional and recommended. Breakfast is simple but delicious. Staff is all smiles, welcoming and professional.
