Reviewer Type: Extended Group

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Location is very nice and unique ppace to visit, with lovely resturants in the fisherman town and beautiful nature all around. Manager, Sam, is there to help and suggest nice places to see around. Staff is hard working and very nice.

Negative: Not maintained villa, dirty, the cleaning staff is poorly euiped. Many things are rusty, window handles broken off making some windows unusable. Rooms are not sealed with gaps in the windows or doors where bugs crawl in, specially if you have light on at the evening. In one of the rooms during our whole villa stay we had 3 nights where we found big american cockroach in the room disturbing our going to sleep routine. Manager blamed it on the previous guests however its more likely poor mantainence and incomplete sealing of the rooms. Villa had 3 rooms available, last room was occupied by manager. Which in our case was fine as we needed 3 rooms but something to consider if you need all 4. Pool was green for one of the days when we couldnt use it and overall it was cloudy blue, likely due to type of chemicals used to keep it algea free. Windows are dirty and full of paint drippings from previous painting. However the nature around the property and the unique location really pushes our rating up.

Summary: Villa with great location and privacy

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Location! Quiet and on the beach. Close to the Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary so you benefit from the variety of birds. Breakfast was very good. We loved it so much we extended our stay by 2 extra days. Long beach walks, seafood cafes dotted along the coast, watching local fisherman (whom you can join) in the early morning. Swimming pool is also a welcome relief from the sandy, salty beach.

Negative: Cellphone reception in general in the area is not good, but then again if you are chosing this location you are doing it to disconnect.

Summary: Piece of Paradise

Travel Purpose: business

Positive: Perfect location, great pool. Sea/beach just steps away. Beauty view from the good size pool. Helpful staff and great food done by the local cook. There are also a few restaurant around. Quiet place, almost no people on the beach.

Negative: Villa needs a bit of maintenance and cleaning. There are 4 separate rooms in one building(not connected). The living room is actually a bedroom with a kitchen(studio). Don't count on the fast Internet.

Summary: Perfect location with villa needing a maintanance.

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: This is a real gem. Absolutely amazing experience. We were upgraded to the “serenity” room. The views are simply breathtaking, and you feel immediately relaxed in this villa. The staff is very friendly, and the food is delicious. I was taken to safe swimming bay shielded by the rocks that is a one-minute walk away from the villa. We wanted to taste some Sri Lankan food and were treated to a treated to a wonderful meal served by the ocean, lit by lanterns and a bonfire. The room was spacious, very comfortable and offers great views. There are plenty of actives on offer which we really hoped had more time to enjoy. We really loved the late afternoon kayak ride in the lake in front, and even had a go at the archery target with bows and arrows. I assume kids would love the badminton courts and the mini kids playground. The next day morning I opted to go for a spa treatment in the rooftop café, and was one of the most energising body treatments I have had.

Negative: Nothing

Summary: The place is really special, so much to offer at this price, will definitely return for a longer holiday.
