Beautiful pool and location, very helpful local staff, unfortunately we had a bad experience with the booking manager Steve who was completely unresponsive to our calls and emails when we were trying to clarify our booking, except for the one email where he asked for the advance payment within 24h or our booking would be cancelled. Considering we were staying over NYE, it would have been difficult for us to find an alternative so late on (why didn’t they ask for the payment when we booked? We booked through their own website.) Also when we arrived we were informed that the NY dinner was compulsory and 100$ pp, which was actually not up to the standard. The facilities could also do with some refurbishment, decor quite kitsch. Overall not worth the 400$ per night.
If you like bawa, this is another suggestion for you to spend a night at. Try to get the sea view rooms as they're much spacious. Beach is not swimmable and the closest would be wijaya beach.
Awesome Property with great views of the beach and sunset. We were there along with our kid and we had an amazing time and can't wait to get back there.
Elegantly designed rooms with Geoffrey Bawa's contemporary tropicalism with openess and warm material, it was a wonderful experience.
Scintillating at its best, we were served really well. Pleasant and so relaxing. It's located on Mihiripenne Beach, 3 kms away from Unawatuna bay. If you just want some peace in life, a minute there is enough. English breakfast by the pool, listening to sea waves was just heavenly.
The down side of this hotel is the Rooms which are not as we expected for the price we paid. The rooms are run down, the bedsheets were stained, the mosquito net over the bed was stained. The whole hotel needs to be refurbished. The walls and pool area need some work in order to look nice. The up side of this hotel is certainly the food, very nice cocktail menu and nicely made drinks and cocktails. Breakfast was also great. Amazing beach front view and location. The staff were super friendly and helpful.
amazing Vila to experience..
Very beautiful and quite location..
Very beautiful place 💙 ☮
The best hotel I've ever stayed at! Amazing view, the nicest rooms and excellent service. This hotel is extremely cool and offers a boutique luxury in a relaxing manner. My warmest recommendations!
Great Hotel with good facilities and very friendly staff.
Very nice property to spend a few days at.
Very interestingly, this is a great place to come and bird watch. During the dry season, every night at sunset they have hundreds of little birds that come and put up for the night in the palm trees along the beach. Unbelievable sight to see.
A beautiful Boutique property in the South of Sri Lanka, perfect for relaxation and enjoying the beach. Staff members are very kind and helpful. We will visit this property again.
One of the best vacations i've had in the beach. Great service and very friendly manager. Do checkout their open-nature themed bathroom, it's super awesome!
Beautiful setting, fantastic, clean rooms and amazing bathroom. Food was delicious and service wonderful, attentive but not intrusive. Staff friendly and helpful for organising local surfing trips. Unable to swim at beach but thats the only negative.
Stayed April 2016, traveled as a couple
Incredible hotel, exactly what we were looking for after a stressful year & long drive down from the airport. The bathroom in our room was incredible with a huge outdoor shower area. Food was so good we didn't want to try anywhere outside of the hotel. Staff were all brilliant & attentive. Loved it & would highly recommend it.
