“What strikes me is its prime location on one of Sri Lanka's widest beaches and the commitment to wellness through its Ayurveda Massage Centre. The senior staff's long tenure suggests a stable, well-run establishment, while the proximity to Hikkaduwa Marine Park presents appealing opportunities for diving and snorkeling. It seems well-suited for families, with multiple pools and diverse dining choices.”

wonderful experience
comfortable sunbedsbeach locationnice poolkind staff
The comfortable sunbeds are located directly on the beach. The pool overlooks the beach. The service provided by the staff was really good. I found them kind. I especially appreciated the service from Wije. I would return for a relaxing day.
The bar area did not seem inviting. i think a refurbishment would improve the atmosphere
