Very nice refurbished hotel. Everything clean and tidy. Great room. Staff are very friendly and always tried, to fulfill every request. Dining room very cool because hochgedrehter air conditioning. Very few german, too many tourists from the Ukraine, but very discreet occurrence. Many ' beach boys' on hotelzaun at the beach (on the hotel complex must not), the all possible want to sell and to the part. Very annoying. Especially younger women opposite very pushy. read more

The hotel has the very low expectations, due to the other reviews the we, to undercut a multiple. The first room was a joke (mold, shuttered windows, freshly painted bath etc.) and we got after intensive protests a different room (in other words, the plaster here only a little paint on the ceilings and the bathroom could use the wrecking ball) The hotel does not lie in the absolute 'ghetto-environment' and is suitable only for a sun holiday. The staff wants a good portion of tip to advance a little motivated to be, before the first handshake and then ... each third day again a bit. With complaints the hotel can not deal at all, we are simply no piece. To this end it wishes to spoil it, with the drinking money partyfreudigen tourists not, so all can see away if, for example, the feral dogs to be fed with food. The beach Boys also at least be supplied with water, are thus gladly and continuously on the fence. All in all the hotel was not. Cubic meters way color, a lot of concrete and new wood, as well as a customer-friendly staff could help, is but rather unlikely. read more

Was a very nice holiday in a beautiful country. The wildlife is simply very beautiful, Chipmunk to the beach. One must of course be not a lover as my previous reviewers! SIM card from dialogue and to call home. Love the people have a read each of our wishes were fulfilled and, also without tips! The sea was unfortunately no possibility to swim, to be careful with the high waves. Herb is unfortunately absolute ripoff. Slimming products for over 100 euro, is out as vinegar. so keep away from the water! read more

The is located directly on the beach hotel. I can so many negative opinions here, the have been also not understand. Staff is very friendly, the cleanliness in the rooms and in the facility is very good. The hotel is already something old and in need of renovation, what me but not particularly disturbed has. One feels here simply well. Only the waiter at the bar were something Bluez and there was unfortunately in the glasses lack. Entertainment was as good as not what us was very pleasant. The sea was unfortunately the swim through the high waves not possible ..., but has the 'surfing' made all the more fun. Unfortunately are on the last two days a herd of Poland approached, the really have behaved impossible, were really annoying. The train behind the hotel did not bother us. We have booked our trips directly over FTI, with the beach Boys us was simply to unsafe. read more

We were with friends in this hotel and was pleasantly surprised with the nice resort, it is also not more the newest you, so to a lot of trouble to renovate the property. During our stay from 2 february 2010 to 17 february 2010 all four floors had recently been painted. The outdoor area is well maintained and the immediate pickings is of course wonderful. All rooms has a very nice view over the sea and the sunset. As everywhere, for a small tip is almost every wish was fulfilled. Price/performance ratio is on each case. This is our second ... trip through in the lovely Sri Lanka. read more

The area had an average size and needed a renovation. Damages from earlier (perhaps tsunami) were only repaired insufficiently (rendering of the facade etc.). The total outcome of the cleaning was sufficient, although there was some need of improvement in some areas. The all inclusive services included three dishes, all non-alcoholic drinks and the local alcoholic drinks, but there was a wide range available despite the limits. Something that disturbed or confused us was that you had to name the number of your room and leave a signature at every drink you ordered, although you booked all inclusive. You ... got the feeling of being kept under surveillance of what you were drinking. The guests mainly came from Great Britain, a few German and Indian guests were also there. The average age was 45-50 years. read more
  • Room
    4.0

    The room was big and spacious but in a slight need of repair as far as the floor was concerned (tiles shook). The amenities were good: phone, sofa with table, balcony with sea view, minibar, safe (but a bit rickety fixed in the closet), kettle with coffee powder and tea bags, air-conditioning and TV (few international TV channels). The bathroom was a bit fixer-upper as far as the santary fittings were concerned. The covering of the bathtub fall off when you touched it. The cleanness was all right.

  • Gastronomy
    4.0

    There were a restaurant for the three meals and two air-conditioned bars. The quality of the dishes was good, however, they repeated very often and not as usual in the weekly regular cycle. Cleanness and hygiene were good. The cuisine was mainly local, so I missed a multicultural cuisine. The atmosphere was good, they played a soothing background music and sometimes piano or guitar players created a good atmosphere.

  • Service
    2.0

    The staff in the gastronomy area wasn't friendly at all. You didn't get the feeling of being welcome. The drinks were sometimes served after eating. The only foreign language they spoke was English. I couldn't complain about the service at the room cleaning, friendliness and results were correct here. Their dealings with complaints was very negligent, that means they didn't try to rectify the faults and you didn't notice any sign of sympathy or hear an apology.

  • Sport & Entertainment
    3.0

    The was an entertainment offer twice or three times a day and you could use a fitness room for free. Moreover, you had the possibility to shop jewellery, clothes and souvenirs. The beach was clean in the area of the hotel section but after that there was a big need for cleanness. The water was very turbulent from March to October (danger of undercutting), but from Novemter to February it was smooth and clear and you could swim well in it. The beach chairs were in need of repair since one part of their headboard weren't height-adjustable anymore and the wheels were falling of. The pool had a very nice structure, there was a pool bar, a non-swimmer's and a swimmer's area. However, there was a slight lack of cleanness in the pool (fallen off palm leaves etc.). The showers at the pool were in a normal, respectively good state. There was a discoteque, but no events took place in there.

  • Location

    The hotel was directly by the ocean. The next town Kalutara was 2 km away. It took about 2,5 hours with the car to the airport of Colombo. Shopping and entertainment possibilities were rather bad since the hotel was in the middle of a local housing estate and therefore no evening strolling at a promenade with stores or bars was possible. The excursions were offered from different tour operators and were so far so good, but you should check the ratio between price and performance before.

The hotel was a small one and therefore you could watch everywhere. All around it was a big palm garden in which you always found enough free pool chairs which were placed in the shade. We actually liked the hotel very much, but with the facade for example, you could see that a renovation wouldn't do harm. The area was always clean and neat. When we visited the hotel most guests were British with a few German. read more

    We were very satisfied with the room. We lived in a bungalow with sea view and balcony. The beds were comfortable, the room was quite big and always clean.

  • Gastronomy
    4.0

    All bars and the Waves buffet restaurant were included in the all inclusive package. In addition, there were two à la carte restaurants we never tried out. All in all, we were content with the food and we tolerated everything well. For breakfast, freshly prepared eggs, cold sausages, cheese, jam etc. were offered as well as curry dishes already. The lunch and dinner buffet contained many local dishes which were quite spicy at times but tasted quite good. A few international dishes like pasta were also always available. Something we didn't quite understand was that the meat often contained small bones or was tough. However, you always found something to eat which also tasted good.

  • Service
    5.0

    Knowledges in foreign languages were very good. You could get along easily with English. We were completely content with the room service. Our room was always nicely done for a small tip. In the gastronomy area the employees were quite after tips, which could be quite annoying in an all inclusive holiday. The dealt well with complaints. Our room card didn't work as a key and they immediately took care of it and changed the lock.

  • Sport & Entertainment
    5.0

    The pool was clean and beautiful. The pool bar was very comfortable and was situated in the shade. There were only few activities like volleyball and also in the evening it was rather quiet in the hotel. So, someone who was looking for a club holiday or a kids club was wrong here. However, the hotel was good for a quiet relaxing holiday with a few excursions.

    The hotel was directly at the beach and about 2,5 hours away from Colombo. Nearby (about 15 minutes drive with the tuk-tuk) was the town of Kalutara with shopping possibilities and possibilities for a massage and the like. These were much cheaper in Kalutara than in the hotel itself. The area in front of the hotel wasn't very inviting, however you didn't notice the railway lines in the hotel. We didn't like the beach and the ocean very much. The ocean often had very high waves due to the monsoon and, therefore swimming wasn't always possible. There were always beach boys at the beach, they were annoying but also offered drives to Kalutara, excursions or the like. These were much cheaper there than the offered services in the hotel.
