Nice location close to beach to relax and enjoy.
Rooms are among the bushes in separate apartments among bushy area with beach view. It gives you a nice feeling when you walk around. The quality of food in the restaurant is very good. The Manager is very friendly and helpful. Customer service at the counter is very good. Enjoyed the high ceiling room and separate toilet and shower which gives more flexibility in using. Felt very refreshed after one night stay. Wish we should have booked at least two days. Felt as if the good time was over so soon. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment there.

Great location.
It was there for two days. Perfect location for my visit. Pleasant staff and friendly people. They got access to the shallow beach area that you can walk towards the sea. Nice pool area. Green environment. Indeed feel like close to nature. Some cons: my room ac is too noisy. I was distracting. No internet. Cable tv connection also not stable. Overall good experience.

A rustic hotel away from the hustle and bustle
The resident manager, Chef and the others made us feel at home from the time we arrived for our short stay. The room (cabana) was spacious, comfortable and clean. The simple and authentic Sri Lankan food was made to order. we had the beach to ourselves with no other hotel in sight.

Great location but poor coordination
Not great at all, hotel has got an excellent location with a fantastic beach but service and coordination is not great at all. Staff are not trained enough to satisfy or attend to guest needs or even to sort out something. inbookex an ocean view room with bath tub but got neither after getting to the hotel. when we mentioned what our booking was all the front desk had to say was ocean rooms are all given. So we basically didn't get what we booked.

A quiet, peaceful retreat
The Giman provides a rejuvenating haven in a beautiful setting. Rooms are luxuriously clean and comfortable. Staff were attentive and accommodating. Food was delicious. It is some distance away from other tourist facilities, good if you want peace and quiet, but a 20 minute tuk tuk ride away if you want to shop or try alternative restaurants.

ただ1っ件のホテルでビーチを独占、外部一般客もいない。Seaviewの部屋は内空が大きく贅沢な設計になっていてゆったりできる。唯一問題で亜ttのが電力の供給が十分で無かったが、スタッフの臨機応変の対応で合格。 またSPAも常設されていて1時間6000Rps.と手ごろで内容は合格。

Weitläufiges Resort
Sehr relaxtes Resort in weitläufiger Anlage. Essen war vielfältig, grosse Portionen und sehr lecker. Am Besten mit Halbpension buchen, da weit ab vom Schuss.Keine Restaurants in der Nähe. Schöner Pool. Sehr freundliches Personal. Grosse Zimmer. Verbesserungsvorschlag: vorm Bungalow fehlen bequeme Liegen.
