It is a nice peaceful resort. The staff especially in the resurant and pool side was so nice and friendly. The main drawback with this resort is it's not a good place during rainy season as it's on the bank of estuary. As the river water comes with force during rainy season the sea is muddy and cannot swim or play in the sea. The next thing is that the staff in the reception have no answer for anything you ask. If you ask what activities you have nearby they will tell you to Google. Tuk tuk is available if you walk to the main road, but they don't even help calling for one. So unless ypu have everything sorted it's better not to stay there as for all activities you have to go to either Mirissa or Weligama. If you are just coming to relax then it's a nice place. Food was not that great.

Very disappointing stay.When i reached i informed them that i want to upgrade to bigger room because i have 1 more guest with me,so they said it is already full.Later the manager informed that they can upgrade to room with private pool and they will add 1 more single bed (initially no available room so ot means they alraedy changed my room). i was surprised that the pool is not functionning for more than 1 month and totally dirty. Also i requested indining 3 times but the food came after 2 hours. The room is dirty and espcially the tables.

Food is good, lots of chices and close to authentic. Difficulty road to get to the hotel, then this is normal for Sri Lankan hotel outside of Colombo.

We like the executive room not the room with the pool, the pool is too small and u the room is not renovated yet. The executive room with a jacuzzi was much better with the view the refurbishment and the shower inside

Ok but not great
The rooms are nice and clean. The staff at the front desk is not very helpful. The pool area is nice but a chain fence around the beach area puts a major damper on the overall feel of the place.

Quiet spot with Nice staff. A bit dated.
Nice little place. A bit 1970s feel, but actually we found it pretty comfortable and the rooms were large and well appointed. Management made an effort to introduce themselves and made sure we were comfy. It’s a bit of an odd location - a bit stuck between Weligama town and Mirissa town but it works ok as we walked the road into town and caught a tuk tuk back easily enough. I’d say it’s somewhat faded but good value. Wifi was sketchy in the room. Gym was a bit rusty. Breakfast was good - with lots of options. Bar staff and restaurant staff very helpful. Receptionist was lovely and helpful.

Horror hotel
Horrible stay I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The pool had an electrical wire going into the pool I told the manager he said he would fix it immidately and never did which is a huge life risk. Beach was horribly dirty. I had a huge spider the size of my hand in my room the manager said it's ok it's just a spider. Then after they took the spider out maybe half an hour later I had a swarm of about 40 flies in my room even though I had no doors or windows open in my room. The hotels solution was to spray about four cans of bug spray in my room which gave me a massive headache and nautious to the point of me throwing up three times. Worst hotel I ever stayed at I will never go there again.
