8.8/10 Excellent! (18 reviews)
If you're looking for a beach vacation with ocean views, this is not the spot. If you're looking for luxury, this is not where you should stay. However if you're looking to sleep somewhere with a mosquito net over your head, a place to shower and 2 minutes away from seeing turtles then this is the place for you. This hotel has the essential basic needs, bed, shower, mosquito net, towels, soap, toilet paper. I mention these, because if you're expecting a hotel that provides shampoo, lotions, a fridge or any other amenities, this is not the case. Service on the other hand is exceptional. The staff and everyone who works at the hotel is very kind and happy to accommodate our requests. The menu was varied, and we tried quite a few dishes and were pleased with all of them. If you're coming to see turtles on Rekawa beach, then book your stay here, it's literally a 2 min walk to the beach (we saw baby turtles making their way to sea, and mama turtles laying eggs in the evening). If however you don't care about seeing turtles, book elsewhere. The hotel is not close to much else, and there are no swimmable close by.

Everything was perfect, genuinely nothing to fault with this resort. Staff were so nice and friendly, the facilities were 10/10 and the food was amazing at their restaurant. The pool setup was very relaxing, overlooking a nice mangrove river with lots of wildlife. The rooms were also massive, clean and modern and I had a great 3 night stay here, I wouldn’t hesitate to book a stay here again when visiting Sri Lanka.

We loved our experience from beginning to end. A tranquil and beautiful place, with so many places to rest and explore within the walls. Loved the room, the pools, the food was excellent, the store for crafts and the wildlife surrounding us was the perfect way to recalibrate after a long flight and shake off any residual stress. We would love to return.
