Reviewed By sithump2022

we did not feel much when we entering the property . but the whole negative thoughts were changed after talking to the friendly staff and the welcome drink which we never tasted before in any of the hotels . room and the dining area is good . normally we are fans of buffet , but the food we got was superb and did not feel any difference of loosing a buffet .the person who arrange our food was extremely good guy who think the sustainability of the the place he work and it is very rare to find such people . having sea bath is our favorite , but lost the chance as sea bath as the sea was rough. surely we will visit your place again to enjoy the sea and the great food. to improve the perception , i would like to suggest that you keep your garden and the surrounding little bit of an orderly manner and keep it attractive the difference is your staff thanks

High Tea

Reviewed By ashhole2001

Visited for High tea, kinda disappointed when the restaurant staff weren't even informed about my High tea reservation when I already spoke to them over the phone and made the reservation before arriving. The restaurant wasn't really how I expected, was so noisy and a bit crowded with locals. The baked and savoury items tasted good but too much just for one person. Asked the waiter to refill my coffee but I was charged extra for that!

Saman Villas

Saman Villas is laid out on a magnificent rocky headland dividing two long, surf-swept golden beaches. Close by is a sleepy fishing village but you would not know it, the only sounds are sea gulls' cries and the surf below. The resort is inspired by ancient Sri Lankan architecture. The restaurants, bars and villa suites are all angled to take full advantage of the sea shore vista either side of the headland. A terraced garden draws the eye to a dramatic infinity-edge pool.

Beautiful perfect oasis

Reviewed By Nomadgal

Absolutely beautiful and blissful hotel with gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the ocean. The pool villas are well appointed with a private pool and open air rainshower, very comfortable and clean. Well equipped gym, lounge bar, and delicious food. Every meal I had there was top notch. The staff was very attentive and friendly. It has an intimate, getaway feel to it which I loved. You start the day with king coconut juice & a tailored breakfast. You can walk along the beach though the surf was too rough this time of year for swimming. No problems with power or generators despite challenges in the country now, and a short drive to see Bawa's Lunuganga estate. I'll definitely be going back.
