We returned to Cape Weligama again for a short stay. We were welcomed back as if we were old friends. The villa was beautiful with everything we needed. Shanaka our room boy was brilliant making sure everything was perfect for us. Whenever we wanted to go to the restaurant or the bar Udiya was there ready with a buggy to take us. Thanks to Chamara and Venura for looking after us again too and making our stay so special. The grounds were kept immaculate at all times. The moon pool was beautiful with spectacular views and the pool guys were there ready with towels and cool drinks. The food was superb. Can’t wait for our next visit, hopefully for much longer as a short stay is never enough. You have a great team - Thank you

Home away from home!

Reviewed By PaulieG74

Exactly as my title goes, this is my Home away from Home. I cannot recall going to Hikkaduwa and not staying at this place. from the moment you get out of the vehicle to the moment you leave, you're at home. The staff are attentive and friendly. They're courteous but not invading. They're professional and polite. very special mentions to the restaurant staff like Lalaka and his crew. Rohan, Mr. Bandara, Sanjaya and Jagath are some of my point of contacts. It all shows who much is invested by the management, Mr. Siri Gunawardana and the Executive team to groom and train them.
