A modern,clean and very relaxing boutique style hotel set back from the very busy main street. The room was a good size with good quality furniture, comfortable bed, roof fans and air conditioning that worked.Tea and coffee was replenished everyday. The bathroom was also modern with a drench style shower. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. In particular Aruno Thayan made sure our stay was fault free and very enjoyable. It gives you confidence in and establishment when you see a manager actually managing his staff for the benefit of the customer, well done. We checked nearby restaurants but returned to the hotel every night and used their restaurant because the food was well presented, good quality and reasonably priced. There is a decent sized clean pool which is better than using the beach. A tuk tuk from the station/central town should be 300rupee(locals 100) and to/from the airport 800/1000rupee negotiate you will always pay more than the locals but that is Sri Lanka wide
