Not Good Hotel Dated

Beautiful property on the outskirts of Negombo in a very peaceful calm location. Perfect for resting after a long flight of from some quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the beach properties. There are only 5 rooms. We had room 2 which is a beautiful heritage room in the original house. Breakfast is delicious. Lovely varied menu. Dinner is also good but note that the prices here are in USD and pricier than in town. Few things I didn’t like so much 1. There is no driver or tuk tuks nearby so we had to reply on the unreliable uber app to get into town. It’s about 20 mins and between 600-1000 in a tuk tuk. 2. The water in the bathroom is scalding hot. I burned myself a little the first night so it would be good if the hotel could add a warning sign somewhere. 3. There are no suggested tours or guides from the property. It would be good if the hotel could perhaps have a few suggestions on hand to avoid trawling through Expedia, get your guide etc. other than this I think our stay was pretty perfect.

Fabulous room, very tastefully appointed, with a huge bed and good size en-suite shower room. The staff are, without exception, friendly helpful and obliging. The architecture is unusual, attractive and interesting, with a little bit of a safari lodge feel to it. The villa is a little bit remote but there is easy access to local facilities via taxi, or Tuk Tuk. Our only slight disappointment was the limited range of choice from the menu available in the evenings and the portions were sometimes less than might be expected. In summary, a fabulous place to relax for a few days among quiet surroundings and you may be lucky to have some interesting wildlife visitors.
