A great hotel!!!
We spent 7 nights there.
The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They cooked large shrimp for us and took us to Marble Beach, for an additional fee, of course.
Breakfasts weren't very varied, but they were generous and filling.
The hired help, a tall young man, was very helpful with our baby, playing with him while we ate. He even asked to be held.
The girls who prepared our breakfast were also very sweet and kind.
Our room was on the third floor, and we had the entire veranda to ourselves. It was very convenient for playing with the baby, hanging up wet clothes, looking at the stars, or drinking morning coffee. My husband smoked.
The location is also good—third building from the beach. The beach is quite clean, much cleaner than in the tourist area of Uppuvelli.
There are plenty of fruit stalls and cafes nearby where locals eat—not as Instagrammable as tourist restaurants, but still delicious and three times cheaper.
Cons:
- There's no place to hang clothes in the room—no closet, no hooks, nothing to hang clothes on—we had a mountain of clothes in our suitcase and around it. We hung a lot of clothes on the veranda.
- There was always a pack of local stray dogs by the fence; they're harmless but noisy.
- There's no hot water. While it was cloudy, showering was uncomfortable, but it was fine later.
- The WiFi is poor; I had better reception on the veranda.
- There's no TV. It wasn't advertised, of course, but it was boring to wait out the midday sun without one.
We're unlikely to return here again due to the wide variety of hotels, but for less demanding travelers, the place is perfectly fine.
