We have stayed here before and would definitely stay again .I would have no hesitation in recommending this Resort
Killer location, and a perfectly nice, if basic, hotel right on Dikwella Beach. Clean, comfortable, and unfussy rooms, most with views of the ocean, which is just across the street. Not much in the way of a restaurant, but plenty of local options right on its doorstep. Lovely pool. Nice staff, if a little absentee. So-so WiFi.
Highly recommended ă
Lovely place to stay.Room is very clean.great Resort.
superb food and wonderful sea view location , Breakfast nice. fruit plate for breakfast very niceăbreakfast Mango fresh juice so delicious ăNice pool good airconditioner ,nice hot water bath tub . great staff ,Really enjoyed it ăwe are come again
It felt like no one had stayed in this hotel for years and we were the only guests. There were SO many bugs and it was just a very weird experience. We left 2 days early.
Deceiving photos showing the property as being at the beach front, In fact there is a very busy road in front and you step straight on it through the gates (not the gated walkway but carâs gate). This place should never be called a resort it is a 2 star hotel at best. All toilets are very smelly and the family suite only has on a/c for 2 sizeable and very dated rooms. Avoid unless desperate and no other properties are available in the area.

Would not recommend staying here at all. There was such a weird vibe at the hotel with the staff. The rooms are extremely dirty - and have a horrible drain smell. When asked if we wanted our room cleaned they said we would have to be there to use our key as they donât accept responsibility for staff going in without you being present. This gave us issues about leaving anything at any time. Further, every morning the staff downstairs blast their music from 8am to the point you canât hear your own conversations. Overall really poor experience.
Beautiful location, clean rooms, seaview and beachview from the room and balcony. Best value for money, and extremely friendly staff. They arranget the best prices on the beach for scooter rental, and they reduced the price for brekfast by 90%. I did encounter a broken window that wouldnt close. But their extremely handy staff fixed in in a minute, with a big smile on their face! The hotel is suitable for both families, couples and friends. I really want to come back here.
Appalling service from staff. I confirmed that I wished to stay another night and was told the price and it was no problem. I tried to pay but was told to pay at checkout. Then in the morning they refused this saying as I had not paid yet they did not need to honour this. Ants all through the room and dirty sheets!

Heel vriendelijk personeel
Kamer is wat gedateerd maar prima, heerlijk balkon met uitzicht op zee.
Enige minpunt is douchen in het bad wat van te voren niet bekend gemaakt was en de laatste drie dagen geen warm water.
Hotellet Àr inte sÄ som det ser ut pÄ bilder. Det Àr nedgÄnget och slitet. Det var fullt med insikter pÄ rummet, kröp myror i sÀngen. Vi sa till och önskade ett nytt rum eller pengarna tillbaka. Kollade pÄ ett nytt rum och dÀr var det kackerlackor i badrummet. Vi checkade ut efter första natten av tre bokade, fick ingen Äterbetalning. Poolen Àr ok men solsÀngarna Àr slitna och det finns ingen dyna att ligga pÄ. Det stÄr skyltar överallt om att hotellet inte ansvarar för stöld av vÀrdesaker vid stÀdning av rummet, de ansvarar ej för missfÀrgning av klÀder som lÀmnats till tvÀtt, du ska betala om nÄgot gÄr sönder etc. Bara vÀldigt speciellt och kÀndes vÀldigt otryggt.
Positives:
+ ocean view
+ big and clean swimming pool
+ spacious rooms with balconies
+ beach front location
Negatives:
- unfriendly management
- very slow service in restaurant (unable to serve group of 12)
- food overpriced 2 times to compare to its quality and portion size
- need maintenance and cleaning everywhere
- do heavy repairs in some rooms while others are occupied
- sewage runoff in bathrooms
- no benches in room to put luggage on, must leave it on the floor, later there were ants in
- add 15% VAT and 10% service charges above prices mentioned in menu, without any pre-notices
I regret my choice to stay in this hotel, especially with larger group.

Very Disappointed!!
This hotel has a lot going for it but under current management it definitely wonât succeed.
The manager just walks around, never actually doing anything & if asked something never really knew the answer
It has a lovely looking bathroom but the water pressure is so bad it took almost an hour to half full the bath......then I gave up.
They advertise a âmini barâ thereâs NO mini bar, there is a small fridge & tea & coffee making facilities. Actually I donât recall the restaurant being licensed either.
The $6USD breakfast ( that you have to order on checkin) is a joke, 3 tiny chipolatas, 3 potato wedges, 2 small tomato slices, eggs didnât even half full the plate. Did get toast & fruit but itâs an absolute rip off.
The pool closes at 7pm, there is a beach opposite which you can swim at all day but at dark ( when itâs still 30 plus degrees) you can only look at the pool because itâs closed.
The beach is right out the front of the hotel itâs a nice beach but there is a dirty, smelly patch of water on the sand ( drain?) that you have to walk past.
There are sun loungers on the beach outside the hotel ( but arenât operated by the hotel) so you have to pay to use them) a hotel in this price range should provide them.
The internet is appalling, it took almost 3 hours on our arrival to get a connection & that kept dropping out.
Our entire stay was a complete disappointment.
After one night we walked 500m or so down the beach where we luckily found the âMadu Friendly Villa â
