"The breakfast and dinner in the resort was really really good and good price value!! As well the kitebuddy station as family owned place highly recommended !! Unfortunately the bad plankets are uncomfy and feels like cheap plastic.

What verified guests said

"It has only six rooms, but they are well maintained and serviced. Extremely friendly staff. Great for a leisure stay, quiet and great Sri Lankan food (I understand western food is an option). Flexible menu if you give enough time for them to fetch crabs. I am considering another stay. This time I rented only two rooms, but more in the future. Excellent for a family outing. Well worth the money spent. Although the nearby beaches are not, the beach front of this property is well maintained."
