I really liked staying here especially the food. There's a nice jacuzzi in the swimming pool, which was very relaxing while looking at the wild monkeys jumping around in the trees. Also, yoga classes were offered both in the morning and evening almost every day, so I've never got bored without going out anywhere. One of the bad things about this place was I was overcharged at the souvenir shop right across the reception. I just bought a medicine that subscribed from the house doctor, but the shop assistant guy charged me 5 times more than it supposed to be. I had the credit card company to get the refund, but he submitted the false documents which stated things I've never bought. So if you hate fraud, be careful!

Service was very lacking, be it at front office or at restaurant. Quality and choice of food (breakfast, lunch, dinner) may be improved greatly!!!!! The many number of Staffs working at the beach restaurant more attentive - many stray cats around during meal time....which were a little "disruptive".... The only retail shop in the hotel needs A major clean-up! Dusty and filthy - uninviting to purchase anything :-(( Wished the manager/staffs working were more professional, welcoming and hospitable in providing a SERVICE.

I expected a luxury complex and was shocked to find an old tired looking place where external areas had peeling paint, large brown patches which should have been green grass - not the green oasis I had seen in photos. Inside the rooms had been renovated a few years ago but my ceiling fan wobbled and was too noisy to use at night and the aircon wasnt very cool. The waves are so strong I felt like I had been hit by a car and the undertow makes swimming dangerous. The food was good but not much variety from day to day. Dont stay here if you are after a hotel. Its better suited to people wanting ayurveda but thats an extra 135 USD a day for 2 hours treatment, lunch and medicine (which is very cheap to buy).

I had a really relaxing week here and was very impressed by the staff & their wonderful hospitality. I wanted a mix of treatments & exploring Sri Lanka & was able to do that here. Although I was travelling on my own I got to know other guests quickly & everyone was so warm & welcoming. My only slight fault about the hotel was that it is quite out of the way & you need a taxi to get anywhere but that's easy to sort out. I'd definitely recommend this hotel.

If you are looking for a true Ayurveda experience this is probably the right place for you, but if you are looking for Ayurveda services within a western style hotel this is not the right place. The location of the hotel is very remote, you cannot walk to any shops, restaurants or sights and the hotel taxi service is very expensive. The buffet meals in the main restaurant are not up to western standards, while it may not be a total surprise to find that the meat and fish dishes were badly cooked, I was surprised to find a lack of a good curry. Once again the buffet focused on the Ayurveda menu. Our disappointment was from the fact the hotel's website does identify itself as an Ayurveda spa, but it claims to have a western menu and to be close to amenities. Also it stated that Wi-Fi is available for a charge, but does not mention that you cannot get it in the rooms, and that it has a gym, which is actually a very small room with four cardio machines. As I said if you want a remote, peaceful spa experience it is probably a good place to go.
