    Went to its restaurant by the sea. Rustic themed interior and outdoor by the sea are the seating options available. Tasty food and very helpful service by the staff. Good place to observe the beautiful sunset.

    No value for money. Ordered a mixed grill and none of the meat items were grilled. The beef and pork were shredded and deep fried so that one couldn't say which was beef n which was pork. Very disappointed.

    Just visited the restaurant for dinner. Nice ambiance with seating on and off the beach. The grilled fish served is fresh and the Tomyum soup one of the best I've had in Colombo...very spicy!! They have z Thai chef so, the food is pretty good in general.

    The atmosphere was pleasant, and the meal was delicious. It is close to the railway. As far as I know, parking is a public facility and costs Rs. 100. The beach was spotless, with no odors or any complaints. There are both patio and inside dining options. Overall, a pleasant experience. One star drops because of the shady looking access to the hotel.

    We went to the cafe at the beach and had the Tuna Grill it was very good. They got the fresh sea food so you have the chance to select what you want. Didn't like the cuttlefish so much: salad was another great side dish and happy with that. If you need Beer you can buy from next door so that's taken care. Prices are very reasonable too: staff was very helpful and knew exactly what we need.

    Before finishing, the food waiter is collecting the food without asking. The seafood dish was superb. Fried rice is not good as in other restaurants. But the place is nice with the sea view. You can hang out for hours and hours without knowing. Kinda recommend hanging out with friends without with discussing memories and all.

  • 5/5 Narelle p. 3 years ago on Google
    Honestly the best food available on the beachside within Colombo. The portions are worth your money. Quick service by waiters. Try the banana split and the hot butter cuttlefish you will love it. Highly recommended place to spend the weekend at the beachside or a breezy night by the beach.

  • 4/5 Dayani A. 3 years ago on Google

    Reasonable price, good food but little too hot for even some locals. Friendly staff and ample parking is available. Good ambiance if you enjoy the sea. Budget is less than $10 per person including beer and snacks.

    Waited there for 2 hours. The food we ordered for never showed up. You would probably learn to cook your food, cook it on your own and eat it faster.

  • 5/5 Юлия �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I really liked. The hotel consists of two buildings located opposite each other. In the second building was only in the hall. I think it has an elevator and a restaurant. And our building looked like an ancient castle. Perhaps he was. There are only 2 or 3 rooms in the building. Ours consisted of a huge bedroom with a four-poster bed, a single bed and a sofa. Huge, high ceilings, just like in a castle. Large balcony. In addition to the bedroom, we had a large kitchen-dining room with everything you need - a cooking stove, refrigerator, table and even a piano The whole hotel cannot be described, and I even saw negative reviews related precisely to the old age of the hotel. But it is precisely this old age ... No, it is vintage that makes the hotel unique, imbued with the spirit of antiquity. We had breakfast included. Before that, in hikkaduwa, breakfast was in the form of a buffet and quite varied. Here breakfast all two weeks consisted of scrambled eggs, 2 sausages and toast with butter and jam. Additive or what variety is not provided. But we easily put up with this, since Sri Lanka is the country where the availability of food on the tour does not matter. It should be noted that breakfast can be delivered to your room at your request. There is a railway between the hotel and the beach, which embarrassed me when purchasing the tour. But there was no discomfort from her, the noise of the trains did not come, and it was not a problem to let the train pass if necessary. When choosing a hotel, I was guided by the fact that it is located near Colombo (airport), since it had been 4 hours to Hikkaduwa before. By the way, the central street with supermarkets (with fixed prices), other shops, cafes is nearby. There are also many cafes on the beach. Literally in the neighboring hotel there is a SPA, Ayurveda. We were alone in the pool (a bit separate from the hotel). And in general - a thrill for an introvert. We liked everything. (Original) Мне понравилось очень. Отель состоит из двух корпусов, расположенных друг напротив друга. Во втором корпусе была только в холле. По-моему, там есть лифт и ресторан. А наш корпус был похож на древний замок. Возможно, он таковым и являлся. В корпусе всего 2 или 3 номера. Наш состоял из огромной спальни с кроватью с пологом, односпальной кроватью и диваном. Огромные, высокие потолки именно, как в замке. Большой балкон. Помимо спальни, у нас была большая кухня-столовая со всем необходимым - плита для готовки, холодильник, стол и даже пианино Весь отель не описать, и я даже видела отрицательные отзывы, связанные как раз-таки со старостью отеля. Но именно эта старость...Нет, это винтажность и делает отель неповторимым, пропитанным духом старины. У нас были включены завтраки. До того в хиккадуве завтрак был в виде шведского стола и вполне разнообразен. Здесь завтрак все две недели стандартно состоял из яичницы, 2 сосисок и тостов с маслом и джемом. Добавка или какое разнообразие не предусмотрены. Но мы легко с этим мирились, поскольку Шри-Ланка - та страна, где наличие питания в туре не имеет значения. Надо отметить, что завтрак может быть доставлен в номер по вашему желанию. Между отелем и пляжем проходит железная дорога, которая при приобретении тура смутила. Но дискомфорта от нее не было, шум поездов не доносился, а пропустить при необходимости поезд - не проблема. При выборе отеля руководствовалась тем, что он находится недалеко от Коломбо (аэропорта), поскольку до этого в хиккадуву ехали 4 часа. Кстати, центральная улица с супермаркетами (с фиксированными ценами), другими магазинами, кафешками, находится близко. При этом кафе много и на пляже. Буквально в соседнем отеле есть SPA, аюрведа. В бассейне (он немного отдельно от отеля) были мы одни. А общем - кайф для интроверта. Нам понравилось все.

    Great place! Excellent customer service! Superb food! Enjoyed every bit of it for a dinner by the beach with my family. Their mouthwatering Thai red fish curry was the best. Hope to come again!!!

    Extremely bad service. They dont let women wear fully covered proper nylon swimwear to the pool. But they let other women wear Normal cotton t-shirts n shorts to the pool. Quite funny the way they maintain pool rules . They have to work on it.
