HIGHS
- Prime seaside location on one of Sri Lanka’s most undiscovered and sheltered beaches
- Beautiful, tranquil grounds (no traffic noise) and airy rooms
- Occasional yoga, tai chi and meditation courses are run in the spacious pavilion, whilst daily drop-in yoga classes and private tuition are usually available
- 20-metre swimming pool for the (rare) occasions when the beach is too rough
- Good quality restaurant serving fresh, unfussy fare (though not a huge variety)

LOWS
- The local staff, though friendly, can be inefficient - which is bewildering when you first arrive
- Limited mod cons: no in-room entertainment, phone or air-con, but there are ceiling fans and internet/phone at reception
- The open plan means that any barking dogs (and there are plenty) or noisy neighbours are very audible
- Not for anyone squeamish about insect life, due to the open-air bathrooms and open upstairs rooms
- Remote location - 4+ hours from Colombo, and no shopping or restaurants in walking distance
