Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. After exploring this beautiful Island, I was looking for a super cool place on the beach to chill with my daughter. She had to return and I found my family and stayed for my last week. The best part of an amazing trip is when you find your family 😀🍀😎 The place is very relaxing, Madura and his family will look after you and when you are cool you can experience real Sri Lanka life. The food was out of this world and I also got invited to the real local food and best company. Thanks for the most fantastic hospitality and inviting me in. The parties have been brilliant so the combination is perfect. Highly recommend!!!
