“What struck me most was the sincere hospitality; it elevates a simple beach stay into something truly memorable. The location puts you steps from the sand and within easy reach of both Unawatuna's restaurants and Galle's historic sites. With clean, comfortable rooms and authentic Sri Lankan home-style cuisine, it is an ideal choice for families or anyone wanting a genuine taste of the island.”
