“Tyvärr så verkar hotellet vara dåligt underhållet, handukarna var slitna och fläckiga, dynorna till solstolarna trasiga, trädgården dåligt skött, men det finns en god möjlighet att få det fantastiskt med en ny ägare.”
“Beautiful place next to the ocean. Comfortable, quiet and altogether very enjoyable stay run by lovely Sri Lankan family. Can't wait to come back, thank you.”
“The house was beautiful with wonderful sea views and very well kept and homely. Quality room. Location was mixed as very close to the blowhole attraction, one small Beach with coral and over longer bay with quiet waves; however it's a long way from a supermarket, bus stop or restaurant and up some rocky steps uphill which was difficult for my partner who was using crutches.
We enjoyed the food cooked by our host who was lovely but did not speak great English, and so there was confusion over……
“All View was a perfect stay for me. Clean, so friendly and the food is delicious. Just a walk to see turtles and a beach you can have all to yourself. Go enjoy!”
“We loved to stay this place, it was just perfect to us, there was 1min walk to the beach that was wide and not crowded. As the name "Natural cabanas" says, the nature was near and amazing, we saw monkeys, a little varan swimming in the garden's pond, fire flies, birds and even a porcupine! We took 2 extra nights becose we liked so much! The owner was a great personality ;) ”
"The accommodation is off-roads, 2-3 kms, needing a 4-wheeler drive (which the staff will pick you up on) to access. It is a bit remote, and takes a narrow dirt path, so I recommend arriving before dusk.
The rooms are cute & comfy. There are telephone networks in the property, so Internet isn't an issue.
While getting off the 4-wheeler safari jeep, I missed a step (my fault) and ended up spraining my ankle, hurting my ligament. My ankle was pretty swollen, and I needed help to hop to my cottage. I was pretty bummed out - but, the staff totally turned around the situation for me.
- Chamit and Nisal immediately got us ice & first aid to reduce the swelling.
- They arranged for me to see the nearest doctor (around 10 kms away). Chamit drove us to the doctor. The doctor didn't have an x-ray machine and Chamit drove us another 30 kms to the hospital with the nearest x-ray machine.
Thankfully, I didn't have a fracture and it was just a ligament tear. Chamit drove us back 40 kms to the cottage.
That night's dinner at our cottage was the best food I have ever eaten in Sri Lanka. I was able to go on the safari the next day and see peacocks, alligators, wild buffalos, monkeys, deers and leopard. The food packed by the staff for the trip was delicious.
This story would have been us being stuck in forest land with a swollen ankle not knowing what to do - I deeply owe it to Nisal, Dulaj & Chamit for their calm, patience, kindness & hospitality and being a source of strength! "
