Hotel itself was very nice. It is clean, the rooms are big enough. The breakfast is very nice. The Pool is clean, and good to use and it is very close to the beach!. so... all positive. however.. We would arrive at 07:00 hours in the morning. Because of that we booked the room the night before (as you can image, if you have to travel for 20+ hours you do not want to wait until 2 PM). Once we arrived, we heard the hotel had a no show. Please confirm your no show on booking.com reservation as Lucky Elephant already have acknowledged a no show to booking.com. Initially we did not want to do this, as this has been booked via Booking.com. But as it was a no show we eventually did say no show to booking.com.
However... the day we have missed (the no show day) was still part of the bill. (we found out later) therefore this not so good review. please watch out with the tricks this hotel is applying to guest. even if you have been awake for more than 24 hours...
Also.. if you have cocktails or other drinks... the delivery costs of 10% are not made clear upfront or noted at all.
So to keep things short.. nice hotel.. but if they can ripe you they will.
Excellent service. Very clean and tidy. Family friendly atmosphere. We stayed here 3 days and we feel like a part of the community. Strongly recommend.
One of the best hotels we have stayed during our trip in Sri Lanka. The hotel is clean, modern and has direct access to the beach. The artwork and decoration are simple yet sophisticated. The food at the restaurant are delicious. The staff are the highlight. They are genuinely nice, honest and so helpful. Highly recommend this hotel!!
Outstanding hotel. We got the suite for $100 a night. The room was excellent, comfortable bed, large bathroom, huge balcony overlooking the beach. WiFi was a bit spotty.
Service was friendly and prompt. Food was acceptable but nothing to write home about. Good pool and beach lounge area. Only thing with the beach is that everyone warns about the danger of the water; it is extremely rough and the currents are powerful. You don’t see anybody in the water deeper than their ankles.
As of June 2019, this whole town seemed virtually deserted. We were the only ones in he hotel. Walking down empty streets with most shops, hotels and restaurants closed. The occasional tourist here or there was more the exception.
