"Actually with GOOGLE MAPS GPS , it was difficult to locate the place but lucky we asked someone who happened to work there and we followed him. Location nice..rooms very big high ceilings... Good lighting except for the bathroom which needs some lighting by the mirror for shaving. View magnificent and Saman the Manager was very friendly and liked my pictures I took there. Probably one of the nicest places I stayed in Sri Lanka. They are building a nice swimming pool ..will be for next time.....

9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (6)
"We loved this accommodation. It was the best of all the places we stayed in Sri Lanka. The accommodation is unique, new and spotless clean. The staff were amazing and very helpful with anything we required, and the location was perfect. If you want to experience holidaying in a village, then this is the place. Tourism is minimal here, so you get to see the real thing. We hired a couple of scooters, as the area was quite safe to ride, with very few vehicles on the roads. It was nice to roam...

Luxury Beach Side Villa - private beach, outstanding exclusive chef and staff

"This was a wonderful spacious villa on a beautiful beach half way up the peninsula, away from everything. And that was heaven for us. Nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful couple looking after us. Sisara was a fantastic host and made sure everything ran so so s monthly. And Indrani is a great chef and we were so indulged with wonderful Sri Lankan food, salads and seafood. I simply can’t recommend this villa highly enough. There is a lovely green with a carp pond and bridge over it, a...

Melheim Beach
3.5 star property
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (2)
"It has only six rooms, but they are well maintained and serviced. Extremely friendly staff. Great for a leisure stay, quiet and great Sri Lankan food (I understand western food is an option). Flexible menu if you give enough time for them to fetch crabs. I am considering another stay. This time I rented only two rooms, but more in the future. Excellent for a family outing. Well worth the money spent. Although the nearby beaches are not, the beach front of this property is well maintained."

"Un bel établissement, situé face à la mer mais sans possibilité de baignade à proximité (sauf piscine). Le personnel est très gentil, le cadre sympathique malgré le surplomb d'éoliennes assez bruyantes. Un joli paradis avec peu de choses à faire autour. Le tarif des repas est exorbitant pour le pays, passez votre chemin."

"Wir hatten einen 4-Bett-Raum für 20$ die Nacht gebucht (4Nächte). Als wir ankamen hat man uns erzählt dass sie nicht wüssten wie wir diesen Raum für dieses Geld gebucht haben konnten weil er eig. 44$ kostet (nicht unser Problem). Als wir in das Zimmer kamen totale Katastrophe: Bretterbude vom Feinsten. Überall ist der Wind zwischen gezogen, das Bad sah nicht besser aus. Abgeschlossen wurde mit einem Vorhängeschloss... Wir haben noch am selben Tag gefragt ob wir den Raum wechseln und nur 2 Nächte...
