Very large hotel complex. Modern and large rooms with sea views. The spa area is great (very authentic and professional, OK price-wise). The food was OK (large selection, but unfortunately everything was cold). The beach is nice, but since there is a (dead) reef right in front of it with lots of dead stone corals, you can't swim there (you can't walk there without bathing shoes - risk of injury!!!). Best to walk 100 m to the left to the public beach (there are no stone corals there and swimming is possible) or 10 minutes walk to Kalkudah Bay/the opposite bay (there is a dream beach there)

What an amazing hotel with excellent facilities and fantastic pool! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The highlight was enjoying sundown drinks at the bar. ———————————————————————
We stayed at this wonderful hotel from 13th to 16th August. We received the warmest of Sri Lankan welcomes; followed by refreshing juice, a sweet treat and cold flannels, much appreciated after a long drive. We checked into rooms 14 and 16, both extremely spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. They were maintained this way for the whole of our stay by house keepers Thulan and Lakumal. The whole property is beautiful and extremely well maintained, throughout. The restaurant here is superb! I met with the chef to discuss our requirements as a family of vegetations and one of us with a food allergy. We were incredibly well catered for and accommodated in respect of this. The buffet breakfast and dinner offered plenty of choices, the presentation and maintenance of the foods offered was exceptional. Regrettably we didn’t actually take any pictures of the restaurant as we were too busy tucking in. Thank you so much to all of the restaurant and chef teams in particular Keven, Tharusha, Saman, Sujeewa and the head chef himself. We had plenty of time to relax and enjoy swimming in the pool and incredibly warm sea. We also enjoyed renting the bikes here; one bike ride just the four of us and another with Dinusha who kindly accompanied us on a tour of the local village so we could learn more about life here. Dinusha was incredible kind and patient, we learnt much during our few hours with him. We definitely recommend this experience to learn about real life here in Pasikudha. Thank you so much to the lovely gentleman with glasses at the front desk, I didn’t make a note of his name but he was so kind and answered all of our many questions during our stay. The manager Mr Morais, is always around and checking in with guests and ensuring a smooth running of the hotel, it was refreshing to see such a hands on approach by a manager, he was a pleasure to chat to. I had a reflexology treatment with Dewi in the spa it was a lovely experience from start to finish and I felt so incredibly relaxed afterwards. All in all we had a perfect few days at the wonderful Uga bay. We are already planning to return to Sri Lanka next summer and will definitely be adding a stop here as part of our itinerary. You have a fabulous team here, thank you so much to all of you for taking such good care of us, we cant wait to come back.
Special appreciation for the staff , specially the manager shalithe who took a good card of us. We went there during long weekend , since we made our reservation, the team called us and asked us about our requirements, that is the first place where they made the impression. From the checking to check out everything was perfect.
ゲゲストEl personal del hotel muy amable. Nos atendieron cuando necesitabamos (aunque fuesen las 6:30 de la mañana) y siempre muy amablemente. La piscina estaba bien pero el agua muy caliente. En cuanto al resto de instalaciones, la habitación estaba bien y el baño pequeño pero bien. La sala de estar también bien.
Best thing about the hotel is the location. Nature lovers and people who like peaceful places must book this hotel only. And book it on full moon night. You will never regret. It will be a lifetime experience. Extremely extremely fantabulous moonlit night stay it will be for the nature loving people. Totally satisfied with the hotel stay. Clean rooms , Clean bathroom with bath tub , clean swimming pool , Moonlit beach experience. Beach is just 5 steps away from the hotel. Everything about the hotel is just 10/10. The staffs will make sure that you enjoy your stay completely. Babu supervisor , Ajeeth manager , Pavi cook + auto driver , Neroshan helper , Darshini and Ronshini cleaners..all of them did an amazing job to make our stay enjoyable. All of them are very very helpful , cooperative, supportive and hospitable. 10/10 Pavi makes very delicious food for the guest. Indian, Sri Lankan, English breakfast options are available. A la carte menu is available for lunch dinner snacks. Alcoholic drinks are also available. Food quantity is more than enough. One person cannot finish the food, they give huge quantity. We witnessed fresh fish buying from the beach fishermen. You may buy fresh fish from there and ask the restaurant staff to cook it for you. No disturbance, Only Peace and Enjoyment.
