Whilst the hotel is a little tired and need of a makeover, it is great value for money. The included breakfast was excellent and we had dinner there 2 nights, it was good and not expensive. The staff are excellent and always ready to please. The rooms are fair, the beds are actually quite comfortable and mosquito nets and air con are provided. The balcony views are amazing and the pool is perfectly situated over the cliff. We could hang around here all day and not bother to leave. A great location for surfers and you can paddle straight into the ocean from the hotel. The surf was small and would suits beginners. There is a surf school on the beach nearby. It is just a quick tuktuk ride into Galle to explore the beautiful fort and historical sites. Highly recommend if your not too fussy.
