Very cozy Villa away from the crowd. The place is owned and run by a very nice couple . 11/10 customer service felt like a home . The owner even dropped me off to the railway station because it was very early in the morning . The breakfast is continental and quite good.

It was one of the most peaceful surroundings, kindest staff and even the food was brilliant. Rooms were huge, the pool is massive but the garden area was the best part of the property. 10/10 anyday.

I recently stayed at Pandanus Resort in Bentota Beach, Sri Lanka, and it was an incredible experience. Our room was upgraded to one with a private balcony and jacuzzi, offering a stunning beach view. The staff was amazing, providing exceptional service throughout our stay. The food was delicious, with a variety of options to choose from. The beach was super clean and beautiful, making our stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Pandanus Resort for anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway.

We enjoyed an exceptional stay. From the welcome by lively host, to the chefs preparing great lunch and breakfast to the spotless room. Sergeant house has been on our the best places we stayed at in Sri Lanka. It felt private, luxurious and romantic. Can’t recommend it enough!

The location of Uyana is perfect—peaceful with serene beaches and lush greenery, yet just 5 minutes away from the lively Ahangama town. This offered us the ideal blend of relaxation and access to local culture and activities. Additionally, Janaka and his team were extremely helpful, providing us with 5-star service that made our stay even more memorable.

Wow what a perfect stay. Great relaxing location with beach and pool steps away from each other. Room was massive and so comfortable Great AC.Great check in. Plentiful breakfast so much food. Drinks a bit pricey but strong and enjoyable. A big Thankyou to the best waiter in Unawatuna, Supun, who looked after us with 5 star service and genuine hospitality and friendliness. Well done Supun.
