"Quiet family hotel. There are no activities near the hotel."

"We booked our trip several months ago, whilst waiting for our trip to start we saw the latest review that left us quite apprehensive. Firstly any issues that may have occurred regarding the dining experience was not visible and the food at the Habitat was a sheer delight! So from what I saw any criticism was listened to and procedures were put in place to fix the issues. As an ex duty manager of a 5 star hotel in the UK and an ex Chef for a Master Chef of Great Britain I can honestly say this hotel goes above and beyond for their guests and it was consistant. THE HOTEL AND GROUNDS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 Stars) The hotel is situated south of the Island in a sleepy town right on the beach literally a stones throw away from the waves and wildlife. There is a train station approximately 4 minutes away walking and no you can't hear the trains due to the sound of the waves so incase you require public transport i thought best to tell you as you wouldn't know. The hotel is kept in excellent condition and even cleansed with burning Sage by the staff and have all the necessary facilities (even a gym, basic but there if needed). We used the Spa which was easy to book relaxing and done in a professional manner. The hotel room was very comfortable, perfectly air-conditioned, cleaned immaculately and had a beautiful view of the ocean waves and palm trees. The swimming pool was spotless, no leaves or debris and the local dragon flies are constantly removing any mosquitos or unwanted pests free of charge. The hotel is also manned by security at the entrance and by the beach. You can watch the sunsets on the beach every evening as its facing towards the west. Also the local children fly their kites on the beach and there are a treasure trove of seashells to collect. STAFF AND CUSTOMER SERVICE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 Stars) As previously mentioned I have a great deal of experience in the hospitality industry and trust me you won't be let down. Checking in was done with ease, they sit you down in the foyer with wet refreshing hand towels and a welcome drink, take your passports and return them once everything has been completed, no questions no standing around. Everyone that works at the hotel is smiling and will always greet you and personally I think this is due to how the hotel is run. On our first night I saw after the guests had eaten in the restaurant the general manager sits down with the staff and eat together which is a clear indication of respect and being a team. I was greeted on the first day by "Bob" the local fixer for excursions, he was calm not pushy and had a great deal of knowledge on what to do and was happy to cater to our needs. Not only did he arrange 3 amazing trips he helped me propose to my partner which was without doubt perfect. Bob arranged for us to go to the local sea turtle sanctuary and then had 2 sea turtles ready to be released brought back to the beach at the hotel so my partner and I could release them before the surprise proposal!

"We’ve just completed our stay at The Pleasure Kosgoda. The staff made our experience here amazing! This quiet and peaceful hotel met our every expectation. The food was wonderful and the views are spectacular. We will be back! Thank you for making our stay memorable."

"We spent 6 days at Villa Saffron & Blue with two families (4 children). The villa is beautiful, tastefully decorated, and perfect for a group like ours. The manager and staff were very kind and always helpful. The food prepared on-site by chef Chaminda Samansiri was delicious. We wholeheartedly recommend this place — our stay was simply perfect. Special thanks to Naveen and Kumudu for a wonderful stay."

I must give a massive thank you to the residents tuk tuk driver Nisanter he’s a breath of fresh air I wish the world had more people like him and it would be a better place."
