Villas in Mahakumbukkadawala

"Our mattress was extremely uncomfortable with springs poking into our back. We asked for more towels due to insects creeping throught the gap from our front and patio doors- no one returned with them after front desk told us someone was on the way. Then we experienced plumbing issues after any usage of our tap from the bathroom sink led to leaking and ultimately flooding of water from the toilet. We also called the front desk and were told someone would come- no one arrived. Lastly our shower barely drained with a huge amount of water collecting with all of the dirt excreted from our bodies. It was disgusting. This hotel has soo much potential with such a beautiful location!!! My humble suggestion after staying in 3 other hotels during this one vacation is: 1. close or change the use of the first pool where only crows were observed using it 2. rethink your menu for buffets as less food but better quality would be spectacular 3. rethink your room service responsiveness 4. redo your rooms and update them to actually match images online and look more updated in general 5. rethink your shower design as a lot of water spills out without a deeper lip, shower curtain, or door."

"Beautiful location, quiet, sandy beach, large gardens and sea to swim in!All within walking distance. Take a tuk tuk to the local “high street”and choose your own fish for dinner cooked by a superb chef! Chill on the veranda watching the array of beautiful birds and knock down a coconut to mix your own cocktail! Sleep soundly under the mosquito nets and awake to the fabulous dawn chorus of the local birds and a flat Indian Ocean on your doorstep. Be pampered by your hosts who will arrange massages, trips and just welcome and make you feel at ease during your stay "

"Pleasant simple SriLankan accommodation. Family friendly and welcoming. Pancakes for breakfast were tasty. Room was simple and clean. Bathroom and toilet were basic. Reflecting price range this was good value for money. Very rural. Local fishing area with boats being pulled up on beach in front of accommodation "

"HR Solo traveller I visited the Sanctuary on the recommendation of a friend and thoroughly enjoyed my brief stay there. Great care and much thought has been given to the furnishings of the house. It has an extensive collection of books on wildlife and birds and I could have spent many hours browsing this collection. The food was delicious and I was looked after very well by Dula and his team. There is a good choice of excursions on offer, but I chose a half day tour to the Wilpattu National Park which is only about 30 minutes drive from the Sanctuary. Dula and his wife, Achini were my guides and they took a great deal of trouble to ensure that I had a memorable experience. We were fortunate to see leopard, elephants, sea eagles and much more. I will definitely return on my next visit to Sri Lanka. "
