Papaya Hikkaduwa

Lovely staff and owners. Beautiful setting and lovely old style villa. Cut open coconuts for us to drink by the pool. Was idyllic except for a few thunderstorms which were scary. Great little kitchenette with cooking on gas. Also big fridge which is hard to get. Such great value and everything thought of that you'd need.

Is rustic which means gaps in the door so we had some minor flooding one night after heavy rain and a few bugs. Would be nice if there had been a mozzie net to sleep easier. Bug spray was provided.

Mooi groot en netjes. Ook het zwembad was erg fijn.

Niks

Loved everything, Marie was an amazing hostess from offering me coffee in the morning to helping me with transportation to the airport (yes I made it thanks to the awesome driver). The shower was the best in a month of travels and the pool was the biggest and cleanest too, set around beautiful huge coconut trees. It is in a perfect spot as I imagine the places on the main road in a busy season would be hectic and it’s only a 5 minute lovely walk anyway into town and the beach. There is not many rooms so lovely and quiet. I can see why the rating is high

Nothing

Nice location within walking distance of the beach and shopping The pool was nice and kept clean.

It was very dated and the units and grounds need a good overhall. No tv in either of the rooms worke we tried. We ended up having to get an individual router to get WIFI which i needed for work. The only redeeming thing were the staff who were very pleasant but swimming up hill with trying to achieve customer satisfaction. So many broken/tired fascets down to the shower trays being cracked in both rooms,shower head falling off the wall,odd blue tape on the windows and doors making the rooms very dingy. Terribly cracked and uneven paths on the walkways making it dangerous. And the whole thing surrounded by a dirty swamp like pond and stream. I could go on but you get what I mean. You get the picture. Another couple complained so much they were given a room at their sister hotel the Eden Blue as they were equally dissatisfied.
