Rock Pool Residence

The small house was amazing! It was a very nice place to stay. The host is an very kind man and he was very helpful with us to book activities. We had an amazing local breakfast, it was a huge portion and it was so delicious! The nature around the hotel is beautiful, we saw lots of birds, monkeys and lizard. We were welcomed with a coconut and it was just a perfect way to start the stay.

Nothing, everything was perfect!

Wonderful quiet location wake up everyday to beautiful bird song. The hosts were lovely and kind good breakfast and a lovely break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Couldn’t recommend it more we had a wonderful stay.

My biggest highlight of rock pool is the hospitality, as well as it's proximity (2 minute walk) to a deeply quiet beach. I was allowed to check in early and they welcomed me with a plate of home made new years sweets. The host is very kind and has a precocious 5 year old son (I found him cute but be aware he has a lot of energy). The room I had is the second floor room. It's recently renovated and spacious, though note there is no a/c and the wifi doesn't work in the room but it does work in the main building porch. As others have mentioned, breakfast (extra charge) is delicious and came with the biggest pot of tea I've ever had to myself. Try the Sri Lankan breakfast with string hoppers, coconut chutney, eggs and fresh fruit.

I did the turtle watch but I would confirm with him the price before. It was 4000 rupees and I also had to pay an admission fee when I got there. So ask him the price and if it includes all costs before going.

Nice place, beautiful and comfortable single room

The kitchen didn't have any equipment or basic ingredients. There was an old Ukrainian couple who apparently lived there for many months and took up all the space for their own. The owner was nice but hardly present and communication in English with him was only rudimentary possible
