Wir hatten hier einen wirklich wunderschönen Aufenthalt und haben uns von Anfang an sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Zimmer waren s
Die atemberaubende Aussicht von der Terrasse war für uns ganz klar das Highlight der Unterkunft. 😻🌴
Der Weg zur Unterkunft ist etwas steil und daher nicht unbedingt familienfreundlich. Für abenteuerlustige Paare ist er aber definitiv Teil des Erlebnisses und die Aussicht macht es absolut wert.

Ein kleines Paradies mit tollem Gastgeber und super Frühstück! Wir würden immer wieder kommen.
Leckeres, umfangreiches Frühstück, tolle Aussicht, man kann zum Turtle Beach & Dellawella Beach laufen, toller Host (Lara spricht super Englisch und nimmt sich Zeit für seine Gäste), gute Ausstattung, morgens konnten wir in der Ferne Affen in den Bäumen beobachten
Nichts!

Great place! Amazing views, clean, nicest staff, and great breakfast. Would come again for sure!
While the location is great in the sense that you are on top of a hill with an amazing view, it is a bit tedious to go to town. But a tuktuk is not too expensive, so it wasn't the biggest issue for us.

Buena estancia en Udawale
Las vistas al mar
El acceso, estaba un poco lejos y empinado
