Romaya Villa

The property is set up and maintained beautifully, away from the main hustle and bustle of the main street. For me, a born and bred city girl, the best thing was how close it felt to the nature - I would just sit by the pool in the afternoon, and listen to the birds singing in the trees. The breakfast was to die for and there's a lot of it! Don't know what's the last time I've had so much fruit... They also serve tea/coffee in the afternoon - a nice touch. Staff are lovely and very helpful, we did have a slight hiccup in communication once, but they more than made up for it later. We stayed in the deluxe triple room, which is one of the two units in the villa, separate from the larger building. It is just by the pool and feels quiet and secluded. The pool itself is very nice!

The only thing is the location - you do need a tuk-tuk to get around. That said, usually staff are available to give you a lift to the beach or to a restaurant, and plenty of tuktuks are available for the way back. For good food options its best to travel to Unawatuna.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beutiful villa. The place, the staff, the food... everything was absolutely amazing. Hope to come back soon!
