- "Stunning views and amazing staff" - "With a stunning view, this property took my expectations to a new level! Located in a quiet area beside the lake, I enjoyed the peaceful and quiet surroundings! Modern but not landscape changing the Hotel is placed in the hill by the lake. Staff and owners are always there for you to help if anything is needed! Thx to all of them! 🙏🏻 At my next stay, I definitely will come again!" - "From the moment we arrived at this hidden gem until the last we were treated like royalty. Niroshwan, Lakshmi and all the staff were so nice, they went above and beyond to make our stay even more special. Their culinary skills were amazing and the taste and quality of the food was exceptional with many options to choose from. The room was very spacious, clean and had everything we needed from ensuite shower room, fresh linen, a safe and fridge to mention a few. The lake view from inside our room and balcony is breathtaking and Neroshwan was so kind to arrange a boat safari where we enjoyed observing the many local wildlife. We walked in to the town which was quite a pleasant 20 minute walk and were greeted along the way many times by the friendly locals, we felt very safe on route. The hotel wasn't overly expensive but still felt like we should be paying much more for the quality and service that we received. It was worth every rupee. I would strongly advise anyone travelling to Sri Lanka to consider travelling down the coast and stay at this beautiful resort, you will not be disappointed. We sincerely wish Niroswan, Lakshmi and family all of the luck in the future. We will not forget this place and have plenty of amazing photos and memories to look back on. We can't thank them enough for the happiness, their generocity and this whole wonderful experience."

- "This hotel is heavenly. It is right on the most perfect beach and surrounded by trees and the occasional wild life. The rooms are large, luxurious and have large private gardens. The staff are well trained with the aim of providing a perfect holiday experience. This was the last of six hotels that we stayed at across Sri Lanka and was by far the best. The chef produced exceptional dishes and reasonably priced. We felt very cared for at Sundara. Thank you."

- "Kumu Beach is a cosy boutique hotel, which is mell managed by exceptional staff. The food was excellent and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The hotel premises are well maintained, with a lovely garden and excellent swimming pool." - "Amazing resort, with wonderful, big, green property next to the amazing beach. Garden is quite spacious, with the open view of the ocean and sunsets. Lounge chaies are spread around the gardens, so you can enjoy the conversations with your fellow guests, or choose the remote corners for the peace and tranquility and enjoying sound of waves on your own, or with your partner. The pool is very large, and never crowded, as this 10-room resort offers plenty of space to make you feel very comfortable. If resort is full, make sure to get the lounge chair early, but if you are not there all the time, you can finnd your stuff moved away by some rude guest. Beach so beautiful, as it breaks the monotony of the long beach with massive boulders right in front of resort. Rooms are very nice, but lower priced rooms are little bit smaller than expected. Nevertheless, the bathroom is wonderful and spacious and both are very well designed. One thing that is missing in those rooms is privacy of the balcony. Breakfast is wonderful starting with the fruit platter, bakery basket and then a-la-carte option, which is second to none, with local and international variety. Dinner menu is not huge, but with well chosen dishes and affordable. Definitely a place to visit again."
