Located in southern part of Sri Lanka rating as a 4 star hotel overall. The food was excellent and staff was very friendly and caring. Specially Mr. Sanath who looked after our meals was super helpful and he always wanted to give us the best possible. Unfortunately we caught up in few rainy days but there is a nice atmosphere to hang around outside. Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for a better experience.

We enjoyed our stay at ekho surf. But there were so many issues even though we didn’t want to keep complaining but just enjoy our stay. The service was average we needed alot of things for example their were no towels or rugs in the bathroom. The AC wasn’t working properly at all and the room was pretty hot. Also the food was average the spread could have been much better for what we paid for and they don’t fill up when the food runs out sometimes you get only the left overs which is pretty bad. The staff and the management could definitely do better and the place is not maintained at all. But overall we did enjoy somehow with all of these. Ms. Malshi at the reception was helpful though the rest could do better and be quick.
