Disappointing stay at Amara White Villa
We stayed at Amara White Villa on October 19, 2025, and unfortunately, it didn’t meet our expectations. The rooms were quite small, leaving little room to move, and the furniture quality was lacking — it felt more like staying in a regular home than a hotel. In fact, my own bedroom at home is better furnished. For a triple room, only three 500 ml water bottles were provided, and when we requested an extra one, they charged us Rs. 200, despite the MRP being only Rs. 70. This felt unreasonable. We also noticed a lack of proper pest control, as we encountered cockroaches in the bathroom. The food was quite basic; for dinner, we were served soup, spring rolls, and a choice between cheese seafood pasta or Mongolian rice. Breakfast featured a small buffet with Sri Lankan dishes, but the main curries were limited to dhal and chicken. We chose this hotel primarily for the stunning sea views depicted in the photos, hoping for a pleasant beachfront experience. Sadly, the reality was disappointing. One side of the property offered a nice view of the sea, but swimming there wasn’t possible. The other side had a beach that was neither clean nor appealing for bathing. Additionally, the so-called “natural pool” mentioned in their description was not accessible. Therefore, if you're hoping for a place to enjoy a sea bath, this isn’t the right spot. In summary, it didn’t provide good value for money. While the property has potential, it’s poorly managed, and everything felt subpar. You can certainly find a better option for the same price.
