An oasis of calm in the countryside! Lovely rooms, lovely pool area & a fantastic place to watch the jungle wildlife! The manager was super helpful too. The beach is a 40 min walk away, or a short tuk tuk ride.

fabulous service

Beautiful resort .Only 7 rooms so very serene and in effect in jungle .Perfect service from Lali and Harry who have very good English and couldn't have been more helpful . On the downside it is 2 miles from beach , the rooms that are double height have uninsulated roof and creatures ? nocturnal birds / lizards run round at night which kept me awake . I would suggest to owner putting in a false ceiling to dampen that noise and also cut the cost of AC by 50% ??

Superb

Thoroughly recommend these apartments. They are a 5 min ride away from the main beach. So lovely and peaceful. Perfect for couples or families. The gardens and surrounding area are beautifully kept. Swimming pool and sunbed area are spotless and maintained to the highest standard. Also the restaurant area and rooms are beautifully designed and again, kept spotlessly clean. Food was fantastic, really cant fault a thing. Fresh ingredients and the prawn dewal was stunning. Now on to the service, the manager and all of his team, and that includes everyone from the cleaner to the gardener are absolutely fantastic. The level of attention to your needs really are second to none. Nothing was too much trouble and the way they go about their work with a lovely friendly attitude really did top off a fantastic stay . Thanks to you all. If you want a peaceful stay surrounded by wonderful people then this place is for you.

Unfortunately we couldn't stay at Garcinia Leaf due to reservation problem. However hotel staff were being nice to find us another place (the address Hikka by Sithi Villas) instead. So overall we had a pleasant stay during our two days holiday despite the issue had initially. Support received from Garcinia Leaf is appreciated. Also we appreciate hotels.com fair policy as well.

Lovely!

Beautiful boutique hotel. Lovely rooms. Quick tuk tuk ride to the main road with loads of restaurants/bars as well as the main beach. The staffs English wasn't very good which made things a bit hard. But we still loved our stay!

A relaxing oasis

We experienced 4 relaxing days at this lovely oasis. The surroundings are beautiful with a lot of birds and other animals. 5 min with a tuk tuk to the beach in hikkaduwa. Remember to take a print screen of the adress. The staff is very service minded and helpful. A quiet and relaxing oasis away from the crowded Hikkaduwa.
