From the owner

Welcome to The Pavilion.

We are a family run business and would love to welcome you to our villa. We have 3 double rooms (an extra bed can be added for children) each with an en suite, hot water and air-conditioning. We also have free wi-fi and an in house restaurant. We can supply BBQ and home made Sri Lankan curry and even chips and eggs, if you desire. Check out TripAdvisor for curry reviews, but if you want to cook yourself feel free to use the kitchen.

We are situated in a village setting at the top of a small hill, this means we have a light breeze to keep you cool. We have a pool which is safe for for children, as it has no deep end. We can even give you a towel to use free of charge as well as sunbeds and cold drinks. The villa is surrounded by a 6 foot wall and is very private so no one will be watching you taking a dip.

We have a small garden with a table and chairs, this is an ideal spot to have a drink while you watch the monkeys in the nearby trees. If you don't like monkeys, don't worry, they never come near the humans. You will also see chipmunks running along the telegraph wires, kingfishers and numerous birds. We even have a monitor who likes to climb our wall. All very entertaining.

A simple breakfast is included in the price, otherwise, you can order something more substantial for an extra charge. If you would like a full English Breakfast or curry breakfast please let Shashika know the night before.

Our manager, Shashika, can take you on tours of the surrounding area, order you motor bikes, surfing or just hire a tuk tuk for you to get the nearby beach at Unawatuna where there are numerous cafes and bars. Shashika has local knowledge and has a phone full of useful numbers. All you have to do is ask, from fire dances, temple visit, parties on the beach or any local events he's your man.

We can arrange an air-conditioned car for your trip to and from the airport.

Across the road from the villa is the Sri Yoga Shala and they run classes several times a day.

    Owner's reply:
    Dear Madam Having read your review I have again spoken to the manager who is also a shareholder, firstly lets get rid of the £10 deposit, at no time was any money taken from you for a deposit so I would advise you to retract your statement regarding that issue, you may have written this by accident and give you this opportunity to withdraw said statement. Secondly, your complaint regarding food, you requested curry for breakfast as in your words " western food is boring" I paraphrase. With regards to the tuk tuk issue, if you chose to use someone who gives you a cheaper price you will have to expect they are making their money elsewhere, this may be the reason why you were taken to expensive shops and restaurants, in particular the ones that charged you £8 for a meal. I have eaten along the beach and have paid on average around £4-6. Driver are routinely given commission from vendors, we tend to use reliable drivers that take us where we ask to be taken and not where they, the drivers feel like taking us to line their own pockets. On the issue of late check out, when I agreed to this I had mid afternoon in mind not the 11pm that you thought was reasonable, also with this in mind you did not request we look after your luggage which we would have done. What disappoints me even more is that you then departed from the villa while the manager was away from the premises, if you had paid a deposit would this not have been the time to request that it be returned, had you indeed paid it. On the subject of the dogs, you make it out as if the dogs are on the property, just to clarify this point, they are not on the property or indeed our dogs. I have also not mastered the art of getting dogs to be quiet and to stop barking, we clearly make every effort to have a cordial relationship with our neighbours but we have no control over their pets. I believe on one occasion a dog did get into the property but this was due to you leaving the gate open. You also mentioned cleanliness of the villa, the insects you mentioned might have been due to the uneaten fruit that you seemed comfortable to leave lying around and your reluctance to allow our partner to clean the villa, this might also be the reason that your breakfast was delayed as well, he cannot gain access to the kitchen through a locked gate. I our and other visitors experience they have never experienced the damp smell that you complained about, I also find this strange as the air conditioning unit was used during your stay and that would eliminate any damp smell. You are correct about the roof surface, it isn't completed to a smooth surface as yet, but this is also the reason that we do not encourage guests to go onto the roof if it has been raining, at least until the water has had the opportunity to drain off through the drainage holes, I do however agree that the sound of water draining off the roof can de distracting while sitting in the seating area, but cannot be heard from the bedrooms with the air con running. On the helpfulness of our manager, despite his young years he is committed to making our guests stay as pleasant as humanly possible as I am sure you can see from previous trip advisor reports. Did he not arrange for you to have massages at the villa, did he not also arrange for an alternate masseuse to come to the villa when you refused the services of the first one? Not exactly what I would call unhelpful. Did he not also stay with you one evening when you went out? I believe this meant that he got back at midnight because he would not leave you unaccompanied. I am sorry that you did not enjoy your vacation but I am pleased to be able to reply to your erroneous and hurtful review. Kind regards Murray Heslin, Audrey Knox and Shashika Akuressa
