Whisky resort is utterly beautiful..this somewhat remote ,peaceful utterly gorgeous spot. Where you can't stop taking photos! We stayed for 10 nights which we was longer than most, probably people visit for a few days which probably would be best. We took a long taxi to get here fome colombo! Took us 8 hours. Arranged by the resort which was very helpful and efficient. The cabanas - we took a risk with no air con as the fans and sea breeze we thought would be sufficient, unfortunately it was sweltering hot. We had a lower cabana which doesn't have ceiling fans but has the standing fans...it was so so hot that sleep was difficult.. this heat is nothing the resort can do about of course and I understand and agree with the owner that air con isn't good for the planet ..so I totally get it. But its important to note how hot we felt in case this will be an issue for you..it was for us and did affect our enjoyment. I ended up with a heat rash half way through the holiday!:( This said Anna was SO accommodating and moved us to an upper cabana when they were free, she did this without charge and we definitely felt cooler in an upper cabana as they have ceiling fans and higher ceilings.. so I'd recommend if going when hot to book an upper cabana..plus the view is nicer and feels more private. They also gave us an extra fan to help. The cabanas are comfy though, beds were nice comfy pillows, kept very clean and a nice bathroom:) The beach is completely deserted, so our walks were usually just us..in paradise. Important to add..the waves in the sea, it is a surf point of course, are powerful so you can't swim or float..you can jump about in the waves which is fun just is quite tiring ha ha as you can't relax as such. ;) It's great breakfast is included and it's tasty..the menu is mainly Italian and its OK, some of the dishes are a little strange in flavour and personally I didn't think all worked and we really really would have loved more local food. We had sri lankan curry one night and it was fantastic! But then the chef didn't want to cook it again:( I think this is a real shame..as its lots of pizza and pasta. The pizzas are amazing though ..the best pizza I've ever tasted. But we were dissapointed we only got sri lankan food once at thw resort. But I guess for those travelling around Sri Lanka it's a lovely great If they've only been eating sri lankan. The staff are incredible here...Harry and the other man who worked in the evening with him plus the man who cleaned the rooms..everyone was so kind, so polite, such helpful joyful people and we absolutely loved their company and help. They work really hard and can't do enough for you. Harry you're wonderful! Nicola the owner is great, really interesting to talk to, helpful and a real passion for the paradise he's created. Anna is also very very helpful and kind..and runs lovely yoga classes. I'd add that I wish we'd been told about the mediation schedule when we arrived as w
