JH Villa

What a place. Our visit started as in went on with a very warm welcome from Sampath and Sandesha despite our very late arrival. I would describe this hotel as a haven. An excellent location just south of Galle (less than half an hour in a tuk tuk) and centrally located for lots of beaches and restaurants along the coast. With lush greenery surrounding the entire villas private terrace and birdseye views of the wildlife including monkeys leaping from tree to tree (and, crucially, not coming near the terrace itself). Everything from the rooms to the swimming pool to the beach to the delicious breakfasts was sublime. But what really made it special was the incredible team of staff.

Truly heaven! This boutique hotel within beautiful gardens has rooms in the main building. , 20 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Galle. Incredibly comfortable rooms, private movie terraces, and a large, enticing pool, gym, and spa. This was the highlight of our trip where we relaxed knowing we were in good hands. The JH team was truly amazing. They can't be better than this. The JH beach house was incredible and private for their client. Mouth-watering foods and outstanding service made our stay extra special. We will be back soon.

Oh my goodness! What a glorious place! We were the only guests and were greeted with a fresh coconut, and a garland of frangipan flowers. Swimming in the pool in the evening watching the flying foxes overhead was lovely. Gardens were beautiful though we didn't opt to play badminton or snooker in the portico! Our 4 roomed suite consisted bedroom with 4 poster, dining room/reception, bathroom/dressing room, and outdoor TV lounge and further eating area. Everything operated digitally from ipads. The General Manager Thushara Sampath was great. Experience, friendly and attentive throughout our stay. There was a fancy food menu with rich dishes, which for me was disappointing - I’d expected fresh and local, rather than fancy from the freezer, I guess it depends on what you prefer. We had an issue with a meal which the Manager sorted and provided recompense. Breakfasts were lovely, tea selections exquisite, and an extensive bar. Despite the evening meal issue, it detract from our overall enjoyment of this amazing place. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat, but would opt to eat out next time.
