Stayed at the Green Parrot Villa for 2 weeks. It has 2 en suite double bedrooms, open plan dining, sitting area and kitchen. Additionally there is a TV area and a covered terrace overlooking the garden and the sea.
The villa is secluded within a beautiful lawned garden and coconut trees. The living areas combine luxury with a touch of Sri Lankan charm in the kitchen and bathrooms.
There is a team of 3 staff that serve the villa 24 hours a day. 2 ladies throughout the day serve a wonderful breakfast, clean, wash and iron for you at no additional cost. They can also provide any food from the menu throughout the day and evening, at an additional, but nominal cost. The food is truly amazing. Curry and rice is fantastic as is the chicken with kankun (kind of spinach).
Susil is onsite for any requirements overnight in his own quarters and will serve a late dinner, especially if you are on long trips to Yala, Kandy, Colombo etc.
Nothing is too much trouble for Sudath, he comes every day to check everything is ok and whether there is anything he can do for you. From personal experience we strongly recommend that you use Sudath to arrange any transfers from and to the airport, and to book all excursions, massages, taxis etc. All are reasonably priced. A local tuk-tuk driver is also to hand if you wish to go to Ambalangoda ('The City') or Hikkaduwa. Prices are fixed but very cheap- Rs250 to Ambalangoda both ways including waiting! Or you can catch the bus for just Rs10 per person one way.
'The City' is quite hectic so expect your journey to take a little time. Alternatively Sudath can arrange a tuk-tuk driver to pick up any supplies if you require. He can also arrange BBQ equipment if required.
This is a beautiful villa from which you can get out of your private pool onto a sun bed and look out over the sea. The sandy beach is deserted and all yours. Beach chairs and pool towels are provided together with bath towels and linen. You will need to bring your own toiletries.
If you are after a quiet holiday with a beachfront location in southern Sri Lanka this is probably as good as it gets for the money.
Thank you to Sudath and his team for an amazing experience.
