My stay at Aquarius Resort was a mixed experience. The beach was beautiful and undisturbed, making it the highlight of my visit. However, the resort management left much to be desired, as there were some cleanliness issues and a lack of basic services. Overall, it could be a great getaway if improvements were made. 🌊🏝️

My stay at Aquarius Resort was a mixed bag. The location on a sandy private beach was stunning and tranquil, perfect for relaxation. However, the cleanliness and upkeep of the rooms left a lot to be desired. The food was genuinely delicious, offering a home-cooked vibe, but there were definitely areas that needed improvement.

I loved the location! It was beautifully secluded with no traffic noise, unlike other places I stayed at in Negombo and Hikkaduwa. The private beach was perfect for safe bathing and soaking up the sun.

The food was hands down one of the highlights. The Sri Lankan dishes had that tasty, spicy kick you expect, and the fresh fruit juices were great. It really felt like home-cooked meals.
