Green Parrot Beach Resort

Having spent three weeks travelling round Sri Lanka, I was looking for a quiet and comfortable hotel to spend the last few days of my holiday just chilling. Green Parrot proved to be an ideal choice. The location is very peaceful, just a few yards from a quiet sandy beach. The bedroom that I shared with my husband was large and very comfortable with two balconies: one faced inwards towards the pool, whilst the other provided a view of the lagoon at the front of the property. We enjoyed using the hotel facilities, including having a massage and swimming in the large and spotlessly clean pool. Breakfasts were tasty; I especially liked the curd with fresh fruit and granola (a really nice touch at Green Parrot was the homemade granola, dips and jams). Most days we ate either lunch or an evening meal in the restaurant on site (usually accompanied by a posse of gorgeously friendly and not too demanding cats). The chefs - Shan, Dananjaya, Arshad, Hasara, Rashmika and Aakash - clearly take pride in their work and provided us with some lovely meals. The hotel has recently undergone new management, and it seems to be having a bit of relaunch with innovations added all the time. I am certain that it will be very successful. The location is out of town, but there are a few restaurants and beach bars close by. The staff at Green Parrot were helpful in arranging tuktuks and taxis, and can also recommend organised excursions.
