During my stay, I found the resort to be impeccably clean and well-maintained, offering stunning views of the ocean. The location, with its proximity to a private beach, made for a relaxed and enjoyable getaway. However, a previous experience significantly marred my trip, with issues related to dining and room conditions. The pricing for the overall experience felt justified, but I believe there's room for improvement in specific areas.

Booking my stay at Dickwella Resort and Spa was a fantastic choice! The staff made us feel at home right from the start, and the views of the ocean surrounding the resort were absolutely stunning. The food was delicious and varied, making dining a delightful experience. However, the rooms could have been better, as we experienced a hiccup with the air conditioning during the night, which was a bit of a challenge with three kids. Overall, I would definitely recommend this resort for a relaxing getaway.

My stay was quite mixed. On one hand, the beach view from the balcony was a true delight, especially during quarantine. The staff provided tasty meals, which I truly appreciated. On the other hand, my short visit to Dickwella Resort & Spa revealed some areas needing serious improvement, especially with room maintenance and service, which left much to be desired. Overall, it's a beautiful setting, but the experience itself could have been much better.
