Aavya Cove Villas by Aahaasa

We’ve stayed at Calamansi Cove Villas three times already, and every time we leave, we start dreaming about coming back again. It’s truly a place that feels like home — but on vacation. The biggest highlight for us is the exceptional service. The people who work here are incredibly kind and warm. It’s such a joy to return and see familiar faces who not only remember us, but also know and genuinely care about our children. That kind of connection is rare and deeply meaningful. We want to give special thanks to Sujith, Nerodha, Shalini and Jayavira, who have looked after us and our children every single time we’ve visited. Their care and attention make all the difference, and we are so grateful for their presence. This is a perfect place for curious little explorers — our kids loved collecting coconuts, spotting iguanas and monkeys, watching hermit crabs, searching for shells, and exploring the plants and flowers. The surroundings are simply beautiful: peaceful, private, and just steps away from a quiet beach. We’re already planning our next trip with the whole family, even if it means traveling for 24 hours with two kids — it’s always worth it for the rest, nature, and warmth we experience at Calamansi Cove. Also, a special shoutout to Asela for the unforgettable massage — truly a highlight of the stay! This place has a piece of our hearts. We’ve traveled a lot, but Calamansi Cove Villas is one of those rare gems we always want to return to.

The property is away from crowded areas, near a village, about a kilometer from the main road. We stayed here for only one day/night and it was raining most of the time. We had our own car, hence it was convenient to go out otherwise we would be stuck here because of the rain. Our garden villa(named Rambutan) was nice and spacious. It is set in a tropical forest with a huge outdoor area and rooftop terrace. But mosquitoes wouldn't let us sit outside. The problem with our villa was that other guests could look into our room when they were passing by. So we had to keep the curtains down. I wouldn't recommend this villa. The food at the restaurant was alright but expensive. The service was pretty slow. For dinner, one has to confirm hours before and for breakfast one has to order the night before. The pool was good and the beach was excellent. There is a fishing village right next door. Pretty idyllic! If you want privacy then don't take the villa named Rambutan.
