The resort itself is gorgeous, the pool is lovely, the food was pretty decent, and the staff were friendly and super helpful! They helped us organize a safari nearby, a tuktuk to Lion's Rock (Sigiriya), and a taxi back to Colombo. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back myself!

The hotel is average. Rooms are clean and spacious. Amenities are good. What I didn’t like is the breakfast dining hall which is open from all sides and flies are roaming around. The butter was left open which should have been covered to ensure hygiene. Lots need to be improved.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Lovely property with very friendly and attentive staff. Issues with cleanliness - dirty towels in room and no hand / face towels, with COVID measures - barely any mask wearers in buffet dining with no hand sanitisation in sight despite shared use of serving spoons, with no enforcement or basic measures in place. Also had photos of jacuzzi bathtub in photos but no jacuzzi in the room - there was a switch in the bathroom that was labelled Jacuzzi but did nothing.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very expensive stay for not much facilities. Staff barely able to understand requests. No timely answers for queries before we arrived at the property. Staff do not go out of the way to make your experience pleasant at all. Breakfast was below average. For the expensive pricing, you would expect a better spread, but no. Cleanliness of property is also below average when you compare with similar properties in the price range.

Okropny hotel z ładnym basenem

Hotel ratował tylko piękny ale stary i zimny basen wśód pół ryżowych. Bałagan i brud. Kelnerzy w brudnych ubraniach. Śniadanie okropne. Nie było co zjeść. Soki lały się po podłodze a jajka walały pod nogami. Management tylko czekał na godzinę 9 am by zasiąść do stołu. Brud na restauracji. Ceny bardzo wysokie.

Fint sted, trænger til en kærlig hånd hist og pist

Det er et fint sted med en masse potentiale, men lidt slidt i kanterne, så det vil gøre en forskel, hvis der blev fikset lidt hist og pist. Fx madrasserne på solsengene, forvaskede håndklæder, pletter på sengetæppe, hul i terassestolene...

Lovely, modern design hotel with great pool and gardens. Good selection of food in the restaurant although we have had better on our trip. Villa room was comfortable although the sofa certainly needed replacing. About 10 mins tuk tuk ride from main attractions.
