Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean rooms with a good size balcony overlooking the beautiful pool and ocean, but it needs considerable renovation. The service is a mix of effectively handling the crowd with polite chats but can feel slightly rude during check-in. The location is attractive with lush palm trees but lacking proper internet coverage. The dining experience boasts a huge variety of food but may lack consistency after a few days. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers good rooms with a nice view, though some areas show wear and were not ready on time. The location is convenient, close to shopping and restaurants, providing a pleasant atmosphere once inside the hotel grounds. The dining experience was varied, but breakfast options could be improved.
The hotel is in a convenient beachfront location with a refreshing breeze, but the rooms, while comfortable, lack natural light and have a persistent odor issue. The service is generally attentive and friendly, although there were instances of blame-shifting. The dining options offer a buffet with sufficient choices but may not fully justify the cost. The facilities are decent overall.
The hotel offers nice and great value rooms in Sri Lanka for the price paid. They are clean, tidy, and spacious, albeit a little shabby, but it does get pretty crowded with fewer servers than expected. The service is very friendly and helpful, making it a great place to relax by the pools or on the beach. The location is fantastic, welcoming, clean, spacious, and safe, ideal for enjoying a sunset drink at the beginning or end of your holidays in Sri Lanka. The dining options are good, with plenty of choices and local food to experience, though some feel the options could be more varied. Overall, it's a pleasant stay with a few minor hiccups.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean, offering great value for the price paid. The friendly and helpful staff, especially Suraj, Bastion, Ranga, and Leshan, made my stay exceptional. The location is fantastic with beautiful sunset views on the beach, and the dining experience was top-notch with a delightful selection of local dishes.
The hotel rooms, while not the biggest, were sufficient and clean, though priced on the higher side. The waiting time for pancake preparation was a drawback. The attentive service staff, though cheerful and friendly, faced a challenge with a room leak. The location was commendable, with two lovely pools and a view of the Indian Ocean. The dining experience was excellent with a variety of delicious options available.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great location near the beach and cozy rooms, but the cleanliness fell short at times. The pool area and grounds were lovely, but some aspects needed improvement.
