Food is very tasty. Service Satisfied. Atmosphere good

Review by Asiri F Colombo, Sri Lanka
TripAdvisor Review
Five star ! (sham there's no beach!)

A lovely hotel ,ideally placed for romantic sunsets - food wonderful,especially if you're lucky enough to get a set menu.The steak was marvellous and the seafood plate was fantastic. We stayed for 4 nights and found the buffet was delicious very time with a real mix to keep you interested - they did a masala dosa for me and it was excellent. The staff were all very friendly and efficient - a charming lady called Dilharu who was always on hand to make us feel at home. The room was spotless and there were always staff on hand keeping it clean and well stocked. The swimming pools and pool bar were always clean and tidy . One small problem - it could do with a beach -all there is is a fence and a pile of rocks ! Would definitely stay again.

TripAdvisor Review
Great place for a day out!

We took our school class trip here for the day 56 teenagers. The facility is lovely and the service was excellent. Dilhani & Jaindu made sure we had everything we needed throughout the day.

Pleasant days in a beautiful hotel with sound of the sea (but without a beach)

Very friendly and helpful staff. ♡ Elegant lobby. Big and beautiful rooms with balcony (very proper and well cleaned, nice view to the garden and the pool, but unfortunately only one "old-fashioned" key for two persons!) Large swimmingpool with poolbar. Many plants (beautiful palmtrees) Unfortunately no beach and no possibiluty to swim in the sea due to very high waves. Great choice in the restaurant (you have to get used to many spicy food and a "burning" tongue - or renounce like I did)

TripAdvisor Review
Super place

The rooms are large and well equipped. Very comfortable beds. The staff throughout the hotel were perfect in every way. It's just a shame that the beach has gone and the nearest one is full of refuge.
