I had a great time at this hotel. The rooms offered fantastic views and combined modern amenities with a traditional Sri Lankan atmosphere. They were spacious and clean, which made our stay comfortable. On the downside, the service was a bit inconsistent, and the dining options became repetitive after a few days. Overall, it provided good value for money, especially given its stunning location by the beach.

I recently stayed at this spa hotel and it was a mixed bag. While the location is fantastic, right next to the beach, the rooms left a bit to be desired when it came to ventilation. The service was generally friendly, but I did have a frustrating experience with the airport pick-up. The dining was decent but got a little repetitive. Overall, it has potential but certainly needs some improvements.
