Delicious Dining Experience

I absolutely loved the variety at the breakfast buffet, offering everything from fresh fruit to classic Sri Lankan dishes. The chefs displayed really good culinary skill. The grilled calamari and garlic sausage were among my favorites during dinner, with an amazing dessert buffet to satisfy any sweet tooth.

I had a lovely time at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful beach and the nice pool. The staff were friendly and the food was seriously impressive, especially the fresh fish. However, the room I stayed in had some issues like a defective AC and outdated features, which made my experience less than ideal. Overall, it was a great place to relax, but there’s room for improvement in the accommodations.

I had a splendid time at this hotel that felt quite isolated from the hustle and bustle of tourist areas. The beach was almost private, and I loved the friendly atmosphere. The dining experience offered good buffet options, but the room Wi-Fi was disappointing as it struggled with multiple users. Overall, it's a great spot if you value peace and quiet, but you might miss some modern amenities.
