Really good Dining Experience

“During my stay, the dining experience at SMS (Sea, Meat and Spices) was amazing. I enjoyed a seafood platter that was nothing short of superb! Each dish was delicious and truly brought out the flavors of Sri Lanka. I also loved the innovative drinks, especially the passionfruit and lime concoction that enhanced my dining experience immensely.” view full review

Perfect for Kids

“My son had an awesome time using the play area designated for children. The hotel's facilities catered wonderfully to families, and it was reassuring to see how engaged and well taken care of he was during our stay. There were plenty of activities for kids, which made our family vacation even more enjoyable.” view full review

Relaxing Spa Services

“The spa offered a variety of services that were perfect for unwinding. I indulged in a massage that was soothing and well-executed. The ambiance was serene, although I did notice a unique policy around massage attire, which added an interesting twist to the experience. Overall, it was a relaxing escape that I looked forward to after a long day.” view full review

The hotel boasts a great location with lush tropical gardens and nearby beach access. While my room was spacious and had a lovely view, it felt a bit dated. The staff provided helpful assistance, but dining could be improved with more diverse options. Overall, it's a nice place, but some areas could use a bit more attention to enhance the experience.

The hotel offers a beautiful location right next to the beach, which is definitely one of its highlights. While the rooms were spacious, I noticed a musty smell that detracted from the experience. The dining options were superb, especially the breakfast which was one of the best I've ever had. However, the service could be improved as it felt a bit overcrowded at times with large groups.

The hotel is in a beautiful location right next to the gorgeous beach and offers great views of the river. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but they do show some signs of aging, especially the bathrooms. While the dining options were decent, some areas of service could be improved, particularly in terms of staff friendliness. Overall, it’s a lovely place to relax with a fantastic pool area, but some updates would make it even better.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right by a beautiful beach and river, and the staff was friendly.

Overall, it has potential, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

The hotel has a lovely vibe with its beautiful beach and lush surroundings, making it feel like a little paradise. However, the rooms could use some updating and feel a bit tired. While the staff was friendly, they seemed a bit unsure about providing information or engaging with families. Overall, it's a great location for a beach vacation but has some room for improvement in room quality and service knowledge.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms that had a delightful view of the garden. The staff was really friendly and helpful, although it seemed they were a bit intimidated by kids hanging around the reception. The hotel's location is beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery, but if you're looking for direct beach access, this might not be the best choice. Overall, it's a solid option with good value for money.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is stunning, right on the beach with a lovely pool area. The rooms are spacious and come with nice balconies but had a few issues with moisture from the AC unit.

Overall, the hotel has great potential but needs some improvements in certain areas.
