Over priced rundown hotel
We booked this hotel for our last night in Sri Lanka and it was by far the most rundown hotel we have stayed in.
We booked the most expensive ($260 per night) room that they offered “ beach villa”.
The room was in poor condition and looked nothing like a villa.
Tv didn’t work and bed sheets were old and room was not clean.
Ac blows directly on the bed so you can choose to either be freezing or be super hot.
The hotel is on the beach but far from easy access to anything near by.
Dinning options are at the buffet only and it’s like a 2 star restaurant.
The buffet is $15 per person, kinda high for the quality of food and giving the fact you are in Sri Lanka.
This hotel would be ok for $40 per night for someone that is on budget.
$260 per night in Sri Lanka gets you by far nicer accommodation.

Overall good but they have a lot to learn.
Overall good. They have a lot to learn regarding food selection compared to other all inclusive holidays we have taken especially Turkey. We booked B&B but were informed that we should take all inclusive as it represented good value. We don’t agree £70 each per day wasn’t good value at all unless you wanted to snuff yourself or get outrageously drunk!

Good location and pool. We booked a junior suite for 4 persons (2 adults and 2 children) but only were provided with 3 beds. No solution suggested by the hotel. We had to sleep with our boy in our bed. Expedia should not offer a suite to 4 persons.

Very nice

Very nice resort. Wonderful huge pool and great pool area on the lawn. Beautiful beach too - and swimmable :). Animation team active. Nice main restaurant, lots of food choices. And tasty. Live music at times nice touch.
Close to the airport, very good choice for a first or last stop in Sri Lanka.
-
Very large resort, not for those who prefer more privacy. Sometimes loud too. They take day guests (probably there for a meeting or something), so that at one point there were no more sun umbrellas left for us - which should not happen. A bit complicated to get around. Could have more of a local touch.

Très bon accueil dès l'aéroport (van réservé à l'avance pour 40$ l'aller) et à l'hôtel bien reçus (mais ne pas être pressés !)
Chambre en rez de jardin au bord de la piscine principale (attention un peu bruyant et le personnel de chambre commence le ménage très tôt)
Nous avons upgradé du BB en All inclusive moyennant finance et c'est obligé car pas grand chose dans les alentours.
Mauvaise surprise certains jours de voir des locaux venir passer la journée en groupe et se rendre malade à boire de l'alcool jusqu'à ne plus tenir debout.

Family hotel
Loved the hotel and food. Pool was great too. We were AL but when I asked for banana milkshake it was not on the AL. I don’t drink so this was disappointing. Staff are very friendly.
Overall nice facility layout confusing. Staff really nice. Not much entertainment on offer. A little far out to bars, shopping & to find things to do. Food was good.
