Staff very helpful and professional. Location amazing (the hotel is just sitting on the very beautiful, big and clean beach) and all the ground rooms has direct access to the swimming pool, restaurants and of course the beach.

We stayed for one night. We never used the restaurant but there were great options a short walk from the hotel. The hotel itself was very safe and secure and clean. Our only complaint was that we had no hot water in our shower

Friendly staff with overzealous security. The hotel security is keen to keep the other visitors away but can’t talk in English which led to our child being harassed as he couldn’t speak the local language. Complained to the duty manager who was very apologetic. Security staff need more training so that they don’t harass the hotel guests. Feel that management needs to take responsibility for this situation as staff are simply following instructions.

Stunning setting, needs to sharpen up.
A mixed bag- stunning setting but some elements of service & food quality (beach bar especially poor) and basic standards letting it down. Especially for the price.

Rooms were clean and comfortable with a spacious bathroom. Dining buffets were diverse and the staff were excellent and hospitable. Beach acces was spectacular. The pool was good but a little to shallow for me. The one thing put me a little off was that they provide driver accommodation but the driver accommodation was poor at best. My driver reported the A/C had been removed and the fans were sub par that they had to put buckets of cool water to keep the room cool enough to sleep. In the heat of Sri Lanka, I would not have put my driver in such accommodation.

Its very disappointing to see a hotel with such a small lobby. It was difficult to find a place to relax in the evenings outside the restaurant. This is run by a big group now for more rhan quarter century, they also charge high rates. We are guests and not cattle

Giving an average rating. Booked last minute and paid way over market value. Wouldn’t pay more than US$150 per night including breakfast.
Pros:
Large bedroom
Comfy beds
Evening security on the beach (as there are no gates/fences between the hotel and the beach
Good selection at breakfast
Cons:
Aggressive crows by the pool
Limited sun loungers
Cleanliness of bathroom floor
Accommodation is slightly dated
Served stale from a pot at breakfast rather than making a pot per table/fresh cups

Located on beautiful white sandy beaches and nice gardens. Hotel is vwry open so that means constant insects, who are more annoying than anything else.
There is no air conditioning in any of the public places. At least one venue needs to be air conditioned, the weather was extremely hot and earing outdoors was very uncomfortable.
The hotel also needs some night time atmosphere like music, band etc. All. Ery quite and dull.
Hotel in time will need modernising, starting to get dated.
Overall good location and hotel for 4 star.

Welcome was good. Room was good. Staff a bit slow as per most of the Cinnamon hotels we have visited.
Pool area was nice.
Such a shame about the beach. Plastic and glass all the way along the beach, which ever way you turned.
We didn't venture onto the sea because of this.
Buffet was a bit limited and as per usual, the western food wasn't that great.
We did find a good bar on the beach called Fernando's and a good restaurant called Cafe on the 18th. Great salads and other dishes.
Service was really good and friendly at both.

Struttura molto bella direttamente sul mare. Bella spiaggia ma non attrezzata. È invece attrezzatissimo l’ampio prato fra le due piscine ombreggiato da bellissime palme. Camere ampie e pulite. Personale straordinariamente gentile, disponibile, sorridente e con una carica di allegria che mette buon umore. Da provare !
