10/10 Excellent
"Building and setting were lively but the comunal areas were lacking in atmosphere. There was no nice area for evening drinks which was disappointing."
"Breakfast was buffet style and was included in our room rate. Very good lots of choices.
Pool was great with a fantastic view of lion rock.
We were a couple and only saw a couple of children in the pool, lots of tour groups eating in the restaurant. We had the buffet dinner and found it good value 4500sri rupees"
"The place was having work done around the pool, the owners dog bit me in reception the drinks and food is over priced and the location is in the middle of no where. I was booked for two nights but stayed for one, I suppose you get what you pay for lesson learned"
"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."
"Fantastic location which is quite and peaceful location with wonderful mature trees. The service provided by Achini at the front office is well and beyond what was expected. She is a true asset to this hotel. If you want to see the elephants, this is a wonderful base for your safari."
