The location overlooking the lagoon is wonderful despite being somewhat out of town and away from easy-to-hail tuk-tuks. The staff were helpful and the swimming pool was great. There is a restaurant on site that is open 8 am till 9 am. At the prices proposed it was wonderful value for money although a little sad as it was large but not very busy when we went

The restaurant was good, but unfortunately, a lot of the dishes were not available, which was a pity so we were reduced to our choices, particularly of Western Dishes so for some of us with a dislike of spicy food this was a little limiting

As we were driving our own tuktuk it proved a perfect location for us. Our huge room with 2 comfy beds and 2 balconies was fabulous. We got to see the sunset and sunrise. Loved the pool and the meal in the outside bure were delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. Location was the best.

Those crows are annoying.

The hotel is in a beautiful spot in front of the lagoon and the bedroom are very comfortable and clean. Best bed I slept in Sri Lanka.

The area is dark and I did not feel safe at night. As a female solo traveler, I had a bad experience with a male receptionist. He called my room and asked for my phone number.

Amazing location and view.

They had put us in the old building next to the swimming pool. This one unfortunately needs maintenance. Luckily the manager could give us some discount. But always book the main building cause I've been there before and that's amazing.

It had clean rooms & size of the room was quite good. Location was nice with the lagoon view.

AC couldn’t be adjusted in the room. Food taste & quantity can be improved to give value for money.

I really liked the cordiality and the excellent location of the hotel, close to the airport.

I didn't like the food very much.

Big hotel with pool and conference hall etc...not exactly a Sri Lanka traditional place which is what we look for as a tourist like us. Everything worked including the elevator.

everything was good at this hotel for one or 2 nights.

Big hotel complex with nice views of the lagoon. Close to the city center yet very quiet. Staff was friendly and rooms was clean

Rooms are starting to get a bit outdated. No western style breakfast available

Beautiful location and good, efficient service. Very friendly staff. Nice room with a tiny balcony

Doors will need to be fixed to go to the balcony. Big and bland restaurant. Not a welcoming place.
