"This was our first stop on arrival in Sri Lanka and it didn’t disappoint. The staff are wonderful, the food was gorgeous and the setting by the lake was idyllic. The rooms are comfortable, clean and have high ceilings and views of the lake. Altogether a great start to our holiday."

"This was the most terrible stay. The hotel was dilapidated, and did not look safe. There were holes in the walls, construction was going on, and the bathroom was not clean. Our balcony looked over a green murky pool in the adjacent property with mosquitoes on our balcony. We did not want to sleep in the bed and slept in our clothes and did not sleep well as the power went out at least 20 times during the night. No air or electricity . We checked out the next morning ( we were supposed to stay 2 nights). The staff were friendly and obviously not their fault. Not sure if the hotel is under renovations but do not think our rooms should be inhabited at this time."

"Such incredible hospitality and kindness from all the staff. The place is a lovely oasis and full of gorgeous little touches. Truly a unique, memorable stay."

"Staff and food both fantastic "

"What a special place! My room was spotless and the staff were warm, kind, and attentive, and always willing to help with whatever I needed. The setting is fabulous - right on the ocean with a magnificent pool. The sea breeze was delightfully cooling as we ate delicious meals in the restaurant. The small raft was a super fun way to access the hotel when we arrived, and added to the tropical adventure atmosphere. "

"Rooms were a little dated. Staff were mostly very helpful. The hotel was virtually empty so not much atmosphere. Nice place to stay close to the airport. Superb massage in the spa. "

"Enjoyed our stay amd happy with the staff, really felt relaxed "

"Everything is good except that service is little slow, it could be check in process or refilling the breakfast items. Property is well maintained."

"The pool is fantastic and the staff are extremely warm and welcoming. The gardens are pretty and our room was spacious, clean and the air conditioning, bed and shower were all good. The entertainment amenities (bikes, golf, tennis, games room etc) are very dated and could use a refresh - but we were mainly there for the pool and to break up the journey to Wilpattu after flying into Colombo, so it was fine for us and what we needed. There is nothing around the resort so best to book the all-inclusive or half board unless you have a driver. "
