I loved the hotel location, right by the pier, offering entertainment for both families and couples. The rooms were overlooking the beautiful tropical gardens and river mouth, boasting a shower, balcony, comfortable double bed, AC, TV, and WIFI. The service, while really bad in some instances, was extremely helpful without being pushy. The dining was a mix of experiences, with one restaurant offering a less favorable choice of mainly Sri Lankan and Indian food, while another had a perfect meal selection. Overall, a pleasant stay with some ups and downs.

The hotel offers large rooms that are a bit old and musty, in need of serious renovation. The service was a mix of very helpful and friendly staff but also occasional surly behavior. The location is stunning, right on a beautiful beach with a lush surrounding. The dining experience varied from so-so to excellent. The facilities are decent, though there were some issues with leaking in the bathroom.

The hotel offers very large rooms but unfortunately had a terrible smell. The staff seem to be more focused on each other rather than engaging with guests, especially kids. The location is stunning right on the beach and surrounded by lush greenery, but the room conditions and walls were subpar.

The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms, although slightly old, with a shower, balcony, double bed, AC, TV, and WIFI. However, cleanliness could be improved as there is a noticeable moldy smell and high humidity in the rooms with damp floors. The location is ideal, right by the pier, offering a 5-star experience with a beautiful beach on one side and a lush river on the other. The dining options are decent, although mainly focused on local cuisine. The service was a mix, ranging from being rude to friendly and cooperative.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were nice, although not as clean as I would have liked. They were spacious with a large balcony and a bathtub, making it comfortable. The staff, especially in the restaurant, were not very competent, but overall friendly and helpful. The location, right on a beautiful beach with a lush pool area and river view, was stunning. The dining experience offered a good mix of continental and Sri Lankan cuisine, although the options were limited. The facilities were adequate, but the leaking washroom was a downside.

The resort has a great feel to it, especially the pool view or second-floor rooms. It's just beside the lake, albeit a bit musty.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were faultless, with a view of the beach and exceptionally clean, but it's better to choose a pool view or second floor to avoid ants and insects. The rooms were also excellent, large, modern, and very comfortable.
