We liked everything!

The hotel grounds are beautiful, but it is the staff that makes this hotel fantastic! Super friendly, helpful, and professional. This was a great stay! Oh! Did I mention the insanely great buffet breakfast? *smile*

The rooms is beyond tired. You can tell that housekeeping is trying to keep us clean by the overwhelming smell of cleaning products when you first walk into the room. However, no amount of Ajax can get rid of mildew. Which is everywhere. And I mean everywhere. Like the ceiling. And the floors. And the walls. And do yourself a favor and don’t even look at the AC on the wall. The bedding smelled really weird and all I can say is thank god we spent only one night there - would not want to sleep in that bed ever again.

The only thing to like about this hotel is its close proximity to the airport if that’s what you’re looking for. Some of the staff were super friendly and helpful, like the guys working in the bar. But the staff at the reception spoke very little English, kept giggling and speaking in their local language and made us feel very awkward.

Wish we could have stayed longer

From the gentleman that did our check in, room service, checkout, everything was done really well and I wish we had more time to stay there.

Nothing comes to the mind. The room, the food, the staff were all excellent.

Good mix of Western and Srilankan food, I and my wife loved the Srilankan food!! The resort faces the Negombo lagoon and we took a motorboat ride with Deva to the wetlands, it was very peaceful and tranquil with lots of birds, monkeys and also one moniter lizard. The peace and quiet of this resort takes away all the tension, and helps me relax and plan.

Old, faded, tired, overpriced. Noisy from a party going on with a karaoke singer. Would never have stayed unless desperate and needed to be near airport

Proximity to airport

- all 4 mattresses were catastrophically old, worn out (first time this happened in 14 days Sri Lanka staying in much more modest accommodation before) - we had booked double beds and were 'upgraded' to better view but separate beds, we asked for additional linen for our third child (who had to sleep in the crack of the two separate beds) and staff was strangely reluctant to comply immediately explaining we could use the other 2 linens to bridge the gap (?). no mention of an extra bed (which to be fair we did not explicitly asked for). - staff miss-punched the charged amount to pay in Rupies instead of Dollars, the transaction costs are mine - uncomfortable infestation of the pool area with crows, pool mostly in the shade after 3pm (maybe therefore nice and cool) - classical example of a probably once nice hotel run down by current management

In part friendly staff great shower with more than adequate water pressure (unfortunately shower head calcified and therefore only 50% output) refreshing pool nice terrace to sit in the evening free WIFI

Rooms very tired looking, mouldy bathroom tiles and bedlinen very worn and the room had a strong smell of smoke. Staff not overly helpful when asking for guidance on where to eat and when eating in the hotel restaurant the buffet food was not kept hot and also not to my taste.

Good location for the airport.

The bathroom was not clean, and the shower area's water was not properly drained. The comodde sheet has several stains, making it doubtful that it has been adequately cleaned every day. It was a worst experience I was disappointed that there was no worm welcoming compared to other hotels we visited, and that there were some service issues. We ordered water bottles in our room. However, after an hour we received three reminders.

The hotel environment is quite nice and pleasant. Nice scenery, lakes, etc.

A lot of things need to be improved.

Good location. Easy access.

Awfully slow/ non existent service at the restaurant. Food was cold on arrival and tasteless. They had a very expensive buffet on and staff didn’t seem to want to provide other options. Room was not clean and bathroom full of ants, and there was a dead ant in the bed. Bed itself was very uncomfortable & lighting dark in room. Music was played very loudly outside until 10pm, which was odd for an “airport hotel” preventing us from sleeping before an early flight. Don’t stay here if flying early the next day!

Close to the airport, nice area to sit outside and enjoy the view

My concern is food is not good. No variety. Not matching. Not satisfied with the food.

Room Was fine. staff of the front office and the restaurant were good. Need to improve more. My concern is food is not good. No variety. Not matching. Not satisfied with the food.

We stayed on this hotel in June, on our previous trip we were upgraded to a suite and it was lovely. This time we booked a deluxe lagoon view room, the room was very tired. There was no water or toiletries, the internet did not work in the room. The TV remote did not work. There was a gap in the sliding doors even when they were locked and because of this we were eaten by mosquitoes. I thought I had found the perfect hotel when flying out of Bandaranaike Airport on my frequent visits however my search continues.

Breakfast was ok, coffee was very poor.

Stayed in October 2024

I was with the Family, but there was no hot water in our room. When we call the reception, they said these days we don’t offer hot water for bath.

Could have been a little less noisy but it was a marriage celebration going on so I enjoyed. Will be back.

One of the best stays ever. Superb hotel, amazingly caring service even though I landed at 2:00 am the pickup was there and room was ready. View is spectacular.

I would expect more from a 4 star hotel. The level of cleanliness and general maintenance of the rooms was poor.

Close to the airport and the staff were great.

There weren't any charging sockets around the bed. Also, they haven't provided a travel adapter in the room too. The washroom didn't had a hand towel. No conditioners in washroom for such a humid weather. In the breakfast, they didn't had any fresh juice and only one canned juice. Vegetarian options were good but when we asked for vegetable bun which was just finished - they said it will 10 minutes but they never got back to us even after 30 minutes. Moreover, they removed the food plate name for the vegetable bun.

The hotel pool and management was good. The room size were big enough and they upgraded us to a higher category room without asking for it.

The staff were very helpful. We were upgraded at no extra cost as we arrived late and the staff bent over backwards to help
