    Found lot of mosquitoes in the room. Staff did not welcome well in the morning breakfast. Feel like they only serve to some targeted visitors and not all people. Airport pick up is great and driver is very helpful. Even it is expensive , he has a good service.

    View from our room looked over a flat roof top that was ugly, looking beyond to the sea was great though!

    The decor is looking a little tired, and the bathroom could have been cleaner. Also, hotel guests reserve the chairs around the pool, while they go off and do other things. This is annoying as it prevents other people from relaxing around the pool.

    Great location, close to the airport and other resorts for dining. We left our new iPad in the safe and the staff kept it for us to collect on our return at the end of our holiday. Very honest.

    The sound proofing in the room is not great. We found mold in our room, we asked to change rooms and then everything was fine.

    The hotel is in a good location and the room are spacious. We had a beautiful view over the Indian Ocean from our room. The pool was often not too crowded and there is always someone there for assistance.

    We would have liked notification of large events going on with music as there was a wedding and a corporate event going on so it was not relaxing. Also we came to rest before going to the airport late at night so it was hard with the wedding reception.

    excellent location for the beach. Very nice swimming pools.

    The rooms are looking a bit outdated. Air con temp was unable to be changed and was running at 16 degrees. We were cold during the night. As we arrived early we just wanted to get some sleep and didn't raise this with the night staff.

    We arrived just after midnight and was welcomed by the night staff. Our check in was quick and we were in bed resting for the day ahead. The breakfast buffet exceeded what I imagined and was fresh and with plenty of choices.

    Same breakfast everyday. However, its okay for non-vegetarians. Hotel chef should change the menus often to add more varieties. Other than that, property was good and enjoyed the stay

    Breakfast was not that great for vegetarians and it was monotonous for all the days except Saturday where I saw an extra dish - Dosa with chutneys. Could have been better

    Staff took a lot of prompts to be helpful. I requested an airport transfer and the gentleman replied that the vehicle was booked (fair enough). I had to ask him if alternate timings were available and it took an hour to confirm. Also price to airport was extortionate - for reference it cost more for a 25 minute journey than it did to hire a driver for 8 hours in Colombo

    Solid hotel, ideal for the airport if you have an early or late flight. Decent facilities and some nice restaurants nearby

    The only things I didn't like and I've mentioned it before is the pool surround tiles are not a good quality of an anti-slip tile. the other thing is you can never get a member of staff to stay by or in the pool swim up bar I found myself as others did looking and fetching someone to serve and that was a daily event!

    Apart from my details given below all was good.

    The initial room we had booked was very hot (30 degrees) and had small insects crawling all over the counter. However after complaining, we eventually got upgraded to a better room which was nice of the staff. Bit the best pool area - the property on the whole looks a bit tired.

    Good location and good food/drink menu prices.
