    We stayed for 3 nights when we first arrived. The hotel isn't far from the airport and they arrange a pick up for you. It was just we needed after a long flight. Cosy. Chilled, great pools, lots of shade and the best way to settle into Sri Lanka heat. Lots of families staying for the same reason. We did a day trip from the hotel which they recommended and sorted out for us. We went to monkey island. Perfect The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Made you feel part of the family. So relaxed.such lovely people. The pools were great, all the gardens stunning. Breakfast was just wonderful

    Excellent stop off before the airport. The staff are really good. Food is decent and the kids loved having the slide in the pool. Great place for a rest before or after the airport :)

    You can hear other rooms not too sound proof - however given the cost this probably balances out

    Great property near the airport. Fantastic overnight stay with kids upon arrival to Sri Lanka. Friendly owners abs the pool was brilliant

    Nothing at all.

    Optimum Residences made our first night/day in Sri Lanka incredibly easy. We arrived at 1AM, and contacted them via Whatsapp to arrange pickup at the airport. They arrived within 15 minutes and gave us clear directions where to meet them (out front of airport in front of post office). From here we made the short commute to the Residences. Safe, secure and very comfortable. We were greeted by the owner who showed us our room. It had everything we needed. Comfortable beds, clean room and a bathroom with good water pressure. In the morning we enjoyed a beautiful, filling breakfast with attentive staff. Our children made use of the pool and waterside while we got our bearings and packed up for our next destination. Prior to our arrival we had been getting prices for a van ride to Dambulla. We were misquoted by the host of our next stay (we knew the average costings for travel and knew he has quoted us 3x the price). Optimum Residences gave us an honest quote and followed through with exceptional service. Driving our family over 3 hours to our next destination. We are very grateful for this, and made the easy decision to rebook here again at the end of our trip for not 1 but 2 nights so we can enjoy their beautiful facilities knowing we will be assisted along the way from our 2nd last destination to theirs, then on to the airport. Highly recommend for anyone travelling solo or with a young family like us, to know you are in good, safe hands.

    A clean and convenient hotel with super-friendly staff offering free airport transfers. This place is most suitable for those with early morning flights as it is quite close to the airport.

    Lovely comfortable hotel, extremely good service. Nice room, lovely pool area and restaurant. We had a very early departure for the airport (before 5am). The hotel organised us a complimentary drop off at the airport and our hostess got up to make us a packed breakfast and to see us off.

    Definitely value for money. Beautiful place and airport shuttle is very convenient. Rooms are basic (for the price more than good enough) and very clean. We stayed here when we arrived to Sri Lanka and also when we were leaving. Second time we had an issue with a room (which can happen of course) and it was very quickly resolved by the staff which was always very friendly and available. The communication with them made it easy for us as a family with small children to arrive to a new country.
