fantastic stay near dambulla

helpful stafflake proximitysri lankan dishesoutdated fixtures
the staff were helpful and friendly, always ready to assist. the hotel's proximity to the lake added so much to the atmosphere. the food was also amazing!!! i especially enjoyed the sri lankan dishes.
the bathroom fixtures felt a bit outdated. the shower head could use an upgrade, as it didn't provide consistent water pressure.
