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the bathroom fixtures felt a bit outdated.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.
