Sudesh and the restaurant staff were efficient! Nijab, Anil, and the pool team were helpful! They rushed to set us up with pool towels.

The beach access was direct and convenient. The hotel provided beautiful garden areas and clean pools. The front desk staff managed check-out efficiently. I was able to enjoy the hotel amenities until my evening flight after checking out at noon. The buffet featured delicious food. Kelum Dasun and Vikum were very friendly.
I found that the gym and other amenities looked good. the hotel lacked a kids pool and any play area. I think the hotel should consider adding a kids pool to be more family-friendly.
