Really good Boutique Hotel Stay
peaceful garden flavorful dishes
The garden had a very peaceful atmosphere. The chef prepared a Sri Lankan curry with nine separate flavorful dishes.. Breakfast included fresh fruit and a delicate Sri Lankan egg dish.
The location is somewhat remote. Tuktuks are necessary to reach the city center, about fifteen minutes away.
Facilities
9/10
The circular pond near the entrance hall adds charm. The pool area offers views over the surroundings.. The outside eating areas provide cool spaces.
Service
10/10
