breakfast verandaserene gardenwhale-watching excursion
The breakfast veranda was a daily treat. delicious options were available in a serene garden. the spacious room included thoughtful designs. It ensured a restful stay. the pool area allowed me to unwind. The lush garden surrounds it. the whale-watching excursion showed us several whales.
The room ac was not working at its full potential. the room remained too hot during the night. It affected my sleep.

poor lightingslow service
I stayed in the villa, and while the pool access was nice, the walk back to the main area felt long and isolated at night. The path was poorly lit! and I sometimes had trouble finding my way. the breakfast service could use some work. On a couple of mornings, the staff seemed understaffed. This meant long waits for coffee or any Sri Lankan food. The buffet items ran out quickly.

The gardens displayed a beautiful design. The pool offered a gorgeous view. I enjoyed the sunbathing areas. Breakfast was a delight, with eggs, fruit, toast, coffee, and a daily Sri Lankan specialty (the variety was fantastic).
The WiFi signal was somewhat weak in certain areas of the hotel.
