    Staff were very friendly, had our breakfast packed for us as we were leaving early morning for the Safari ride. Very helpful staff. However the safari was a waste of money and time. Will not recommend the Safari.

    The room prominently displayed mold spots throughout.

    The hotel is conveniently located very close to Tissa Lake. Staff were supportive and friendly throughout our stay. Great pool on site.

    Was looking forward fr a good buffet breakfast as promoted, but it was downgraded to a la carte, much to our dismay. Reason was many didn't turn up fr breakfast the day earlier but we felt it was not an excuse.

    Overall , everything was reasonably good.

    There is no hotel communal area to sit/socialise really except the restaurant or foyer. We quite wanted a pre-dinner drink and to play cards with our children (since we were in two rooms) but had to retreat back to our rooms since there was no communal area for this (eg some tables overlooking the pool would be good).

    We booked this accommodation on the day and got two triple rooms at a very reasonable price, after our driver recommended the hotel (accommodation for him too which always makes it easier for everyone). The pool was great and the hotel is modern and stylish and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Small supermarket opposite and a few places to eat although we ate in the hotel (which was good but I prefer a la carte to international buffets since I want more Sri Lankan food and less Chinese/western food!). Short drive to the town/lake. Good sized bathrooms, with a helpful drying line!

    - The toilet smelled - Needs a good polish. - Has the potential to be a 5 star resort, just needs a good clean, including polishing of room furniture and regular cleaning of communal areas.

    - Food at the buffet restaurant was very tasty. - There was a good spread of Sri Lankan cuisine - Staff spoke a very good level of English - A/C rooms - Easy access to Yala national park

    We had both Dinner and breakfast at this hotel. Food was good. But they do not re-fill the dishes when they are over. I think they only provide a limited quantity of food.

    Hotel location has easy access. This is a big property with a nice pool. We stayed in a upper floor room and the view from our room was very nice. Room was spacious enough, very clean and neat. All the amenities were provided.

    The food was horrible, with no taste at all. They don't have any variety for food. We stayed 2 days, and basically, it was the same meal served on both days they really needed to improve with food. .

    Nice place, and the pool was clean. Rooms were perfect, too..
