bland food non-existent wine list
The breakfast was perfect. Fresh fruit and delicious hot options were available with excellent presentation.
I booked half board. The food was quite bland (I was expecting more flavour). I am sure there are better options nearby. The wine list was practically non-existent. They had 7-8 white wines, but most were out of stock.

Authentic Sri Lankan Charm and Attentive Service

comfortable furnishings large shower late checkout
The poolside room featured comfortable furnishings and effective air conditioning. The bathroom included a large shower. Breakfast stood out with its fresh fruit juice, tropical fruit plate, and menu options like eggs florentine. croissants and toast with coffee. I also appreciated the late checkout option.
The absence of an elevator might pose a challenge with mobility issues.
