I was quite disappointed with my stay at this hotel. While the beach location is simply beautiful and the pool area is well maintained, the service left much to be desired, with staff seeming untrained and unresponsive. The dining options offered were decent but not nearly enough for the high price they charged. Overall, the experiences didn't match the expectations set by their website.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with a stunning location nestled between the Bentota River and the beach, perfect for long walks. The rooms were spacious and had a good view, though they could use some updates.

My stay at the hotel was quite an experience. Getting there by boat was innovative and made for a warm welcome with a chilled glass of juice. The room was clean and comfortable, and the pool was a fantastic place to relax; however, the dining options left much to be desired as the dinner buffet was disappointing. Overall, it's a decent place for relaxation, but food lovers might want to consider their options carefully.
