Nice location near the airport for a quick stay. Airport pickup was provided with a midnight arrival. Awoke to lush gardens in a very quiet area of town. The staff was very help in arranging a tour. Nalaka setup tuktuks and boat tour. He also shared some tips on surroundings cities. Breakfast and dinner options were very good and promptly prepared.

We loved our experience from beginning to end. A tranquil and beautiful place, with so many places to rest and explore within the walls. Loved the room, the pools, the food was excellent, the store for crafts and the wildlife surrounding us was the perfect way to recalibrate after a long flight and shake off any residual stress. We would love to return.

The overall experience was fantastic and we intend to stay here in the future. We enjoyed the spacious rooms, the delicious breakfast, and the convenience of the hotel being right by the airport. Staff were extremely helpful during our stay but also in helping to arrange pickup from the airport and a private car to our main destination in Sri Lanka. The minor issue is that the AC did not fully cool the room because the design of the windows contained cutouts that let the cool air out. The fan helped alleviate the heat but it would be nice if changes were made to ensure the room was "sealed".

"The place itself is nice, the swimming pool is unique in its surroundings. The staff members are very nice and courteous. The biggest downside is the level of maintenance of the rooms (all parts, icluding the bathroom and the toilet) which should improve."
