I had an unexpectedly wonderful experience at this hotel. From the spacious and clean rooms to the excellent food options in various cuisines, everything was delightful. The beach area, while not directly accessible, provided breathtaking views, and the pool was a great spot for relaxation. However, the slight chill in the water could be improved.

We really enjoyed our honeymoon at this hotel. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, from the warm welcome at check-in to the attentive service throughout our week. The beach access and the spa were definite highlights. However, while the facilities were excellent, the food prices felt a bit steep for what we received, especially since we found dining more affordable and enjoyable in Galle. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, though dining could be improved for value.
