The design clearly takes inspiration from Geoffrey Bawa, and the adventure activities, like zip-lining, appeal to active guests. In my opinion, it makes for a memorable vacation, especially for couples.”

The bottled water in the room was replenished twice daily. Breakfast and dinner offered a reasonable selection of diverse dishes.
The decking around the swimming pool had some loose sections.

great hospitalitysri lankan dancersfood diversitypoor soundproofingloud gameslate night
The staff showed great hospitality. The cultural evening included Sri Lankan dancers. I found the food diversity to be good.
The soundproofing in the rooms was not good. I could hear hallway conversations. A local group played LOUD games until late at night. I found it hard to relax because of that.
