“This is, by my assessment, the best option in Batticaloa for business and solo travelers who seek a well-maintained, lagoon-front hotel. I like the quiet location and the spacious rooms, but would suggest opting for a newer room with a balcony for the best views. Although the food is a bit expensive, the breakfast is very good, in my opinion.”
