Beautiful but far too expensive in my case.
Pros:

Location was absolutely stunning, the hotel was well maintained. This is would have been my favourite stay by far if it wasn’t for missing $$$.

Cons:

Went out to a carnival and found that my purse wasn’t with me. I called front desk of the hotel to check the room to make sure it was there.
When I got back I noticed that USD 400 and LKR 20,000 was missing.
Spoke to the manager who said he went to the room and didn’t take anything. The camera right outside the room mysteriously “stopped working” about 30 minutes after checking in so we basically couldn’t verify anything with that either.
If it weren’t for the non functional camera - I may have believed the manager that he didn’t take money.
Overall, Sri Lanka is lovely but locals are very curious. There were numerous times that I left things in cars only to come back after a few minutes to see people going through my stuff. Beware.

Kühles Plätzchen in den Bergen
Pros:

Exceptionally beautiful location; if the weather had been better, we would certainly have had a great view. The staff are very friendly and flexible; at our request, we were able to have breakfast outside. It has a certain style ;)
