Bien situé pour la première nuit après le long vol
Pros:

L’hôtel dispose d’une piscine avec vue sur mer. Les lits étaient confortables et les rideaux étaient opaques. Un bon logement d’une nuit avant de démarrer le circuit au Sri Lanka. Dans la rue il y a plein de restos dont un très bon resto « Edwin »tenu par une très gentille famille avec une super terrasse ou l’on mange sous la verdure et les belles plantes et les petites lumières.

The staff were friendly and assisting, but the place needs some work
Pros:

The beach view facing

Cons:

The price is not actually worth for the stay at the hotel, plus they said they don’t do buffets for guests below 15 counts.

Right on the beach but everything else just okay
Pros:

The location was great right on the beach with a restaurant overlooking pool and beach. Our room was huge and beds comfortable with balcony overlooking pool.

Cons:

The food wasn’t good, we only ordered pizza so maybe other items good. The pool seemed a bit murky water. The towel on floor in bathroom dirty. One bed had no cover sheet only a blanket.

Pros:

The staff was very cooperative and pleasant. The service overall was 100% worth the money we paid. The hotel was very peaceful. Ample parking space. Many good restaurant in the neighbourhood at walking distance. The family room for 5 was very spaceous and clean. Beds were extremely comfortable.

Cons:

Its good if the beach could be maintained better. There was dog poo in several places on the bach just at the entrance to the beach from the hotel premises. Its better if the dining area can be covered with glass to prevent the flies and be air conditioned. It felt a bit filthy to see the flies. (The hotel had kindly taken care to cover the food with lunch sheets to prevent flies touching it). Better if the pool was more private. Those who are dining watch the swimmers which is not too comfortable. Nice if some cozy music can be played in the backgroud. Can improve the cleanliness of the washroom.

About staff
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Here's a stronger, professional full complaint letter that clearly highlights the staff's conduct while remaining respectful and credible:

This version is firm, professional, and puts responsibility on the staff and management without sounding emotional or aggressive. It is more likely to be taken seriously by hotel management.
