Très belle hôtel! Une petite vérification de la propreté à l’arrière des clients
Pros:

Super belle vu

Cons:

Ca ne sentait pas trop don dans les couloirs.
Les coussins étaient très sale.
A l’arrivée dans la chambre il y avait la chasse d’eau qui etait pas tiré.

Pros:

The hotel was pretty clean and well maintained. The sea view room was spectacular. The staff at the reception were quite helpful. Should definitely mention this staff Prabhavi who helped me prepone my booking and was always responsive to my queries.

Pros:

Le cadre est agréable, et nous avions opté pour une chambre avec vue sur mer, ce qui a rendu le séjour encore plus plaisant.
Le service est de qualité. Le buffet du dîner est également satisfaisant, tandis que le petit déjeuner reste correct, sans être particulièrement remarquable

Cons:

Petit point à améliorer concernant le check-in : nous étions arrivés en avance afin de déposer nos valises et avions déjà effectué les formalités au préalable.
Cependant, à l’heure prévue du check-in, nous avons dû patienter environ quarante minutes avant de pouvoir récupérer le badge de notre chambre.

Great breakfasts and sunsets
Pros:

Great amenities - gym, pool, sauna, steam room, room service etc. Rooftop bar with the most amazing sunsets also obviously incredible, particularly for first / last night in Sri Lanka. Beds very comfortable and enjoyed the novelty of the Japanese toilets, and of having a pina colada in the pool! The breakfast buffet is also delicious.

Cons:

Food quality could have been more consistent, lifts were a bit slow at times, and the check in process takes a while.
