Het perfecte hotel in Sri Lanka!
Pros:

In een woord geweldig! Dit hotel is helemaal af. Alles erop en eraan. Zwembad, gym, goed restaurant, geweldig personeel en heerlijke kamers.
De kamer heeft goede bedden met een heerlijke badkamer. De douche heeft een goede straal en heerlijk warm water.
Het hotel en de kamers zijn schoner dan schoonst. De tuin en het zwembad zijn prachtig onderhouden.
Als je iets nodig hebt wordt het geregeld.
Ook de safari naar Yale national park was prima geregeld. Inclusief een meeneem ontbijt. Het team van hotel River Front heeft deze 10 dik verdient!

Pros:

We loved everything about our stay at this fine hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the rooms were excellent, spacious, modern and very clean. The food was great, and breakfast was huge and so tasty. We loved the outdoor pool and surrounding gardens which are spotless and so well cared for. It was a delightful stay and we would recommend very highly. When we return to Sri Lanka we will stay here again most certainly. Thank you for making our stay a memorable one.

Cons:

Staying an extra night or three.

Personal amabilísimo, instalaciones sorprendentes con estilo propio
Pros:

Una pasada. Parece una antigua propiedad colonial transformado en hotel. Da la sensación de estar en la selva pero con todos los lujos. El personal súper atento y amable y estamos muy contentos. Gracias

Cons:

Quizá habríamos echado de menos una neverita en la habitación para conservar el agua fría, pero realmente no tenemos ninguna queja porque todo estaba muy bien.
