Sri Linkan food at Resturant. Limited food option for the breakfast. You need to request what do you want one day before.

Bon rapport qualite prix
Pros:

L’hotel spacieux en retrait de la plage de Bentota. Les chambres sont grandes , les lits sont tres confortables, les salles de bain larges et agréables. Le personnel est souriant et attentif

Cons:

Le restaurant, sous forme de buffet, propose des repas sri lankais exclusivement . Pas de petit déjeuner continental , mais un repas salé et épicé.

Definitely not a four star hotel and poor customer service.
Pros:

The size of the room is good. The porters and cleaners were also very helpful.

Cons:

Management of the place is appalling. Housekeeping is poor - our bedrooms weren't cleaned while we were there and no sign to hang up to request it to be cleaned. No bin in the room. No furniture on the balcony to sit out on. We had no water on the second day and had to be moved from our block. We were moved to a room where the security box was faulty and beeped throughout the night. The wifi kept cutting out.
The worst thing though is the way they communicate - nothing about treatments when we arrived even though it is an ayurvedic resort and we had to ask what was available and then they quoted different prices for the same thing to my daughter and me. At night there is nobody on reception so you arrive to a ghost hotel and that's how we found we had no water, there was nobody to tell us as we came in we had to phone and eventually somebody answered to tell us. There are lots of people on reception in the morning and none seem too busy. It's got a strange feel to it - lighting in the corridors isn't strong enough and also the bricks in the paths are so loose in places that they actually dislodged when I walked over them.
I'm not usually one to complain in this way but given the cost and the fact they say they are a four star hotel, they need to seriously get some customer training in.

Pleasant
Pros:

Good location, lovely setting, good pool.

Cons:

The whole complex felt understaffed, though the staff who were there, worked hard. It didn't function to it's possible potential. There was a definite lack of a manager. Staff were unable to mange a lot of the time. There were no yoga facilities, in spite of being advertised. Bathroom towels were frequently not available due, seemingly, to the laundry not delivering them. I was cold at night and in spite of requesting an extra sheet or a duvet, this didn't happen, unfortunately.

Superb
Pros:

Very friendly staff who wanted to make the stay as comfortable as possible.
Very large pool which was a lovely temperature.
Very large comfortable rooms, with nice toiletries and air con.
Good breakfast
Facilities to have daily massages and other wellness treatments, however didn't make use of this on our stay.

Cons:

WiFi is currently only available in the rooms, but the connection is good. Staff informed us there are plans to install WiFi across the whole site in the next couple of months.
Staff would benefit from some training on how to use the new card machine in order to take payments.
