Pros:

Les faux sourires

Cons:

FUYEZ CET HOTEL. VOLS ! Le vol de mes affaires dans mes sacs : j ai laissé mes bagages dans leur "locker", une pièce fermée par un cadenas dont les clefs sont dans le bureau de la réception. A mon retour, les bagages semblaient dans le même état extérieurement. Quand plus tard j ai voulu ouvrir le sac, le cadenas était bloqué : il avait été forcé et remis en le forçant. Tout a été méticuleusement fouillé des objets électroniques volés , et des JEUX D ENFANT ! MAIS QUI VOLE DES ENFANTS ? Cet hôtel est à fuir, je n ai jamais vu ça au Sri Lanka ni ailleurs. L'hôtel décline toute responsabilité et couvre son voleur membre de leur équipe. Je suis en route pour porter plainte au commissariat. Je crois au Karma.

Pros:

Delicious breakfast of string hoppers with dhal and coconut Sambal! The room was good and the gardens were so lovely. We didn’t explore the area as we had flown in late and left after breakfast but the staff were nice and it was close to the airport

Luxurious and quirky stay in fantastic botanical garden
Pros:

Set in a beautiful garden full of butterflies, rare medicinal plants and orchids. The rooms were very large, modern and superbly decorated. All the facilities are new and modern. It is well set up for a luxury pool at a very affordable price. The pool was also very nice offering the possibility of a proper swim. The staff were welcoming and tried very hard to make the stay as comfortable as possible. They were willing to help but….see below.

Cons:

The staff, though numerous and friendly seemed to have no idea how the hotel runs. They did not know what food was available and service was very slow (but food is cooked freshly to order). Nobody offered any drinks or accompaniments like bread with soup, for example. We had to direct the chef to get a simple veg curry with rice. When it was time to make up the final bill they took a very long time to find out what we had eaten and to add the two amounts. Then they forgot to charge for the room! With a little more staff training and better management this hotel could offer a much better customer experience.

Nice and friendly staff. The accommodation served its purpose.
Pros:

We stayed there only one night on the way from airport. The staff arranged taxi driver from airport and waited for us till the night because we arrived at 2:30 a.m.

A retreat almost with a fraction of the cost, for nature lovers
Pros:

It seems to have the whole place and garden for ourselves to explore and relax. The staff are courteous, obliging, friendly and discrete. Butterflies and birds abound, cute squirrels outside our balcony. Lots and greenery around to keep cool. Very quiet at nights for a good sleep. We enjoyed the clean and shady pool. Breakfast are very generous and tasty and the chief toned down the salt and chilli just for our dish so 3 hats for the restaurant! We arrived late at night and the manager stayed late to welcome us and making sure that the assigned driver met us at the airport. They also tried to desperately contact us when we forgot one bag at checking out. We also asked for one extra bed at the time of booking and this was done too. Our interaction with staff are very pleasurable, from the lady who water the plants daily to the lady at reception desk, still remembering their smiles. Exceeding values for money

Cons:

Nothing that affect our enjoyment

Sehr zu empfehlen
Pros:

Ein perfektes Hotel für die erste oder letzte Nacht. Sehr freundliches Personal, saubere Zimmer und ein gutes Restaurant dabei. Preis-Leistung-Top. Auf Wunsch ist der Flughafentransfer inkludiert - hat super geklappt für uns. Ein Plus ist der wunderschöne Garten mit vielen verschiedenen Pflanzen. Sehr zu empfehlen!
