Great team
Pros:

We had a wonderful time here. The views are absolutely stunning, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the food and drinks were excellent. We especially loved the rooftop restaurant and the team of chefs.
Joining the staff for the Christmas cake mixing was also a lovely experience and made our stay even more memorable.

Cons:

The rooms are starting to feel a little old and worn and could benefit from refurbishment. There was also an unpleasant stale smell in our room during the rainy weather, which affected our comfort despite the room being cleaned.
As we visited during a very wet period, we were unable to fully enjoy some of the facilities, and there were occasions when there were a lot of insects. However, given the property's natural setting and the amount of rain, this is something guests should probably expect and prepare for.
My preference: Option 1. It keeps your review fair and credible because you're clearly distinguishing between things the hotel can improve, such as the rooms and smell, and things associated with the natural environment, such as insects during heavy rain.
I also removed the statement that the smell was caused by cleaning equipment not being dried properly. Unless the hotel specifically confirmed that, it is better not to state the cause as a fact.

Pros:

The hosts, the breakfasts and the shower were all the best we’ve had in our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka!!
Comfy bed, big clean room, good AC, gave us fresh cold water every day, beach towels and even gave us a home made bracelet as we left!
We loved our stay and can’t thank them enough!
Also easy walk down to the beach & resto’s (5-10mins)
