Cons:

This hotel is absolutely worthless. We paid 272€ for both nights and we cancelled after one night and got a refund. Im sri lankan and my girl friend is german and we booked this hotel for a nice experience but this ruined our mood. We were the only guests in the hotel. In the night one of the hotel staff decided to have his own karaoke party, and had a huge loud speaker playing sinhala songs and he was singing with a microphone with his friend. There were no other workers in this hotel apart from this guy and his friend at that time to even complain. The music was absolutely loud we couldnt even sleep we even heard it in our room at the 2nd floor. Once I told him to stop it he did. Then the next day they decided not to give us the buffet because we were the only people in the hotel as guests. So they gave us an a la carte with their own serving. They messed up this as well. The food was very cold and the sausages were so dry. We told them to put onions in our breakfast two times but they didnt. I dont know why the staff even get paid. We asked for water and they took 15 minutes to bring us water. Oh and we had to pay for the water as well. My girlfriend accidently left her cap in the pool bed and when we inquired about it the hotel said the workers never found the cap. They said they asked all the workers. We were the only guests in the hotel so there is no one that could have taken this Ralph Lauren cap other than a worker there. later I showed the video evidence of where the cap was and told them to check the cctv cameras. And suddenly they said they found a the cap in the breakfast area. So definitely they found that a worker took it and made it appear in the breakfast area where we never took the cap to. Avoid this hotel at all costs.

Patenkinamai.
Pros:

Pusryčiai kaip 5 žvaigždučių viešbučiui skurdoki,mažai vaisių,patiekalai atšalę.Už normalę kavą reikia mokėti atskirai arba turi gerti birzgalą.

Cons:

Neturėrų 5 žvaigždučių viešbutis imti pinigus per pusryčius už kavą.Paprašėme iškepti blynelių pasakė,kad šiandien nekepame nors kitiems mačiau nunešė.

נוף ים משגע
Pros:

המלון עצמו יפה החצר מהממת. חוף הים הצמוד פנטסטי. .החדר גדול ונח. היתה גם פינת עבודה (שולחן וכיסא למחשב) וגם סלון קטן. ומעל הכל הנוף במרפסת- ישר על הים .

Cons:

המזגן עשה רעשים מוזרים הקפיא ולא הצלחתי לשלוט על הטמפרטורה. (לא הגיב לשלט) המזרון לא היה לי נח. המלון מאוד גדול והייתי אורחת כמעט יחידה וזה הרגיש מוזר

Cons:

В ванной все в плесени, в номере грязно, постоянно выключался свет (из-за этого ночью переставал работать кондиционер). На завтраке есть почти нечего

Great location, but a run down hotel.
Pros:

The location is good, the facilities are good. They were very helpful with a small passport related emergency.

Cons:

The hotel is a little run down, with some stained linens and irregular housekeeping. They would provide water bottles but would say that we needed to pay extra for them; however, they did provide them the one time they cleaned our room. The bathroom vents need deep cleaning because they smell bad. The food is average. The tea and coffee are served cold during breakfast, and so are the curries. The place does not seem to be value for money.

Pros:

Чудесный вид на море из номера. Сам номер неплох, но ничего необычного. В целом всё хорошо.

Cons:

На мой взгляд цена сильно завышена. Да, это Шри-Ланка, но за такие деньги практически в любой азиатской стране можно снять люксовые апартаменты со всякими там джакузи и окнами в пол на 30м этаже
