Il y a trop de musique.

Pros:

חדרים מקסימים, אנשים מקסימים. מומלץ להגיע בדרך המאתגרת עם סירת עץ כשאת המזוודות לוקחים בקופסא באומגה מעל הנהר. מסעדה חמודה במלון - צריך מאוד מאוד להדגיש במידה ולא רוצים אוכל חריף.

Pros:

Great location surrounded by the rain forest.
Good pool and possible to play snooker.

Cons:

Too much music all the time.
It would have been better to hear birds in the morning rather than techno music...

Very bad hotel and bad experience
Pros:

The location near river

Cons:

Our stay was extremely disappointing and nowhere near a five-star experience. Despite paying USD 165 per night after discount, we waited 25 minutes for someone to collect our luggage, the Wi-Fi was terrible, and the bathroom was not properly cleaned—we found dirt under the toilet seat, and even after someone came to fix it, a strong glue smell remained for more than 24 hours. Construction and maintenance work started at 8:00 a.m., so we woke up to loud drilling and banging instead of birdsong. At 11:00 p.m., an employee switched off the lights in the billiards area and told us it was closing, while no one was available at reception and the receptionist was found sleeping on the floor. The waiters had no proper uniforms or suitable shoes and appeared dressed for a party rather than working at a five-star hotel. There was no fridge in the room, the food was poor, and breakfast consisted of little more than fruit, tea, coffee, and an omelette. Overall, this hotel does not deserve its five-star rating—in our experience, even one star would be generous.

Schönes Hotel mit einer tollen Ausblick.
Pros:

Die Lage ist toll. Wir sind mit dem Boot zum Hotel gefahren, der Gepäcktransport ist mal was anderes :-)

Cons:

Aufgrund von einer Hotelerweiterung war unser Zimmerausblick nicht so schön. Da wir nur eine Nacht dort waren und auch kaum am Zimmer, hat uns das nicht beeinträchtigt.
Das Bad ist in Ordnung. Wenn man duscht ist allerdings das halbe Bad nass.

Right by the river
Pros:

The location of the resort was great, right by the river and the staff even had kayaks out for us to use. The resort looks nice, giving a relaxing vibe with a yoga setup but in the evening they would put on loud pop music which took away the tranquil feel of the place and it seemed to clash with the yoga setup. The food was ok but they didn't have enough for all the guests. Felt it was a bit over priced for what they offered.

Cons:

The loud music in the evening.

מקום מיוחד מאד, לא לוותר עליו!
Pros:

מקום מאד מאד יפה ומיוחד, מעוצב מודרני בטוב טעם. בריכה נעימה ומחוממת.
הבעלים מקסים ומאד עוזר, היו קצת תקלות פה ושם אבל כל דבר טופל וסודר באופן כמעט מיידי. אוכל מצוין, מומלץ לסגור חצי פנסיון כי המקום קצת מרוחק. הצוות מקסים ומאד עוזר.

Cons:

הוייפיי היה בעייתי אבל הצוות ממש ניסה לעזור.
היתה לנו בעיה של הצפה של מים במקלחת אבל הצוות סידר.

המלון הכי טוב שהיינו בו בסרי לנקה
Pros:

אהבנו הכל- שירות נפלא, המלון יפיפה, הבריכה נעימה. עשינו קייקים עם הילדים בחינם כחלק מהשירות של המלון. התפריט מגוון והאוכל טעים. החדרים נוחים מאוד והנוף מקסים. מבחינתנו מקום מושלם

Cons:

כדאי לבקש עוד שמיכה עבה יותר ללילה

נהדר!! אל תהססו בכלל!!!
Pros:

מקום חלומי!! זה גן עדן עלי אדמות. היינו רוצים להישאר עוד ולצערנו לא יכולנו. הצוות נהדר ומקסים. המנהל דאג לנו אישית וסידר לנו רופא ובדיקות מחוץ לשעות הפעילות. היו מאד גמישים איתנו עם ארוחות. בקיצור, מקום מושלם!!!

Cons:

אין. הכל נהדר. זה מקום אוטופי. לא דמיינו שיכול להיות מקום אמיתי יפה כל כך.

Prachtig locatie, jammer van de bouwwerken
Pros:

Een prachtige locatie aan de rivier. Het hotel heeft een mooi restaurant, mooi zwembad. Je kan er echt een dagje relaxen. Het hotel is heel netjes en de ‘housekeeper’ ziet alles en wil het je naar je zin maken.

Cons:

Er zijn bouwwerken bezig aan het hotel. Je zit echt tussen 2 werven met HEEL veel bouwvakkers en HEEL veel lawaai vooral aan het zwembad. Dit van in de vroege uurtjes tot in de late avond, 7 op 7. De barmannen lopen vooral rond en alles duurt HEEL lang.
