A very nice four days here at the start our holiday to climatise from the UK
Pros:

We had a very nice four days here at the start our holiday to climatise from the UK. Arriving early in the morning we were able to get into our room and sleep before breakfast, a tasty selection. The staff are amazing, the garden is gorgeous, lots of shady areas for loungers (comfy-ish) and the pool is perfect and also with some shade. Very peaceful in the garden with the sound of the birds and the waves. We saw many birds flying around, it’s a birders paradise. Our room was comfy and enjoyed the sea and sunset views. Curry is made to order and very yummy, a shame Sri Lankan music isn’t played in the dinning area. Lovely walk along the beach. It’s 25 mins by tuc tuc to visit Negombo from here, worth a mornings visit. Thank you Ziegler for a lovely start.

Cons:

Didn’t like the strange jazz music in the dining area. Local music would be better.

Pros:

Hotel s pěkným zázemím a skvělým personálem.

Cons:

Při objednávání pobytu , prohlédnutí fotografií a přečtení recenzí, nebylo z ničeho patrné, že se nedá v moři koupat . / až na místě nám byl sdělen zákaz koupání ohledně korálů /. Museli jsme jezdit asi 11 km. Hotel je vhodný využít po a nebo před odletem na 1 noc.

Ein schöner ruhiger Ort, um vor der Abreise zurück nach Hause nochmals auszuspannen. Der kleine aber feine Pool, der direkte Zugang zum Strand und die ruhige Lage sind perfekt.

Świetne zakończenie podróży
Pros:

Hotel jest świetny na zakończenie lub rozpoczęcie podróży. Hotel ma świetną część rekreacyjną - basen w ogrodzie z leżakami, dostępne są też ręczniki basenowe. Hotel położony tuż przy linia morza, w dzielnicy zdominowanej przez domku lub małe hoteliki/ pensjonaty. Dobre śniadania i dania z karty, w rozsądnych cenach. Na pozytywną uwagę zasługuje personel, który jest fantastyczny - uśmiechnięty, pomocny. Hotel organizuje transport i wycieczki po Negombo, Colombo i na obserwację ptaków, którą polecam (ok 2h w godzinach porannych, udało nam się zobaczyć bardzo wiele ptaków, których nie mamy w Polsce, w tym lokalnego Orła oraz ogromne warany).

Cons:

Hotel potrzebuje odświerzenia. Widać, że jest już zniszczony po odpadającym tynku. W jednej łazience mieliśmy też nieprzyjemny zapach. Widok z pokoi na niższych piętrach nie jest rewelacyjny, owszem widać kawałek morza, ale głownie suszące się pranie. Najlepszy widok był z ostatniego piętra, na dachu.

Fabulous - location and staff wonderful!!
Pros:

Great location, easy pick up from the airport and the Hotel Manager Lucky was very attentive and sorted transfer, tours and taxi for us - very helpful and friendly - Sadeera was a fabulous driver - looked after us on our trip to Kandy and taking in all local sights and attractions, Kushan was a great restaurant manager - excellent food, small hotel so tell them what you want and freshly collected - my Mud Crab meal was lovely and the staff overall couldn’t do enough for us, was all fabulous.

Cons:

A little dated but had everything needed. Would definitely return here and hope to come back next year!!

Pros:

Posizione, vista stanza, gentilezza, possibilità di pranzare e cenare in hotel

Cons:

Acqua per la doccia tiepida e non calda, ma si sente poco la necessità perché il clima è sempre caldo.
La camera potrebbe essere più arieggiata (più finestre).
