Not for couples or individual travellers
Pros:

+ Dinner is great
+ Beautiful resort
+ Friendly staff

- Bad beds
- Large groups of tourists arrive by bus make noise, also at night
- unstable wifi connection
- dirty/outdated rooms
- no follow up on requests by reservation

It feels like they prioritize the large groups of tourists above individual bookings

Van buiten mooier dan in het echt. Maar prima hotel
Pros:

Receptie gedeelte en zwembaden waren mooi!

Cons:

De kamer was niet zoals op de foto’s. We zaten ook niet in het hoofdgebouw maar aan de overkant van de weg. Alles was gewoon een beetje oud. En het bed, het matras was doorgezakt, je rolde naar t midden toe.

Забыть как страшный сон!!!!
Pros:

Бронировал за 5 месяцев, основывался на отзывах, фотографиях и наличии бассейна - и полнейшее разочарование, бассейн в другом месте - и солнце только с 10 до 14....хотя сам бассейн чистый. Больше ничего не понравилось.

Cons:

По порядку:
1. Нас повели при заселении через дорогу, где отсутствует пешеходный переход, к другому комплексу, о чем при бронировании ни слова!!! к отдельному корпусу с отдельным бассейном.
2. Номер достался 501. И это КОШМАР!!!! Вместо заявленной большой одной кровати - 2 сдвинутые??????и это с мягкими продавленными матрасами....
3. В удобствах бронирования - помещение полностью находится на первом этаже! больные колени, думал как хорошо - только это оказался номер на втором этаже.
4. написано Балкон, но и балкона нет - есть узкий проход к номерам!!!!
5. Телевизор - сначала пришлось попросить чтоб заработал, в итоге 5 каналов, из них 2 одинаковых, один англоязычный завис. Смех!!!!
6. Вид из окна - это просто издевательство!!!! Его нет!!!В этот номер никогда не приходит солнце!!!
7. Запах плесени и сырости!!!
8. Сейф - просто не работает, свистит только....
9. Дверь в ванную комнату не закрывается совсем.
10. Входную дверь нельзя зарыть на задвижку - сломана.
11. Прикроватная тумбочка не закрывается. Столик - не открывается. Вся мебель кривая и двери плохо работают.
12. Отдохнуть у бассейна тихо не возможно - по пять-шесть работников по балконам-проходам носятся с уборкой и громко кричат...зачем?
13. Провели у бассейна 3 часа, никто не пришел убирать этот гадкий номер, потом пошел дождь-пошли в номер - и тут пришли с уборкой. фантастика.
14. Завтрак обычный, посредственный, и нужно ходить через дорогу, обслуга на завтраке - просто толпа бездельников.
15. При встрече вынесли латунного петуха, жгли свечи, фотографировали - и поселили в конуру. Пафоса много - толку мало. Жалобы не подействовали.
16. и зубную щетку положили одну на двоих!!!! Экономят???
17. Сушильная машина - где это? что это?
18 Особо по оплате - 152 доллара за 2 дня за этот УЖАС???? и при оплате, заявленной в долларах не могут с долларовой карты списать доллары. ???

Redelijk hotel met goede locatie en mooie zwembad
Pros:

Grote badkamer en een mooue zwembad. Locatie op de hoofdweg was prima.

Cons:

Er zijn 2 gebouwen. Beide met een mooie zwembad. We zaten op de oude gebouw. De kamer was erg moef en vochtig. Handdoeken waren niet schoon (zelfs 1 met gaten). Bedden niet echt conformtabel. De kamers.moeten gerenoveerd worden met betere ventilatie.

Bloody awful
Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

False advertising. ‘Deluxe’ is their basic room and should be more like $30 than the $100 charged. Dirty old towels, poor hot water, really basic rooms (feels like sleeping in a bathroom). Staff were really noisy outside the rooms early in the morning. I’d suggest finding somewhere else to stay unless you want to feel miserable!

Nice at first glance, but sadly not well maintained
Pros:

Nice location and lovely garden with decent size family pool. Very frew sunbeds and umbrellas but good quality. Rooms are good size with nice balcony. At first glance things look really nice. Sadly neither the pool area nor the room were well maintained. Especially the bathroom was nowhere near 4*: bathtub without any curtain or glass shield, shower hose leaky and not long enough, bathroom sink tap loose, shelf for soap hanging on one screw, dirty cup in the bathroom. TV not working very well. Aircon quite loud, but working ok. Furniture quite basic but ok. Beds decent. We were half board, both buffet. Selection and quality ok at both breakfast and dinner, but again not 4*. This hotel has the potential to be a really good 3-4* hotel if they maintained the property better. As it is today, I would probably not choose this hotel again.

Sigirya hotel with family friendly pool
Pros:

The setting is nice with a lovely swimming pool. They could do with improving the lighting (either to bright or not enough), more towels, phone & TV don't work - Fab works sorted of - & they could do with serving up more authentic food ( I found a hair in the fish soup - not ideal!).
