Pros:

This hotel was so luxurious right from the moment we checked in to check out. The staff went the extra mile to make sure our stay was comfortable from our welcome iced tea (which was the nicest iced tea I had whilst in Sri Lanka) to the incredible five course breakfast and the coffee at our door from 0630 - we really could have have asked for much more. The bedroom was really clean and bed super comfortable. The little common room was a nice touch and the 360 view point at the room was really special.

Cons:

Nothing
