Pleasant stay thanks to the staff, though not quite 5 stars
Pros:

The staff really went above and beyond to compensate for the hotel's downsides. We received a free upgrade to a significantly better room in the renovated part of the hotel. Moreover, they treated us to a surprise afternoon tea with light bites right by the infinity pool. Overall, despite the issues with the facilities, we are extremely satisfied with the level of service we received.

Cons:

The hotel doesn't quite live up to its 5-star rating. There is an older, unrenovated section where the overall appearance and furniture are quite worn out. They haven't put much thought into guest entertainment—there are a few table tennis tables, but the paddles and balls are in terrible condition, and the pool table doesn't even have chalk. We tried the massages but were not satisfied. Furthermore, there is nothing interesting around the hotel: no sights, no places for a walk, and no shopping. We constantly had to rely on taxis, which were both expensive and never arrived on time. Another very frustrating issue was the pricing. Even though we booked half a year in advance, we found out that making a last-minute booking on the same day or directly at the hotel is actually cheaper. This pricing policy feels completely illogical and unfair to early bookers.

Highlight of our stay in Kandy
Pros:

This was a fantastic hotel, one of the best we've stayed in. The staff gave us a warm welcome and were friendly and helpful during our stay. The room was spacious & clean and the view from the balcony over the rice fields and valley was amazing. There were 2 outdoor pools and the main infinity pool again had fantastic views. The buffet dinner had lots of choice and the food & drinks were reasonably priced. Overall a really good stay and highly recommend.

Pros:

Sijainti oli hyvä, näköala upea. Allasalue oli viihtyisä. Henkilökunta palvelulatista.

Cons:

Ala carte ravintola oli surkea kokemus. Kahvi oli huonoa, aamupalaa lukuunottamatta ravintolassa tarjottiin pikakahvia mikä oli pettymys.

Pros:

מלון מושלם! לכבוד חגיגות ירח הדבש שלנו קישטו לנו את החדר והשאירו לנו עוגה (טעימה ברמות!), בנוסף החדר מהמם עם מרפסת לנוף ירוק ומקסים. הוא מצויד בכל מה שצריך ומעבר - יש גם אמבטיה מפנקת וגם חדר נפרד למקלחון. מעבר לכך קיים חדר משחקים עם טניס שולחן, שולחנות סנוקר וכדורגל שולחן לשימוש האורחים עם נוף עוצר נשימה. וכמובן בריכת האינפיניטי המפנקת בגג - פשוט מושלם! ממליצים ממש!

Cons:

אהבנו הכל!
