Pros:

Удачное расположение, чистый пляж, вежливый персонал. Очень порадовали плавающие разноцветные рыбки на территории. С удовольствием остановлюсь еще раз в этом отеле.

Cons:

В соседнем отеле идет ремонт, работает болгарка весь день, очень шумно на всей территории.
В номере сильно шумит холодильник, выключала на ночь.
Жалюзи на окнах плохо регулируются, держаться на тоненьких веревочках.

Did Not Check In
Pros:

I did not check in to the hotel for my stay as the facilities were not as advertised and I was to be the only guest.
The garden view room overlooked a rooftop
There is no Bar facility
The beach is fenced off
A shame as with some care it could be a nice place
To be fair the gentleman on reception handled my cancellation with grace and I was not charged.

Overall, the stay was okay, with some nice features but also a few areas that need improvement.
Pros:

1. There was a fish pond along the corridor (the walking path from the entrance to the room), which was very nice and relaxing to watch.
2. We had to ask for the Wi-Fi password, but once we received it, the connection was strong. The TV in the room could also connect to YouTube, which was a great feature.
3. The staff were friendly and polite, and always had a pleasant attitude.

Cons:

1. The room floor felt sticky underfoot, which was unpleasant.
2. There was not much variety in the breakfast buffet.
3. Our room door was quite old and made a loud noise when closing, which was uncomfortable and disruptive.
4. There were no floor mats in the bathroom. Also, although the room had a kettle and coffee, there were no spoons provided.

Pros:

Customer service was excellent, and every request was handled by staff with great care. They have only a few quiet choices for dinner, and we selected from the à la carte menu. Despite the limited options, the food was really tasty. The location is calm and peaceful perfect for a relaxing break. Highly recommended, and we will visit again.

Für eine Nacht war das Hotel total in Ordnung und wirklich gut und empfehlenswert. Der Preis ist meiner Meinung nach abe
Pros:

Sehr freundlicher Check in und man wurde sogar angeschrieben, ob man etwas zu essen haben möchte da wir erst spät am Flughafen gelandeten sind.
Das Personal ist wirklich überaus freundlich und extrem hilfsbereit.
Die Zimmer sind in einem modernen Stil eingerichtet und relativ groß. Generell ist das Hotel trotzdem nicht mehr auf dem modernsten stand

Cons:

Sehr laut in der Nacht, da viele Kröten in den umliegenden Teichen und wir hatten leider Ungeziefer im Zimmer. (Nicht nur Ameisen oder sowas)
Die Lage ist schon sehr weit vom Schuss und eher empfehlenswert für eine Rundreise nach Süden und einer späten Landung am Flughafen in Colombo.
