Bel hôtel mais chambre bruyante
Pros:

L’hôtel est vraiment sympa et le cadre est agréable.

Cons:

Dommage que le bruit rende parfois le repos un peu difficile Emplacement de la chambre trop bruyante. Le dernier jour vers minuit, j’ai eu le droit à un cafard de grande taille. Obligé de soulever le lit pour l’extraire.

Beautiful property... experience better than the price tag
Pros:

The rooms and facilities were great - nicely sized, overlooking the pool.
The beach was all yours - almost your private beach.
The staff was friendly and helpful - across the board.
Overall experience was worth more than what we paid.

Cons:

At dinner, you could only have the dinner buffet at the main restaurant - which was way too much food.
Sadly the ala carte food wasn't great and had limited options (for example: very few soups/ salads), and there aren't many restaurants at walking distance.
So a bit stuck, come dinner time.
Also, there are local vendors that hound you once you hit the beach.... they walk along side you.

２泊したが、プールにゆっくり浸かる時間がなかったので残念だった。またいつか泊まりたいホテル。
Pros:

エントランスから入った瞬間に目に飛び込んで来る景色が最高。夕食の後、海岸を散歩するとプールとその奥に美しくライトアップされた建物がとても美しかった。
後は何よりも食事！朝食も夕食も選び切れないくらい豊富な種類のバイキングで、味も良くてとても満足。

Cons:

初日「スリランカへ来て初めて湯船に浸かれる！」と喜んだのも束の間、湯船の栓が見当たらず断念。後で、バスタブ周りの黒い部分に黒い栓があった事が発覚。翌日は掃除の後、白いバスタブ脇に置いてあったので良かった。
バスルームのドアが閉まらず半開き、その点が残念だった。
