Cons:

Sink in d breakfast area could have been kept bit cleaner though it was ok.

Not up to standard
Pros:

We appreciated the friendly staff and the rooms were satisfactory.

Cons:

However, the dinner experience was disappointing. The food quality was poor, and after briefly seeing the kitchen area, I was concerned about the cleanliness and hygiene standards. This is something that definitely needs improvement.

Good location to stay if you are Visiting Anuradhapura cultural triangle
Pros:

If you are visiting the cultural triangle this is quite the palce to saty and its just few minutes to Ruwanwelisaya and 20 Minutes to Mihintale and all this sites in between. The staff are really frendly and accomodative. The Chef was like his face a kind and frendly. Kids are welcome and accomodated quite safe place.

Super!
Pros:

Zeer positieve ervaring in Monaara Leisure. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Vanuit het zwembad heb je een mooi uitzicht over de rijstvelden, waar je tientallen soorten vogels kunt spotten!

Cons:

Douchegordijn in de douche was niet top. Frigootje op de kamer voor water zou leuk zijn, maar niet persé noodzakelijk.

Emplacement calme aux abords de rizières
Pros:

L emplacement etait très bien. Le personnel est très gentil.
Mon chauffeur a pu dormir également.
La piscine à la vue sur les rizières. En avril, fin de récolte mais nous avons vu les paysans travailler les champs.
Le dîner est un buffet, il y a du choix mais ce n etait pas assez typique pour nous.
