Pros:

Very quiet location. The gardens are very impressive.
Our room was clean and all we wanted.

Cons:

It can be a bit tricky to find. Google did not help .
Maybe better signage will help.

Pros:

Staff sympa, aidant et réactif. Agréablement surpris par cet hôtel que nous avions choisi pour sa proximité avec l’aéroport et qui s’est avéré spacieux, confortable et agréable.

Garden of Eden
Pros:

What a beautiful location to end my time in Sri Lanka. I felt as though I had found the garden of Eden there are no words to explain the beauty and calming environment that is the surroundings of this hotel the butterfly gardens…. Just WOW.
The staff are incredible especially Nethira who constantly went out of her way to help me with some personal challenges I was facing.
I can not recommend a better way to end a beautiful holiday in Sri Lanka than do stay within these beautiful grounds.
The Hotel itself is clean comfortable and well serviced.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the whole team this is a magical place I will never forget.

Cons:

Fresh Fruit with breakfast would of made it perfect.

Beautiful place and positive energy
Pros:

The staff was great! Very warm, trusting and accomodating! The room was also very good. I had 3 meals at the property and they were all excellent! The garden was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Very lush, dense, fast growing vegetation everywhere you looked! It would take an enormous amount of work just to prevent the jungle from overtaking the place! The amount of trees, vines, orchids, cacti, and you name it, is impressive!
There is a positive energy that can be felt everywhere, from the moment you step into the reception area and throughout the entire place. I highly recommend this property!

Cons:

When I booked the room, I was under the impression that the airport transfer was free. At the property, I was told that I had not selected the room price with the free airport transfer.

Meer noodzakelijk verblijf dan dat ik hier echt enkele dagen zou willen verblijven.
Pros:

De locatie, je bent in een paar minuten van vliegveld in het hotel. Vriendelijke mensen. Lekker eten!

Cons:

Enorme stank in de badkamer. In de kamer was alles een beetje vervallen en aan vervanging toe. Geen comfortabele zitplekken. Afstandbediening van airco werkte niet. Meerder keren gevraagd en hier is niks aan gedaan.

Pros:

Staff very helpful. Pool was huge, cooler than most we've swam in in Sri Lanka but because it was so hot, it was most welcome. Room was a good size with AC, kettle and tea/coffee facilities. Towels provided for room and pool. Ate a meal there that was very tasty and well priced. Bottled water provided. Bed very comfortable

Cons:

Room was a bit musty but once AC cooled the room down it was fine. Hotel area in the country, area a bit run down and overgrown but hotel itself, the ground floor rooms, were ok
