Niet bevallen
Pros:

De kamer was prima met prachtig uitzicht. Bij het hotel kan je een bootsafari boeken, dat kan ook op andere plekken in Bentota. De bootsafari was erg leuk

Cons:

Het hotel is niet geschikt voor toeristen. Het hotel bevat 2 grote feestzalen en er worden daar veel conferenties en feesten gegeven wat resulteert in zeer veel geluidsoverlast in de kamer. Wij zijn 2 dagen geweest en beide dagen hebben we geluidsoverlast gehad. De tweede nacht begon het feest om 23 uur tot 4 uur ‘s nachts. De geluidsoverlast is echt heftig.

Wasn't great
Pros:

N/A

Cons:

There was no English breakfast and we asked if they had eggs to which they said no. Later saw they did an egg to an English man. Which was quite disappointing. We did ask before booking if there would be buffets for dinner or breakfast, they said yes and kn the daboth breakfast and lunch had no buffets. We did ask and was told because there quite a few people so wasn't worth doing it. So we were given false information.

Value stay, great view.
Pros:

Loved the view from the rooms. The rooms are spacious and clean with adequate amenities. The washroom layout is a little weird, with the bathtub unnecessarily taking up too much space and the shower having very little space and placed in a strange spot. But the hotel is great, right on the river with a great view of the backwaters. They have a nice lawn area near the pool which is great to eat and click pictures. It's also a wedding place so the place was quite lively.

Cons:

Breakfast was really disappointing. Especially for vegetarian options, there was hardly anything available except for Bread and juice. The restaurant in general has very limited options for veg even for room service. Should be better. Also water and things should be available 24 hours which was a little challenge.

Room and view excellent, Rest of it needs updating, and staff need to focus on guests
Pros:

The room and view was excellent, breakfast was ok. Although limited on two days that the hotel held a function

Cons:

The Hotel on the ground floor looked very tired and is in need of decoration
The Hotel seems to thrive on the Corporate, Banqueting and other functions, and when they have a function the guests seem to take a back seat
Pool area good but 4 out of six sun beds were broken.
Downstairs conservatory could do with brightening up and the garden areas could be made much more inviting
