Komisyon peşinde koşan her şeye hizmet bedeli yansıtan konum olarak da çok saçma bir yerde olan otel
Pros:

Sadece resepsiyon ve restauranttaki arkadaşları.

Cons:

Tuvalet ve banyo hiç hijyenik değildi Kötü kokuyordu.Havuz kenarında 1 tane İngilizce bilen biri yok ve havuz kenarında bar olmasına rağmen hiç bir ürün yok.sipariş verip yarım saat beklemeniz gerekiyor.üstüne üstelik yediğimiz yemekler istediğimiz sular ve kahveler için tek tek çok uçuk kuver ücretleri yazılmış.taksi çağırttık 4 bin istediler sonra kendimiz çağırdık 1300 Sri Lanka parasına geldik.komisyon kovalayan garip bi yer.konum olarak zaten kötü bir yerde.tercih etmeyeceğim bir otel

Solved overbooking issue
Pros:

The hotel is in a very nice area, a bit far away from the main village. The room was clean and quiet, unlike what many reviews say. The breakfast buffet was good, but not memorable. The hotel was very busy with a large group of travellers. If it wasn't for Niroshaan, however, our stay would have been disastrous. He took good care of us after some initial problems. He's been the star of our stay, and did what he could to make up for the issues caused to us.

Cons:

I'm giving 9/10 as the hotel overbooked and initially lied to us. Unfortunately, they initially tried to scam us by claiming our payment didn't go through, that they were cancelling our reservation due to our fault, and then pressured us to change to a lower-category room. This is 1) against booking.com TOS; 2) caused major inconvenience, and forced me first to call my bank and booking.com (both denied my card was the problem), double check my credit card was working correctly, book another hotel as a backup, argue with the property, all just a few days before departure, and far away from home. Ultimately, after a lot of arguing, the hotel managed to find us a room. We found out they simply overbooked. However, I'd expect that if I didn't argue, our treatment would have been very bad. Only after insisting, and writing them bad reviews, they changed attitude. This is not how a fine establishment should operate, and I do hope the team in charge of managing bookings will improve: they should not lie to customers.

Lovely stay, amazing staff
Pros:

Amazing staff, very helpful and welcoming and checking on us on a regular basis
Huge pool - perfect for swimming
Nice food selection at the buffet
Getting some lovely grilled prawns delivered to the room which were off the menu. Being a part of naturę - a bit like uks Centreparcs but with monkeys and peacocks around

Cons:

A la carte menu a bit lacking, would have been nice to have room service menu in the rooms
Blinds badly needed across the entrance door as very light - we had to hook up blinds from the side to the other side to cover the middle bit which didn’t have black out blinds
poor internet connection
Lack of fan on the veranda - it was almost impossible to sit outside it was SO hot
Terrible bread at the buffet
Communal areas in need of revamp
Shame dinner only started at 7.30 pm

Exception Spacious Room
Pros:

The room was exceptionally big. In fact a lot bigger than I imagined it. With the price I am paying, it definitely worth every penny I spent.

Pros:

Vaihtui hotelli korjaustöiden vuoksi lähemmäksi Lions rockkia niin en tiedä.

Cons:

Kaikki oli oikein hienosti. Retkipalvelut oli kalliin oloisia niinkuin hotellilta aina.
