Chilled vibes, free parking , and you can show off your grilling skills at the barbecue. Wi-Fi works. Cable TV is there, but hey, who needs cable in paradise?
Oh, and did I mention the amazing mosquitoes? They kept me company all night, adding that adventurous touch to my stay.

Our room was good sized and the bed was comfy. Having access to the pool was great. Pizza Hub, where you can eat, is an easy walk to the hotel.

Free parking, close to the beach and temple. The hotel has Wi-Fi, a picnic area, and BBQ grills. The on-site bar is a plus. Enjoyed the cable TV and the convenience of having a desk. I also loved the option of renting a bike.
Loved everything, absolutely nothing to complain about.

Tasty breakfast with a variety of food options to choose from. The hotel is conveniently located not too far from Gal Oya airport, which made our travel easy. We had a great time here and thank the staff for their hospitality. 🌴

This hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from the beach and the town center. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The pool was a real highlight, with crystal clear water and a fun waterfall that our kids loved. We also appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms and the delicious food served at the restaurant.
The lack of reliable Wi-Fi in our room. Although the hotel offers complimentary Wi-Fi, the signal was weak and often dropped out.

The hotel location is great for exploring the area, with easy access to nearby attractions and restaurants. the pool is clean and well-maintained, which was perfect for a relaxing swim. the staff were friendly and helpful, always available to answer any questions.
The cleanliness of the rooms left something to be desired, with dirty towels and sheets that were not changed upon request. the air conditioning in our room also struggled to keep us cool during the hotter days.

We had a great experience staying at this resort for a few nights. the location was convenient, being close to the city center and the best beach in the area. the staff was friendly and helpful, always providing great tips on what to see and do in the city. the rooms were clean, and the bathroom was well-maintained. We enjoyed the delicious and generous breakfasts, and the swimming pool was spotless. the resort was also beautifully landscaped, with nice grounds to explore.
An issue with the coffee and dishes piling up in the room, but the staff were friendly and consistently worked to resolve the issue.
