We were all inclusive at a very good price . Food was fine, buffet every meal except for a few lunchtimes when the hotel was nearly empty and it was a set meal which was freshly cooked.

After reading the reviews on this page, it was with great trepidation that I arrived on 24 Jun 09 as a single female traveller expecting the worst for my third trip to Sri Lanka.

We stayed 3 nights at this hotel with about 20 extended family. The food overall was good and a lot of variety, curries and western and plenty of fruit.

I stayed in Serendib a couple of days with my sisters in last September and enjoyed every moment of it. Service we received from very friendly staff was amazing.
