We were group of friends holidaying in srilanka. The ambience and location of the hotel is very good. Average breakfast, nice pool. Good service by staff, all were very pleasant. The approach road to the hotel is terrible and once you are in the hotel you can forget about exploring the town by foot. Good walks around the hotel though.

The hotel is very nicely located and the room we had was good and clean. But the best thing remain the view that change from morning to sunset. The food buffet has a large variety of local and international cooking, also it might not change a lot one day to another this is fine if you spend a couple of... More

The rooms in this hotel are old fashioned and not clean. We found a hair on our pillow at our arrivel, there were moist Stains on the wall and black Stains everywhere in the Bathroom. The Bathroom was too small with a very small Bath, tl-lights and a toilet right in the middle. The food was ok, but not great.... More

Great hotel up the hill so the view is absolutely perfect. Really quiet place with fantastic pool. There are wooden sunbeds with pads and pool boy will provide you with soft towels for your comfort. The dining is nice, but it is a buffet. The offer is wide, but with very little fresh sea food and fishes. There is a... More

This lovely boutique resort is just the mountain escape I was looking for! Just the most special views of the clouds and mist over the mountains, lovely room - ask for mountain view, otherwise it's a sad waste. Only annoying thing was wifi only in the lobby and lots of entertainment at night...
