    Family-friendly hotel with lots to do in the surrounding area (safari, bird park) and an 18 hole golf course. Food is excellent at Sera and at the buffet. Kids will love the water slides, pools and activities.

    Very beautiful rooms, and a very nice adults only pool! The food at the buffet is also very decent. Compared to all other hotels we stayed throughout Sri Lanka, this was the closest to what is considered 5 stars in Europe.

    staff were nice and helpful. the food was excellent. The restaurent buffet is the main advantage of the hotel. I lost 200 $ in the restaurent and security staff checked the cameras and found that one resident found the money but did not reported.

    - Staff were absolutely excellent, went above and beyond for any request. Special mention to the lovely ladies in the kids club for their kindness and patience. Staff and chefs at the buffet are also wonderful, asking if we would like any special...
