I enjoyed the live piano music played in the lobby, it made the atmosphere more relaxing. The buffet breakfast featured an extensive variety of options, wonderful. I appreciated the Nuwan Pasidu elephant artwork. It added a special touch.
The front office experience was not good, I experienced issues with billing and felt my concerns were not handled professionally. It negatively impacted my experience after a nice stay.

the beds were reasonably comfortable, i will admit.
I was really let down by the poolside service. It was slow. it took ages to get simple food, and it arrived at different times, so we couldn't eat together. The drinks service was also painfully slow.

The room was basic and water leaked from the toilet drainage. This created a terrible stench. the food served at breakfast was also cold, sadly not up to standards i expect. asking for a late checkout until 4 pm resulted in added charges for staying past 3 pm.. i was disappointed.
