A Relaxing Stay

thoughtful staff ample space broad selection security personnel
The staff throughout the hotel are very kind. The pool team always ensured there were enough sun-chairs. Gamini and Ranuka greeted everyone warmly at the dining hall, very thoughtful. Anurudda and Roshan, the Sous Chefs, accommodated specific food requests with care. The hotel's lawn between the pool and the seaside is nicely kept. Ample space exists between each sun-chair. The team at the pool, including Dumindu, Viraj, Kumara, Ruvindu, Mendis and Hiruni, are attentive. They always made sure that my needs were met. I found the breakfast selection quite broad. Many options were available. Security personnel are always vigilant. It provided reassurance.
The lift was temperamental! though it didn't spoil my stay.
