| said: Another lovely hotel, but in hindsight, probably not the best choice on our part.
The hotel is well designed and very relaxing, but after 4 nights there we were a bit bored and looking forward to going home.
There is very little to do at the hotel other than using the pool or paying for further excursions – perfect if you want to do nothing – but awful for people like us who like to be kept occupied. It would have been much better for us to have chosen a hotel in Negombo (i.e. nearer the airport) and stayed there for only 2 or 3 nights. But we must stress that it was our fault for choosing this hotel and not the fault of the hotel and staff.
The food in the main restaurant was absolutely delicious and the pool bar also did good (and cheap) snacks. We were glad that we hadn’t decided to go for full board, as we really couldn't eat very much at lunchtime after having such a big breakfast and knowing that a 5-course dinner was likely to follow.
The staff were all very polite and helpful and the manager held a welcome cocktail party on our first evening, which was nice.
The Kuoni rep, Kalim, was very also very helpful.
