We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. We received a cold cleansing towel and a glass of juice on arrival. The reception was very pleasant. We arrived too early to check in but was allowed to use the pool and / or beach. Our room was ready for us 2 hours early, so we were able to check in. The pool area is pleasant with plenty of sun loungers. The pool was very clean. There is a private beach area, which is used as a volleyball pitch. In my opinion, it would lend itself much better to additional sun lounging area. In the time we stayed, there was no volleyball played, and in fact, the net wasn't even up, so it was wasted space, which was unusable due to the lack of shade. The room was pleasant enough. We had a ground floor room with access to a small private seating area. We could also access the beach and pool from leaving our terrace except it was not possible to lock the door from the outside. It would have been useful if the key worked on both doors. The room was adequately clean and water, tea and coffee supplied free of charge. There was a mini bar available at extra cost. The grounds are kept very tidy and there was plenty of staff around to help with anything you needed. The breakfast is plentiful and a good selection. We were staying over Independence Day and the hotel was putting on a show of ceremonial dance and music, together with traditional Sri Lanka food (buffet style), for additional cost. We booked a table. On seating at our table the drinks menu was offered but we were told that no alcohol was being served in observation of Independence Day. To have no alcohol was not a problem, however it would have been good to know that this was the case. The food and selection was good. Sadly the layout of the event hadn't been executed to the best ability. The act was performed around the pool area, where there was one large table (I later found out that this table was exclusively hotel corporates) all other tables were set up on the private beach/volleyball pitch and couldn't see most of the performance as there were palm trees between the performance and the tables. Also the act seemed to perform for the one and only table set up at the pool area. The performance was mildly entertaining at best. A bonfire had been lit on the beach, and whilst impressive at first, we all then became consumed in smoke and the fire had to be put out. With all that in mind, we wouldn't have booked the dinner. There is a long list of 'don't's, which I understand but feels very no, no, no, no. It would be received kindly to read "we would ask guests to refrain from; " With all that said, the room was clean, the beds comfortable and the general vibe and atmosphere at the hotel was very friendly. The hotel is in walkable distance of a number of restaurants and convenience shops. A special mention for Melvin, the Hotel coordinator and our two main Servers; Sujith and Isuru, who were never far away to help us. Melvin was extremely helpful and pleasant to c
