Relativtly expensive, hence expected a decent standard, but the hotel didnt even have a minimum proper facilities to justify the cost. Bad/old towels No soap No water bottles A/C didn't work well in some rooms Remote controls were missing Rust doors in the bathroom (was not possible to get out if/when closed from in side) Clogged drainage Strong smell from the washrooms Broken closet seats Broken tap Breakfast is minimum Bugs in the pool Overall the the hotel is result of a poor maintainance and lack of knowledge of hotel management. However the service people tried to do their best. Due to late arrivel after a long drive we had no option than staying there. ##### BalaChandra Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian Bruno Aug 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Christian Bruno Stayed 12 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosita Jul 11, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E1A184C1DACCE03514040FACD675F588970FB10C1720663203591.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rosita Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotel Mahanuge](https://www.expedia.ca/Polonnaruwa-Hotels-Hotel-Mahanuge.h46085957.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Miami](https://www.expedia.ca/Anuradhapura-Hotels-Hotel-Miami.h101263972.Hotel-Information) > - [Nilketha Villa Eco Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anuradhapura-Hotels-Nilketha-Villa-Eco-Hotel.h8965793.Hotel-Information) > - [Sea View Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nilaveli-Hotels-Sea-View-Beach-Hotel.h23684640.Hotel-Information) > - [Erandi Holiday Home](https://www.expedia.ca/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-Erandi-Holiday-Home.h38268558.Hotel-Information) > - [Tishan Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Polonnaruwa-Hotels-TISHAN-HOLIDAY-RESORT.h12498560.Hotel-Information) > - [Sunstar](https://www.expedia.ca/Nilaveli-Hotels-Sunstar.h26724732.Hotel-Information) > - [Lagoon Waves](https://www.expedia.ca/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-Lagoon-Waves.h96138318.Hotel-Information) > - [Blue Diamond Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Trincomalee-Hotels-Blue-Diamond-Resort.h102374878.Hotel-Information) > - [Jetwing Surf & Safari, A Luxury Reserve](https://www.expedia.ca/Pottuvil-Hotels-Jetwing-Surf.h19959056.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weerawila-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Weerawila-Rajawarna-Resort.h23701470.Hotel-Information) > - [Room in Villa - Surf 247 Weligama - Deluxe Double Room With Side Sea View](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Surf-247-Weligama-Deluxe-Double-Room-With-Side-Sea-View.h101827338.Hotel-Information) > - [Rani Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Rani-Beach-Hotel.h101747283.Hotel-Information) > - [Oceanfront Nilaveli by ICC](https://www.expedia.ca/Nilaveli-Hotels-Ocean-Front-Condos.h35766159.Hotel-Information) > - [Wild Wadi wilpattu ](https://www.expedia.ca/Wild-Wadi-Wilpattu.h100544326.Hotel-Information) > - [Bridge Hotel Negombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Bridge-Hotel-Negombo.h13425310.Hotel-Information) > - [The River House by Asia Leisure](https://www.expedia.ca/Balapitiya-Hotels-The-River-House-By-Asia-Leisure.h10984031.Hotel-Information) > - [Divine villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Nuwaragam-Palatha-Central-Hotels-Divine-Villa.h36609525.Hotel-Information) > - [Rajarata Family Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anuradhapura-Hotels-Rajarata-Lodge.h16530327.Hotel-Information) > - [Kitelantis Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalpitiya-Hotels-Kitelantis-Hotel-And-Resort.h31693921.Hotel-Information) > - [Mama Beach Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Mama-Beach-Villa.h19769396.Hotel-Information) > - [House of Ahasna](https://www.expedia.ca/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-House-Of-Ahasna.h33143768.Hotel-Information) > - [Jetwing Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Jetwing-Beach.h1451532.Hotel-Information) > - [Tree House Holiday Home](https://www.expedia.ca/Anuradhapura-Hotels-Tree-House-Holiday-Home.h17789221.Hotel-Information) > - [Laana Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Laana-Villa.h39678361.Hotel-Information) > - [Radisson Blu Resort Galle](https://www.expedia.ca/Galle-Hotels-Amari-Galle.h16267123.Hotel-Information) > - [Goatfell](https://www.expedia.ca/Walapane-Hotels-Goatfell.h48392469.Hotel-Information) > - [Dream Cliff Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hildummulla-Hotels-Dream-Cliff-Mountain-Resort.h42548366.Hotel-Information)
