8/10 Good
"This was a nice spot, and very comfortable room. Good location for Yala National Park safaris. Breakfast was generous and we had dinner once which we enjoyed. The pool can be enjoyed, but does come with some non-threatening bugs which I understand is an issue in many of the nearby pools. This didn't stop the kids enjoying it, plenty of guests used it and there were no after effects. Just a byproduct of life in the area! I'd happily return to this property."

"My parents were there to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and although we celebrated a little late, they had such a wonderful experience. Quoting my dad “The birthday arrangement was beautiful, the cake was lovely, and the   famous DoubleTree cookie was the best. The breakfast and dinner buffets were both excellent, and the amenities were exceptional.” What really stood out to them was the warmth and attention to detail throughout their stay. My mum still can’t stop complimenting the food; my parents have travelled all around Sri Lanka and tried many different cuisines, so coming from them, that is actually really huge to hear! Next time I’m in Lanka, I already know where my first stop will be. 10/10 for such a great stay!"
