“I observed that its location, though a short drive from Unawatuna and Galle, offers a welcome tranquility, particularly after exploring the Dutch Fort; the staff's warmth stands out, even as their service could benefit from refinement. I also noticed the on-site Indian Hut, a convenient option for local and subcontinental flavors, though spice levels warrant consideration. The hotel has clearly addressed past issues with dampness, marking a commendable improvement.”
