    Everything! Kottawatta surprised us at every turn; from the cold facial towels upon entry to the poolside drinks to an amazing curry for dinner. As a plus, the room was extremely comfortable. Our safari organized through the hotel was exceptional!

    The pillows were too soft. A room should have atleast one pillow which is not soft as some people need a bit of a harder pillow. In the restaurant i have comments. The tables should have side plates for every guests. There were no side plates....
