There weren't enough sun beds around the pool. Meals from the bar took ages. The a la carte meals were overpriced, the service so slow. Much better value and choice in the buffet.
The extra large rooms and bathrooms. It was very quiet in the rooms both day and night.

All bookings should be at least half board as you don't have any other options. We had a few issues with the Wi-Fi- you need updated codes every day.
Beautiful hotel - truly a special experience. The cabins were gorgeous and the pool area has a view of animals at the watering hole. We saw buffalos, birds snd even crocodiles from our loungers. The breakfast and dinner buffets were excellent offering both Sri Lankan specialities and Western dishes.

Felt that breakfast should be included in the price which would have make it even more amazing, but this was extra.
Never had an experience like it. With animals walking past, you felt right in the heart of the nature reserve. The facilities were great and staff very helpful. We organised our safari through the hotel which was very easy to do. We also had an amazing and intimate dining experience next to the lake with wild boar, buffalo and crocodiles all passing by.
