I had a wonderful stay at this resort. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and I was impressed by how clean and spacious the room was. The buffet dinner was plentiful and delicious, but breakfast could use some variety, especially lacking fresh fruit. The highlight was definitely the pool, which I enjoyed late into the evening. However, I would advise against using the safari services they arranged, as the vehicle was uncomfortable and the experience did not meet my expectations.

I had a lovely one-night stay, especially after a long day visiting Sigiriya. The welcome drink and fast check-in were nice touches. The pool was open without time limits, which was great for unwinding after dinner. The rooms were clean and quiet, making for a comfortable night. However, I did notice some issues like the air conditioning not working properly during my friend's stay. Overall, it was a good experience with a nice atmosphere and reasonable prices.

I found this hotel to be a solid budget option, with spacious and clean rooms that are great for a short stay. The pool area is a real highlight, and I loved the complimentary breakfast, even if it could use some more variety. However, access to the rooms involves climbing stairs, which might not work for everyone, especially those with mobility issues. Overall, it's certainly good value for the price.
