    I had an amazing time at this hotel! The trapeze activities were so much fun, and the kids' club was fantastic. The staff were incredibly friendly and made our holiday extra special. The hotel facilities, including the slides and the kids' pool, were top-notch. The breakfast spread was delicious, and I particularly loved the beautiful sunsets on the beach.

    The beach views were stunning, although swimming wasn't recommended due to strong waves. The hotel had three clean swimming pools and spacious rooms with beautiful garden areas. The staff, especially Janaka, Kasun, Vishvi, Uditha. The kids club, known as The Cool Zone Kids Club, provided great activities for children. I had a fun bike ride to the mouth of a nearby river. The breakfast was delicious, and the hotel facilities were top-notch.

    All good.

    Best Christmas Stay!

    There were not many options, and some dishes were overcooked. Additionally, the live music at the hotel bar was too loud and interfered with our ability to have a quiet evening at the hotel.
