We loved our experience from beginning to end. A tranquil and beautiful place, with so many places to rest and explore within the walls. Loved the room, the pools, the food was excellent, the store for crafts and the wildlife surrounding us was the perfect way to recalibrate after a long flight and shake off any residual stress. We would love to return.

8.4/10 Very good! (249 reviews)
This property we booked in negambo. Property is not maintained well. Though location wise it is good, near to airport. It has a dead vibe even it is sea facing. Buffet was having lots of options but those were not eatable. When we checked in room AC was not working, door lock was also not functioning. I wouldn’t recommend this property to anyone
