The best ever hotel I visited for dinner buffet in srilanka along with my family.

The best hotel I ever visited in srilanka with my kids.
I mostly go for dinner buffets with my family,my kids enjoy going there.
The staff at the dinner buffet are the bestt.they are so kind and friendly.
They give the best hospitality for kids..I highly recommend it for anyone who would enjoy every flavour of various cuisines and always the best is the friendly staff.

Don't think I'd go back...

Large room. Mean on towels (one of each). Room could do with a refurbishment. Pillow too hard. Shower weak & temperature variances. Staff pleasant. Lovely location. Lots of gilt but not impressed. Lots of wasted space. Thai restaurant good. Tamarind also. Breakfast plentiful. Again, no fresh fruit juice!

Outstanding Service

I came to Sri Lanka with 10 Americans. This is a beautiful hotel. The rooms are more like suites. You have a small living room & then a separate bedroom. All tastefully decorated. The food was wonderful. There are 2 restaurants to choose from. Great swimmng pool, with a view & nice gym. But why I would give it more than 5 stars, is because how they handled a medical emergency for one of our group, a New Yorker. He had a urgent eye problem. At about 9pm they contacted a hospital & got an appointment with an opthalmologist & got him there at 9am the following morning. Long story, but they handled it brilliantly & all worked out well. (Bonus, I got to meet the Sri Lankan cricket team, who were staying at the sam hotel!)

Absolutely stunning, fine example of a 5*

Very lavish and grand hotel, from walking through the doors to the stunning rooftop pool and bar, fabulous suite style rooms, decadent styling, truly stunning
The rooms are very special too, with living area, large bedroom with chandelier and massive bathroom fit for a king.
The food in the restaurant was excellent but more so the service from the attentive staff, especially Hillary and Phryonthe, who couldn't do enough for us whenever we entered the restaurant. 5* food and 5+* service
Although we have singled out two members of staff, we actually would like to say that every single employee was so friendly and very helpful when needed.
This hotel is a fine example of how 5* should be, lavish and grand truly sums it up
I will say though, it needs a little tender loving care in certain areas within the rooms, I can tell it is a relatively old hotel. It simply needs a little updating but nevertheless, it is fabulous , hence my 5* review
