"This was a stunning end to my stay in Sri Lanka. Staff couldn’t do enough for you and general manager was around and introduced himself during breakfast. Cocktails and food was great. Breakfast was excellent. So many choices and nothing too much trouble.
I can see it may be an issue in high season, but in October there was enough sunloungers at the pool and beach for everyone. Water supplied in room and on the beach/pool areas.
WiFi was fast and reliable. Hotel offered turn down service which was a nice touch.
Tip try the King Colada! Thank you Banisha for being so friendly and welcoming! <3"
"If you are looking for a hotel nearby the national park, look no further as this place is perfect
You will be sunbathing watching crocodiles in the lake(it’s safe, don’t worry!!) admiring the sunset with the buffaloes and keep hoping an elephant will pop in.
The rooms are spectacular,spacious and very very clean.
The buffet (both breakfast and dinner) is yummy and with a variety I haven’t seen before.
But the highlight of this hotel is the staff. We had the best people looking after us and this was the best thing!"
"This hotel was a highlight of our trip and easily our favourite in Sri Lanka. The staff were incredibly friendly, the rooms were gorgeous and comfortable, and the location couldn’t be better- right on the beach and just a short walk to Coconut Tree Hill, Parrot Rock, and plenty of dining options. We were so impressed by the ocean-view rooms that we upgraded on the spot, and it made our stay even more special. We’re already looking forward to our next visit"
