It's improving , the breakfast buffet at the mornings is amazing with the wide range of pastries and fruits available. Its obviously pricey considering its one of the best hotels in Sri Lanka.

Gilbert HardingDecember 5, 2014This is a top class hotel but be aware of the roof top nightclub. The music is loud and goes on until 3am. If you're in a room anywhere on the upper floors you won't get any sleep.Upvote8Downvote

Hirantha HettiarachchiAugust 24, 2013Make sure you call the hotel an hour or so before your arrival and make sure your room is ready. They oversell and make you wait in the lobby for hours till the room is ready.UpvoteDownvote

MoonchildAugust 25, 2014Make sure you go here at least once, just to see the sunset. The food and drinks are overpriced, but good. You basically pay for the view which doesn't disappoint.UpvoteDownvote
