10/10 Exceptional
Sep 1, 2024
I've picked this hotel because it is literally 10min walk to Negombo and it has several pools with warm sea water & thermal water. We've booked a Seaview room which had a truly amazing view and at that moment it was all I needed to rest my mind.
The room itself isn't very big, but enough to accommodate two people. The shower room is pretty big, tiles slightly cracked in some places, shower isn't the most modern one, but does its job well. We didn't have any troubles with pressure or lack of hot water during our stay.
I think the biggest inconvenience was that AC in the room didn't work properly, it didn't change the temperature to lower. It was very hot in the night, so we slept like in a sauna and woke up with headache every day. Opening a balcony is not a great idea, because mosquitoes are vicious, and anyway it was about 35 degrees at night.
Breakfast was average, nothing special for northern European standards, but definitely very good for Italy. Italians normally eat only sweets for breakfast. They served about 10 types of cakes and croissants. They did serve some scrambled eggs, bacon, cold cuts, plain salad leaves with tomatoes, which was nothing special, but edible. For me the best part of breakfast was the watermelon. Cappuccino was tasty too.
During the day we ordered some cocktails at the pool bar which were served with small complimentary snacks.
The variety of pools with warm water was great.
Overall very good experience, we would stay again.
