Really good stay with fine views

spacious room beautiful view delicious food
The room was spacious and bright. I appreciated the balconywith beautiful views (I spent a lot of time there). The food at the restaurant was delicious for both dinner and breakfast. The staff looked after all guests very well from arrival to departure.
The location on a hill required transport to nearby attractions. This was easily managed.

fine view friendly staff english breakfast soundproof door noise level uncomfortable night
The view from the rooftop pool was amazing. It overlooked jungle beach and galle fort. the breakfast had so many options. From a continental selection to a full english, it was amazing!!! the staff was helpful and friendly. They let us leave our bags and use the facilities even after checkout. That was great.
Our room was right next to the reception area. The door wasn't soundproof, so there was quite a bit of noise. i heard the telephone ringing, and it. the bathroom didn't quite meet my expectations for a four-star hotel. The toilet lid wouldn't even stay up. That was pretty annoying.

They even allowed me a shower before my evening flight (very kind of them). The complimentary tuk-tuk to Jungle Beach was also very convenient.
