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.

The rooftop pool offered fine views overlooking Jungle Beach and galle fort. The staff accommodated my late departure, allowing me to store my bags and use the facilities. 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.

My room was near the reception area, and the door wasn't soundproof. I experienced some noise from the reception at times (mostly during the day).
