Our villa, Plantation Pool Villa Hibiscus, offered a private pool and views of the surrounding nature. The bird life was fine. Watching it from the pool was a highlight. The staff were always attentive and ready to assist with anything we needed (the espresso martinis were a delight). The hotel also organised a sunset visit to Galle Fort.

The spa treatments are popular.
