The pool was quite small for a hotel this size. i mentioned this when i arrived, but nothing changed. the curtain separating the bathroom from the room was broken too. Maintenance had to fix it. it was the most expensive and worst hotel during my 19-day trip!!!

A Romantic Gem in the Hills
genuine kindnessvast optionslocal expertisedouble charging
The staff showed genuine kindness. They engaged in a friendly cricket match with my son. The food buffet presented vast options. Wasantha made our drive to Nuwara Eliya nice because of his local expertise. Arranging a vehicle with the hotel offered excellent value. I recommend this option when looking for a knowledgeable driver to reach the next destination.
During check-in, I faced an attempt to charge me a second time. I was asked for payment multiple times. The currency exchange rates from USD to LKR felt excessive. I also found outdated information within the guest service directory.
