I had high hopes for my stay, but my experience was quite mixed. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, the service left much to be desired as they were short-staffed during my visit. The location of the hotel is appealing, being close to the beach and tranquil surroundings. Dining was a letdown, as the meals didn't quite live up to the reputation that made me book this place. Overall, it's a decent hotel, but improvements are definitely needed.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort, with exceptional service and stunning views of Koggala Lake. The rooms were clean and spacious, making them a comfortable retreat. The private beach added a special charm to the overall experience, but the Wi-Fi speed could use some improvement. Dining was truly a delight with a varied menu, though some items could be better executed. Overall, it felt like great value for money, and I would definitely recommend it for a relaxing getaway.

We had a pleasant stay with clean and comfortable rooms that were conveniently located near the pool. The facilities were good, but we felt the dining options could be improved. The friendly staff really added to our experience, but we noticed they seemed a bit short-handed during our visit, which affected the overall service. Still, the amenities offered great value for what we paid.

I had an amazing time at the resort, where the friendly staff made all the difference and ensured we were well taken care of throughout our stay. The beach was just across the road, which was convenient, and my family enjoyed the lovely pool area overlooking the lagoon. While the dining experience was delightful, it could benefit from a bit more variety, especially for breakfast. Overall, this resort offers incredible value for the nominal price, making it perfect for a getaway without breaking the bank.
