Stayed alone for 2 days.
➕
All the staff are friendly.
Number of items on the breakfast buffet. Western food, Sri Lankan food, Indian food, so you won't get tired of it every day.
There are two pools, so you don't have to be crowded.
There was a gym and a daily program, and I participated in morning and evening training sessions, but since I was the only one there, I was given one-on-one instruction, which was really fun.
The cleaners are very friendly.
The room was spacious and I could hear the birds singing.
Being able to see the sunset on the nearby beach every day.
➖
When I wanted to grab a few drinks and grab a bite to eat in the evening, the Italian restaurant was closed and when I tried to use the bar, there weren't many vegetarian or vegan options.
Nothing around.
The nearby beach has too high waves for swimming.

5* hotel booked to end our trip in style.
Bar staff and cleaners were super happy, polite and love to great the guests in the hotel.
Reception staff were generally unhelpful. I tried to book activities and excursions, but was initially told to go the hotel next door before being given a random book
While trying to sort late check out one receptionist began serving another customer over my head. Late check out was eventually agreed to which was helpful but after being sat face to face in silence for minutes.
Facilities are wonderful. Nice private beach, great pool area. Two bars and buffet style restaurant with ala carte option.
Locals got charged significantly less for our event dinner. Some would say that's fair, others would disagree, but not being transparent probably suggests it was trying to be hidden.
Service wasn't 5*. When we arrived our bedding was ripped and had a huge hole in it. Thankfully this was fixed, but I think atleast 2/3 people came to check before it was resolved.

Hotel on the beach.
Pool with fresh water.
Air conditioning works only in one mode.
Refrigerator rumbles like a tractor. Louder than a train and the ocean.
The bar does not sell alcohol on holidays. In another hotel they sell it without problems.
The food is ordinary home-cooked. Sometimes it is not even tasty.
Does not match the price!!!!
Four sun loungers (but then they brought two more wooden ones)
