An
excellent
privately
owned
hotel,
complete
with
a
pool,
located
very
close
to
the
International
Airport.
It
has
a
very
welcoming
entrance
foyer
with
par
excellence
checking-in
service,
guided
by
the
Front
Office
Manager,
Rukshan,
who
is
always
beyond
the
call
of
duty!
The
whole
hotel
is
constantly
kept
clean
and
neat
with
the
room
furnishings
five-star
standard
and
electronic
controls
a
bonus!
Staff
are
very
neat,
uniformly
attired,
and
very
professional.
Special
thanks
to
Nishan
Buddika
who
carried
a
heavy
bag
up
the
stairs
as
there
are
no
lifts.
Food
is
very
good,
and
while
not
cheap,
is
value
for
money.
I
had
a
Sri
Lankan
cuttle-fish
stir-fry,
one
of
the
best
I
have
ever
tasted!
The
photos
are
misleading
as
they
show
it
adjoining
the
Lagoon,
but
it
is
on
a
joining
tributary,
and
you
can
still
view
aquatic
animals
vying
for
your
attention
along
with
the
many
colorful
rare
bird
species,
who
greet
you
in
the
morning,
frequenting
the
lovely
lawn
and
foliage
surrounding
the
hotel.
The
only
shortcoming,
I
observed
was
the
lack
of
adequate
transport,
exacerbated
of
course
by
the
country's
current
fuel
shortage
which
forces
them
to
charge
an
exorbitant
figure,
equal
almost
to
the
cost
of
a
Colombo
trip!
Being
only
4
km
from
the
Airport,
their
location
can
be
a
very
good
selling
point,
especially
for
transit
passengers.
I
will
certainly
re-visit
this
hotel
if
the
easing
of
the
economic
situation,
provides
a
better
transport
facility.
