We arrived at night a day late due to one of our party being sick, but there was no leniency in altering our arrival date even with more than 24 hours notice; we already expected as much, since it was impossible to cancel our booking at any time without forfeiting half our fee. The place has a beautiful view of the ocean and jungles from the rooms, and especially from the restaurant, but the rooms are stark, with some sort of industrial aesthetic that is jarring for Sri Lanka. There are nice pools and each room has a balcony, but also a glass wall, so at pool level that might be an issue: we wereon the 3rd floor. It is a very good hike to the beach, so anyone with mobility issues be warned! Luckily, we arrived with a car and driver, but there were no quarters for the driver at the hotel and the nearest was at another hotel; otherwise, there are just a few shuttles into and back from town. The reception staff and kitchen staff were cheerful and professional, but the restaurant prices were as if we were staying at a 5 star in Colombo, which this place, in my estimation, was not.
