The hotel is located on a small island opposite a beautiful lake, offering a unique and picturesque setting. The rooms are equipped with heavenly showers and comfortable beds, but could benefit from some refurbishment. The service provided by the generous Sir Lankan Sinhalese staff was incredibly friendly and valuable to visitors, although there were some lapses in service delivery. The dining experience included an organic section but came at super high prices. The facilities were adequate, with noticeable room for improvement.

I wanted to share my experience with this hotel. The rooms, while in need of some refurbishment, had good air conditioning and comfortable beds. However, I found them not as clean or well-maintained as expected. The service provided was generous and friendly, especially from the Sir Lankan Sinhalese staff members. On the downside, the service seemed somewhat lacking at times. The location by the lake offered a great view, ideal for those planning to explore the National Park or enjoy some time by Tissa lake. As for the dining experience, the food was included, but I found it to be at super high prices. Despite some imperfections, the facilities were sufficient for my stay.
