I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and placed conveniently for families with children near the pools and play areas. The service was exceptional, especially from Madhuhansa at the restaurant, who attended to all my needs without me asking. The location was lovely, away from the town with a beautiful view of the beach. The dining experience was good, with some room for improvement on variety. Overall, a great family-friendly option with top-notch service and amenities.
