amazing family stay!

magnificent staffaqua aerobicsinclusive classemergency light
I loved my time here! the staff, including rasika, shehani, thanuja, michael, ayesha, and lahira, were magnificent. the kids were spoiled rotten, which they loved! my niece especially enjoyed the aqua aerobics class. It was inclusive, too.
The hotel electricity kept cutting out. It even happened at 4:40 am! a big emergency light turned on, and it woke everyone up. reception said they knew about it but made no mention the next morning?!

The hotel is near the jungle. Peacocks roam the grounds and monkeys are around too. Breakfasts and dinners were FANTASTIC!!! The atmosphere is calm and pleasant.
The resort was managed by not professionals. The level was not a 5star one. Many facilities were out of order, like the billiard table. Only one ball was available for the ping pong table.
