Our stay at the resort was truly enjoyable, with spacious and well-decorated family suites that perfectly accommodated us. The staff was exceptionally attentive, particularly Sugath, who left delightful towel art in our room. While the dining options were varied and delicious, particularly the local dishes, the service in the main restaurant fell short at times. The beach was beautiful but not accessible due to rough seas, and the location is beautiful but a bit remote with limited attractions nearby.

The hotel has a fantastic location, right next to a beautiful beach and with a stunning view of the ocean. The staff, especially the room cleaner, was exceptional, adding a personal touch to our stay. However, the dining experience was inconsistent, and the hotel seems to be showing signs of age. The service could use some improvement as well, particularly in the buffet restaurant. Overall, it's a great spot for a relaxing getaway, but there are areas that need attention.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location between the river and sea was beautiful, the service was not up to par, with staff often lacking organization and not being welcoming. The room was nice and pool access was a great feature, but the dining options were confusing and lacked variety. Overall, it offered decent value for money, but improvement is needed in several areas.

This resort is a beautiful property located between the ocean and a river, providing a stunning backdrop. The facilities are decent with a huge pool and good spa options, but the dining experience comes with some frustrations due to poor service from the staff. While the rooms are spacious and pleasant, the overall service is lacking, impacting the experience negatively.
