My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were not ready for us, facing onto a hillside garden, which made for a reasonably quiet atmosphere. The location was superb, offering a perfect 15-minute lakeside walk to the town itself. The dining experience was very good, especially with tasty Sri Lankan dishes on offer. However, the noise levels until quite late were a bit of a downside.
