My wife and I had an ocean-view room and the views were just awesome! Huge windows made us feel like we were right by the ocean. We got up early and walked out to the beach to watch the sunrise. Later we strolled along the secluded rocky beach, saw lots of crabs and reefs, and collected some shells. We also got a couple of spa treatments -the masseuses were great. The swimming pool seemed nice too, but the sun seemed quite intense, so we didn't really feel like stepping inside the pool, but saw quite a few other guests relaxing and sunbathing by the pool.
The breakfast was good, but it would be nicer if they had a few more vegetarian options.
The wifi could have been better. While the wifi coverage itself was ok, after connecting our devices to it, a page would be displayed requiring us to confirm the connection before we could get online - the issue was this page would take forever to load! Considering the cell reception is spotty in the hotel area, it would have been good if connecting to the wifi was a little more seamless.
The last 5-6 km of the road leading to the hotel (Rekawa road) was bumpy, and as the hotel nears, it turned in to a dirt road (Oruwella road). We kept wondering if there was a 5-star hotel at the end of the road, and to our relief, there indeed was one (and a very good one at that!). But it would be much nicer if those last 5-6 km are better paved.
All in all though, one of the best hotels during my week long trip to Sri Lanka.
