9.2/10 Wonderful! (69 reviews)
The photos of this property LOOK okay but in real life, this place is sort of falling apart. You can’t swim in the beach as the water is too dangerous and choppy. The room we stayed in did not have a balcony door that sealed properly, so we had to switch rooms. The eating/ lounge area was very bare bones. For me, the stay would have been all right, had they not used photos likely from when this hotel first opened, when it was in tip top condition. We had a hot tub that we didn’t even feel like using, being the sealant looked cracked and gross and it just didn’t appear as clean as it did in the photos the hotel has shared with Expedia. We would never ever stay here again.

The giant didn't seemed to be too pleased by the noise of the few safari jeeps around him near the Minneriya lake. He fled into the dense forest nearby. It seems like the increasing number of the vehicles entering the national park disturbs their usual life.
