Delicious Culinary Experience

The food at the restaurant was absolutely amazing. From the good Sri Lankan breakfast to the freshly cooked dinner options, everything was delicious and made with care. I especially enjoyed the rice and curry and seafood which were some of the best I had throughout my trip.

The whole environment around the hotel was serene and relaxing, surrounded by beautiful nature. I spent my mornings on the upstairs private seating area enjoying breakfast while listening to the various birds; it was a perfect way to unwind and connect with nature.
