"We stayed for 2 days following a long flight. This was absolutely perfect. Room was clean and the hotel it self was well presented. We have Sri Lankan friends who live close by and they were more than accommodating to have them join us for dinner which was brilliant. The pool is small but ample for a small hotel. We would stay again."

"Large property on the Lakeside. Lots of restaurants and facilities. Overall great stay with location suitable to walk to attractions or cheap tuk tuk from front of hotel. Only issue was the taxi quoted to airport was US73 vs US18 using uber. Needs to adjust the price now that everyone can see the uber costs to get anywhere. Otherwise enjoyed the stay."
