The staff from the front desk on the service to the security guard very friendly and courteous. Small tips are always welcome. Man speaks english, german, spanish and french. Italian we didn't hear since this time no italians in the hotel were. Mix is internationally mixed. (no 'russian invasion'). The few russians which we in the hotel met were all very friendly and cultivated. Since we had no complaints, we can say nothing to handling. Wishes (for example how does the tv) were immediately fulfilled.There is a restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Lunch at a charge, what we however didn't use. … read more

A super hotel by the beach in bentota-a lot of beach chairs, one has its space, if you don't in the peak season goes. You can take a tuk-tuk to other restaurants to go not in the hotel eat to go. Nice beds-very comfortable with a mini bar where the wine is cheaper than at the bar- … read more
