faulty safe inconsistent turndown
I encountered a couple of issues. The in-room safe did not function properly. I had to call maintenance twice to get it working. The promised daily turndown service occurred only once . I expect consistency at this price point.

restful place infinity pool guided walk resident naturalist
Four nights started our trip in sri lanka very well. The location provides a peaceful, immersive environment. The infinity pool offers 360-degree views over the mountains. A guided walk around the grounds is available with the resident naturalist, gunee.
THE restaurant's food quality does not match the resort. The music volume made conversation difficult.
