“Moments from the airport, its waterfront setting is immediately calming; the staff anticipates needs, and the morning's Sri Lankan breakfast is a generous introduction to local flavors. For those seeking a restorative stopover, or a quiet escape, this feels a very good choice; the pool looked pristine, and the neighborhood felt safe and welcoming. It's a place where relaxation comes easily.”
