I had a mixed experience at this resort. The location by the Weerawila lake was stunning and perfect for relaxation, but the rooms had some issues with cleanliness, including bugs. The service was a highlight, with friendly staff and tasty food, although my experience with the dining could have been improved. Overall, the value for money wasn't ideal due to the room issues, but the peaceful atmosphere is worth mentioning.

The rooms were unfortunately not up to par for a five-star experience, filled with bugs such as ants and mosquitoes. When I brought this up, it took them three hours to move me to a new room, which still had ants. This was disappointing.

I had a pleasant stay at the resort, enjoying the serene surroundings near Weerawila Lake. The rooms were cozy and perfect for a good night's sleep, although we had to switch rooms on our second day which was a bit inconvenient. The service was prompt and attentive, and the restaurant offered a lovely buffet experience. However, I found the cocktails to be on the smaller side for the price.
