I had such a blast in Jaffna, enjoying the fabulous continental breakfast and exploring the popular cycling routes. The staff arranged a tuk tuk tour for me and even a car hire. Loved every moment!
Couldn't find a single flaw, oh wait, the only thing missing was a personal butler. What a shame!

I recently had a pleasant stay at a charming resort in Jaffna. The spacious room was beautifully decorated and the garden was simply lovely. The friendly young guy who served us was always polite and had a constant smile. Despite a few minor drawbacks, like an outdated bathroom and poor Wi-Fi, overall I would recommend this hotel.

I always return to the place where I found my lost shower bag. It suits me perfectly with Wi-Fi, free parking, a 24-hour reception, and a restaurant. It has everything I need for my business trips, like flat-screen TV, express check-in/out, and a paid airport shuttle.

Our recent stay in the north of Sri Lanka provided us with a pleasant surprise. the hospitality and professional behavior of the staff made us feel most welcome. the food was first class and value for money. the tuk tuk ride was a fantastic experience. the cleanliness of the hotel was impressive and enhanced our whole holiday experience.
there was no facility to accept credit cards which would have made payment much easier. there were ongoing renovations taking place in the background which slightly distracted from our experience.

Our recent stay was incredible. We loved the location, making it easy to explore the town and nearby attractions, thanks to its proximity to the train station. The room was comfortable, and the bathroom had ample hot water. The staff was friendly and helpful, offering suggestions for things to do and places to eat. The breakfast was delicious and filling. We enjoyed the charming verandah and beautiful garden. a wonderful experience at a great value.
The only minor issue was communication with some staff members, but they were still friendly and helpful.

Saw amazing wildlife from balcony. Friendly staff gave great recommendations for exploring the area. We had our best meal during our trip on xmas.
Room was basic with poor quality bedding. Hot water tank in room didn't work and caused us to have to shower in another room.

This resort offers spacious, well-decorated rooms with good AC and a lovely surrounding greenery. The friendly and helpful staff, including the manager, make for a pleasant stay. The hotel is also conveniently located close to town and attractions, and they even assist with arranging cab services. The clean environment and delicious food served in the restaurant upstairs add to the overall positive experience. It's a great place to stay for a vacation.
Felt completely at home, no complaints at all.
Tourists from South Africa often stay at these properties. Ideas for your future trips.
