Booked for 1 night on FB basis to feast on the food and sleep, that was my only holiday for entire April so it was little treat for myself. Cannot practice any self loving in this uncharacteristic hotel, something was missing in it "the soul". welcome was fine , the room is just meh.. I slept well as planned, good hot water shower, but the balcony door was from hell, it didn't give me an opportunity to enjoy the breeze since it wanted to keep me locked in. Managed to open it and smelled the ocean breeze and it was a sense of accomplishment until some mosquitos started feast on me, tried to get it room and the hell door had other plans. After struggling to get in the whole door comes off! Argh. Somehow managed to get it in place but it was a 'no go zone' as it was a battle to open and close and the whole door comes off the frame, no way in hell I'm paying for something already broken.! Food wise it's an average spread and cannot compare to a buffet in Colombo hotel. They had battered seafood, chicken noodles out of the wok but it wasn't tasty. Lunch and dinner would be 2.6 stars out of 5 and breakfast would be 3.2 out of 5. Desserts were fine with lots of sweet options. I didn't like the pool attendant with the blue shirt with his tacky attitude,! That made a stain in my experience. The hotel needs a little greenery, boxed shape white building and all the corridors looks exact the same, bright orange for the theme of citrus is a discomfort for the eye. Overall it was ok, just ok! Nothing too good or nothing too bad. It's like "been there, done that" kind of feeling that I wouldn't go back to the same hotel again. Interestingly I would go back to "the palms" hotel as a repeating experience since it had a soul to the hotel.
