Homemade Culinary Delights

The homemade meals prepared by Thushan's wife were simply exquisite. We had both dinner and breakfast, and each dish was not only delicious but also showcased the flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine wonderfully. I truly enjoyed every bite and felt like I was experiencing authentic local cooking.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort that offered stunning views and a relaxing atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and modern, making me feel right at home. I particularly loved the pool area, which was a great spot to unwind. However, the dining options could use some improvement, especially at breakfast, which was more limited than I hoped. Overall, it was a great value for money, but some amenities were just okay.
