A Romantic Getaway

very nice privacyprivate balconymodern amenitiesrainfall shower
My Cottage Room provided very nice privacy. It felt secluded. The private balcony offered beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The room's amenities were quite modern, and they included a large flat-screen television. The bathroom had a rainfall shower, and it was very relaxing after a long day.
The buggy service was occasionally delayedwith minor inconveniences.

The resort is close to Little Adam's Peak, so guests have easy access to hiking. Ravana Beach Club is adjacent to the hotel, offering additional recreational options. It's very convenient. A tuk-tuk to the town center is quick.

Breakfast is served with a wide selection of buffet items plus made-to-order options. The 360-degree views from the dining area are wonderful. The restaurant food tasted delicious, though the prices were not low.

The room included a lovely, large bathroom with a walk-in shower. It also came well-stocked with water, teas, and coffee. I was very happy with the views overlooking Mini Adams Peak, Ella Rock, and the valleys between.
The resort is on steep slopes, so those with mobility issues may struggle somewhat.
