“This smaller hotel struck me as a place of tropical simplicity, where exotic plants frame a quiet pool-an oasis in busy Colombo; I imagine one could appreciate a cool dip, plus the Sri Lankan breakfast. It seems a great value, perhaps a bit removed from the tourist zone, but promising comfort and some adventurous tuk-tuk rides.”
