Read More individual customers. Well-concerned details on the room with a breath-taking balcony view. It has a bigger pool, a nice beach, and a nice view from the rooftop. Food is also delicious and mouth-watering. Honestly, we expected a buffet. But after tasting their set menu of five courses, our opinion was totally changed. Here we "ENJOYED" the fine dining. It was so great and far better than a typical buffet. Special thanks to chef Lahiru and his staff. Overall, we can give this more than 5 stars and would highly recommend it. We will definitely visit again. More

There is a salt water pool we used everyday. Loungers are provided. As we were shoulder season unfortunately it wasn't safe to enter the water due to rip currents. But the beach is beautiful.

There was excitement during our stay as a dog had her puppies under one of the sun loungers. Even this spoke volumes to the staff who made sure mummy dog had food, water and was looked after. Staff even made exception and tolerated my cat obsession!

The hotel is about 1km from turtle beach. There is a shop a few minutes away for anything you might need.

As we had a late pick up for the airport staff went out of their way to make sure had everything we needed on our last day - holding our luggage, letting us use the gym facilities to get showered and changed. Nothing was a hasse and this hotel was the epitome of service.

We were very sad to leave as we genuinely felt we were leaving friends, leaving the Riff. Hopefully some day we will get to return!!!! More
