The staff is amazing! Everyone from the reception to the buffet staff is so sweet, kind and always available for any request! Supun in particular is super super kind and gentle! I’ve been here so many time, and they always meet my expectations. I loved the dinner buffet setup during Women's Day on March 8, 2026. Every time I stay here I always see improvements. Fully recommended!❤️
