"With understated elegance, a wide beachfront setting and streams flowing through topical gardens, these beautiful grounds create the perfect ambience for a serene holiday" said the brochure. "Designed for relaxation" "Simple clean lines are accentuated by contemporary furnishings to create a haven of serenity." Sounds great doesn't it? A catch? Yes there is often a catch. Or two.
Yes all the clean lines are there. This is the 1960s version of cool modernism. I would give it the understated elegance. Very nice room with a balcony at the end and then a few steps down to the grounds and my own sun lounger.
And yes the pools are very nice. Look good don't they? And felt it too, refreshing without the chill factor.

And I didn't notice another English speaking guest, or at least one for whom English was a first language. Obviously one heard Russians trying to tell the Sri Lankan staff in pidgin English what they wanted in their omelettes, but that was about it.
And as for excursions, well Wadduwa has nothing, and indeed anywhere to visit is a long long way away. Only two real options and I chose both. And due to the lack of guests, it was a case of me on my own with guide/driver. And a very early start.
