Royal Retreat Hotel
500 rupees to use the swimming pool. It’s free if you commit to eating at its restaurant after.
Definitely noticeably more expensive than eateries in the area. For dinner, we opted for Sri Lankan curry and rice, and not one from the buffet. Definitely the best choice, a very generous portion. They weren’t serving alcohol as it was a Buddhist holiday. Avoid the omelette if you’re after a snack. When we went, they didn’t have half the things we wanted as a snack on the menu (brownie, lots of the fresh juices...)
The pool was refreshing after a hot day. It’s definitely not the fanciest hotel but the staff are friendly.
