This Sino-Portuguese-style hotel was conveniently situated for the beach, Jungceylon and nightlife. The room was a good size with a massive bed and a large balcony. Breakfast was good with fresh fruit, cereals, egg station, 2 cooked dishes (sweet and sour chicken for breakfast was unusual but good), toast, juices, tea and coffee (sometimes too strong). After the heat of the beach I enjoyed the cool covered pool and shaded sun lounger area. The hotel seemed very popular with Russians and Chinese. Opposite the hotel was a very nice authentic Thai restaurant with reasonably priced local dishes.
