We had a fantastic room in this well located beach hotel not too far from Colombo. We opted for a delux room which was well worth the extra money and the rooms have a great view of the pool and beach. The room was modern, clean and comfortable and had lots of nice touches like eco friendly cinammon shower gel and shampoo as well as a very well stocked mini bar.
The pool was fantastic for my children (aged 5 and 2) with a great shallow area. It is set in beautiful gardens with palm trees. The beach is also stunning but is not private and you are likely to meet local traders (who are not too pushy). Sadly, like many places in Asia, as the beach is public there is a problem with litter on the beach but they do try to clean it.
The food was of a very good standard with many options at the buffet. I tried to order a pina colada at the bar but sadly this was disgusting. I stuck to beer after that.
There was a slight underwhelming element to the customer service at the hotel. Staff seemed unmotivated and rather tired. Some were very sweet and kind and others seemed unhappy and I felt sorry for them. They did make a fantastic effort for the New Year celebration. There was also some confusion on our last day over my mobile phone going missing from our room and then a search party arrived in our room and miraculously 'found' my phone. suspicious.
Overall we had a great time. The junior entertainment staff played music way too loud into the night, every night, but then it was around the time of new year. Eden Spa has a resort feel to it but you can relax under beautiful palm trees, next to a lovely beach and pool and who can complain about that. If there was some impressive management, the whole place may come alive to the modern era of luxury travel here in 2012! But in the mean time the Eden Spa is doing just fine.

At my first arrival I was a little bit disappointed because the hotel is very modern and lacks the exotism you might be searching for when you travel to a far east country, but then I discovered that this is a very nice and comfortable place to stay. We were granted a ground floor room with direct access to the pool with a small private area outside. The room is huge as well as the bathroom. and the staff is simply the nicest we met, especially Dhamita who is always there to help in any request you have, the housekeeping staff who brings you extra towels in no time, they also arrange the towels every day in the form of an elephant and this was sooo charming! the breakfast buffet was very tasty with a huge variety of food and excellent choice of bread. The dinner buffet was ok. We didn't try the other restaurants as we were on half board bases and were only allowed to the buffet.
Every morning i used to drink my coffee in front of the room and the pool attendant used to come to me with a big smile to bring me deack chair, mattress and towel, and he used to do the same when we go down to the beach. The pool is huge and very well designed but has no depth at all. Anyways i didn't care that much because I prefer the sea, and it was simply amazing. A long stretch of golden sand with magnificent view to a small island and the end of the river that falls down there. The sea temperature was perfect and swimming in it was amazing as there was almost no waves. Few meters away facing the island you can have excellent beer and fresh fruit juice at the Maharaja cafe while being entertained by the very nice owner Ananda. One night it was my friend's birthday and he and his friend Patte brought us a cake and flowers to celebrate in such a friendly and kind way. If you want to take a tour from there, I can't but recommend that you take Patte as a guide, he knows a lot about the country and his explanations were much more accurate and detailed than the ones we had from other guides at other places. Besides he is very honest and straight forward and friendly. He took us in his nice red TukTuk to have a tour of shopping in the city and we had excellent prices compared to what we paid in other places. Believe me, tour Srilanka with him and you won't regret it. His e-mail is patte01lk@yahoo.com.
