Delicious Breakfast Extravaganza

“Every morning at The Dream Resort, I was treated to an very nice breakfast that was by far the best I've had in Sri Lanka! The spread featured a variety of fresh fruits, pancakes, and sandwiches that filled me up for the day ahead. It was such a nice way to start my mornings, especially with tea served along with it!” view full review

My stay at The Dream Resort was a wonderful experience, featuring clean and well-equipped rooms. The only downside was encountering a few ants in the bathroom, which I attributed to the natural surroundings. Overall, the friendly service, delicious breakfast, and convenient location made my trip nice.

I had a lovely stay at The Dream Resort, where the owner was super accommodating and the nature around was beautiful. The room was cozy and clean, but it did get a bit humid, especially with the rain. Although there were some dripping issues during heavy rain, the hot water in the shower and comfortable bed made up for it.

I had a good stay at The Dream Resort, though I found the "Deluxe Apartment" a bit misleading since it was essentially just a larger room. The breakfast was a highlight, and the host was super kind, making my experience enjoyable. However, the room size didn't fully meet my expectations based on the description, which was a bit of a letdown.
