Superb dining is just
some of the experiences to indulge in. Dinner on the terrace watching
the waves crashing on the rocks below is an experience as is seafood
barbeque among the rocks. Buffets served in the main coffee shop are
characterised by choice and taste. The orange sauces of the chef are a
delight. Alternatively dine a la carte on the upper
floor astride a large semi covered pond where candle lights float on the
water and a terrace offers a great view of Galle. The furnishings
throughout the hotel are minimalist, giving a feel of spaciousness, but
dotted throughout with antique reproductions of the Dutch Galle Fort
era.
