“Colombo's resort feel”
Like staying at a resort, Cinnamon Lakeside is a well-run excellent stay: great facilities — a pool, gym, sauna and steam room plus cafes, restaurants and a spa — plentiful staff who are very helpful and friendly, a serviceable lunch buffet, the best breakfast-lunch-dinner spread with Chinese cuisine plus western, Sri Lankan and Indian buffet options, a best location and full entertainment. One nit: amenities run short (no face towels, hangers or toothbrush sets per a guest.)
