My appriciation to the hard work done by the Vice President Sri Lal Mendis & Suraj Perera who did a fantastic job with the ISO project in this hotel the first ever in the hotel industry in Sri Lanka.

i have travelled recently to cinamon and its my preferred hotel whenever i visit srilanka. for your information with this present traffic chaos and security checks no one would be reaching the hotel within 04 hrs. there was an article recently to this effect in some papaer as we always tend to get the total Km and divide by avg speed to arrive at the transport time which is no more correct. we must take into account the ground reality.
also you have not mentioned any worthwhile about there pool as for me its one of the best in cultural triangle. also their service is very good.
keep it up
