You know the old saying...something about 'singing for you supper'...well, at Mount Lavinia, after breakfast, they sung for their tips...a little too loudly.
OK, there was no actual singing involved (though, that would have been nice), but there was definitely an overbearing quality to the staff: that kind of forced friendliness that betrayed the pound signs behind their eyes.
In fact, the doorman was so in my face that he ruined the experience by following me around to tell me that I was going to be blessed with nine sons - I'm not tipping you for talking rubbish...besides, to me, that sounded more like a curse than a blessing...nine sons, honestly!
I can't comment too much on dinner, as we only had a buffet breakfast at the Governor's Restaurant, but I can say that the quality, taste and presentation fell in between that of Galle Face Hotel and Amaya Hills. Despite being better than Galle Face Hotel, I think I'd rather stay there as the view catered to my tastes better...and the doorman at Galle Face Hotel did not follow me around like a leech.
