Notes and booking tips

• “Private pool” can mean a true exclusive pool, a private plunge pool, or a pool shared by 2–3 villas at some properties — check the exact room/villa category before booking. (Sources above indicate which room types have private pools.) (legacy.resplendentceylon.com)
• Peak season on the southern coast runs roughly November–April; advance booking is strongly recommended for villas with private pools.
• If you want, I can (a) narrow this to a specific region (south coast, Cultural Triangle, hill country), (b) compare price ranges and best room categories with private pools, or (c check live availability/rates for specific dates. Which would you prefer?
