As for the $90 per person buffet in the evening, just avoid.
Very keen to hear more - we are doing exactly the same, 2 nights as a stopover prior to going on to the St Regis. Primarily because we are at high risk of a misconnect on the flight coming in (<1 hr connection in Colombo) so may arrive after sunset and secondarily to take a day for jet lag.
Any comments on room quality (was the bed comfortable? Was the room clean?) and on the house reef would be particularly welcome.
