- better vegan option and traditional Sri Lankan breakfast would have been good

- beautifully designed tents around the pool area - very good AC - our waiter Pradeep was the most friendly one we had during our whole journey

This isn’t definitely a 5 stars hotel, resort or anything of the like. The tents are poorly built and finished with bits of the interior finishes sticking out - you can see it is basically glued up. Everywhere you look, you can see dirty walls, bits of the decoration paper in the shower detaching, etc. Finally, the hotel entertains the typical overcharging attitude towards tourists (drivers, etc.).

Breakfast and location were reasonable.

The idea of individual pods are great and looks aesthetic (on the photos) but the toilet is a bit tacky (wallpaper inside the shower that is falling off). Also, we didnt able to sleep well at night coz there was this 'unknown creature' between the wall or ceiling that keeps on scratching and makes stumping noises (could be rat or anything).

Staff are amazing! They are very attentive and always making sure you are comfortable. Food and service is great. Good size of pool and I love the hammocks around it.

spacious room but a lot of mosquitos upon check-in. glad we had mosquitos nets around the bed otherwise was going to be impossible to overnight. food wasn't great and the only thing we could eat during meals was fried rice. the breakfast is also very poor, the fruit is standing outdoors from the moment breakfast is served until they clean up to end the service, so if you would go later for brekkie the fruits looked and tasted spoiled. were able to eat toasted bread with butter but not every day butter was available. this hotel has a lot to improve. the only good thing I have to mention is that the location is close to Sigiryia and staff were friendly and tried to help but they couldn't do better.

This hotel is simply stunning. The reception open plan area is clean and welcoming. Our family room villa was clean and comfortable and better than we had expected. The children loved the pool area and also playing pool in the evening. The food was delicious and they were very accommodating with food choice for what ever we wanted. The staff work so hard and are very polite. Thank you for such a memorable stay.

Food at restaurant wasn’t enjoyable and the staff weren’t overally friendly. We thought it was very expensive for what is was. The bathroom was also dated looking and felt old. Aircon wasn’t great and beds weren’t very comfy.

Location was perfect for visiting the sites and we were welcomed with a nice refreshing towel and a welcome drink which was appreciated.

- nice and calm resort close to the Lions Rock - beautiful accomondation (glamping) and good breakfast - lovely staff (everybody was so helpful and nice: we wanted to take the famous train in the highlands but weren t able to get some last minute tickets and the guys from the reception organized it for us)

For us it felt a bit too “resorty” and somehow cut off from the village and real Sri Lankan life behind those tall fence walls. But it’s called a resort after all so not their fault at all, just not a perfect fit.

Everything was alright, staff very friendly, room as expected and the garden with pool is pretty nice.

the receptionist is more than friendly and service oriented. the whole crew makes the stay to an remarkable event.

Perfect location to start a 3 week Sri Lanka trip. The location is beautiful with a clean pool, good food and very (!!!) nice staff. the cabins are super cozy and give you a lot of privacy. they provide a local Tuktuk driver who shows you the area really well. everything perfect here and would always come back.

We stayed at this resort and had an amazing time. All food was of a very high quality and my wife as a foreigner highly appreciated. The facilities are located beautifully and conveniently; they are all new and clean. The room is different structure and spacious and beautiful. People are just amazing. I’ll gladly stay there again and certainly recommend!

Very dirty kitchen, poor and not very tasty breakfast. The worst cofee i ever drink,. The price of our room also included dinner, which was not a buffet, there were only 2 identical options, not exceptionally well cooked. Again, the kitchen was horribly dirty, you could see it from the outside and the fruit I think had been cut without the employee having washed their hands first. Not value for the money.

The stuff, girls from reception was very helpfull, nice and kind. Also the guys from the bar, who were very attentive and appeared exactly when you needed them.

bathroom door is semi transparent (what is with this trend btw? some of us travel with people who we do not want to see naked) we were served precooked fish rolls for breakfast that have gone bad. we had to survive on bread and butter.

Friendly staff and service. A decent family room.
