Lovely calm resort. Felt like a retreat. Loved the location. Set in the jungle. Dinner was lovely.
The resort is beautiful, the surrounding lake makes the perfect spot for a morning stroll. The staff was very attentive, the room spacious. We had both a la carts and buffet menu, both were delicious. Convenient location to visit the Lion Rock.
Great place with a beautiful location. Very friendly staff.

We stayed in a Signature Premium Suite and can't fault the room at all. It was in good shape, spotlessly clean and very spacious. Staff were incredibly friendly and the golf buggy shuttle provided by the hotel was very helpful, especially when it was raining. The food at the bar was lovely, as were the drinks. Both the pools were really big and the hotel is in a beautiful location. Only downside for us was the buffet for dinner which is why we decided to eat at the bar the second night. Would highly recommend this hotel!
Loved the lake and surrounding area. It was so serene. Breakfast was included and was amazing. It was cozy detached cabana type of room. Friendly staff.

The location of the property is excellent but the housekeeping services are below average. The restaurant staff was excellent- Mr. Jayararatne and waiter Mr. Imalsha are extremely good and made every meal a pleasant experience
We loved staying at this hotel and found the setting and scenery very beautiful. the hotel consists of little bungalows inside the forest, right next to the lake. I would like to see more information about the hotel services to be more readily available in the rooms and public areas (ie spa & other facilities). the pool should be renovated and enlarged. Also the hotel should provide some paddle boats and kayaks for rent so that people can enjoy the beautiful lake.
Excellent customwr service all round from everyone
We had an absolute great time, i must say the level of customer service was excellent and 5 star, ranging from oir porters, to front desk to the ladies and gents who served us and worked in the restaurant!! Well done!! We shall be back again, beautiful relaxing location as well!!

A very average stay. I’m not sure I would recommend this. The staff are lovely but the rooms are very dated. I don’t think it’s worth the price when there’s many other amazing properties in the area.
Amazing place. Very friendly staff. Great Food. Will go there again.

Expected more given the price. Amenities in the room weren’t great. Wouldn’t recommend to stay here, nicer places in the area. Not horrible, but not great.
This property needs a serious renovation and repairs. The Amaya group is milking the property as much as possible without the considerations to customers.
The hotel is really amazing. Perfect place for the family stay. Huge beds, calm area, tree house, swings, and much much more what people with kids will enjoy.
When buffet breakfast or dinner offered, it has a big variety of different cousin - European, SriLankan, Indian, etc.
Staff was amazing, polite and friendly. Starting from cleaners, and ending with receptionist. Special thanks to staff who served breakfast and dinner. They are amazing.
Three nights in this hotel wasn't enough for us. Definitely will return and stay in this hotel again.
Property has only one restaurant. It get crowded quickly. Had wait long for a table, food etc especially hopper stand. Management shd fix this bottleneck
