"Truly a once in a lifetime experience staying in this hotel. It is built around the rock face overlooking a lake and you really do feel entirely immersed in the nature. We had monkeys on our balcony as well as in the open corridors on the way to breakfast, we even saw a wild elephant on the island opposite from the lobby, it was incredible! There are also three pools to choose from, my favourite was the infinity one overlooking the lake which was the best view I have ever swam with.
The location is great too as a base for the cultural triangle. We did lions rock and an elephant safari one day, on which we saw over 200 wild elephants. The next day we also did the Dambulla cave temple so you can do so much around this location. Wish we could have stayed for longer than the two nights we did to enjoy the hotel itself more as well as all the sites to see in the area.
The room was comfortable and clean and the staff were always so helpful and welcoming. The food was amazing with so many choices for breakfast and in the buffet restaurant in the evening."
"Hotel and staff were absolutely amazing. So relaxing and beautiful.
Would recommend, the scenery is beautiful, staff go out of your way to help you. Food was wonderful"
"Reception staff really friendly. Room and bathroom was clean. Property could do with a bit of maintenance in places though. Also no safe available in room. Not many sunbeds around the pool.
Samman provided us with 2 great tours. He was excellent and went above and beyond. "
