Very expensive stay for not much facilities. Staff barely able to understand requests. No timely answers for queries before we arrived at the property. Staff do not go out of the way to make your experience pleasant at all. Breakfast was below average. For the expensive pricing, you would expect a better spread, but no. Cleanliness of property is also below average when you compare with similar properties in the price range.

Lovely property with very friendly and attentive staff. Issues with cleanliness - dirty towels in room and no hand / face towels, with COVID measures - barely any mask wearers in buffet dining with no hand sanitisation in sight despite shared use of serving spoons, with no enforcement or basic measures in place. Also had photos of jacuzzi bathtub in photos but no jacuzzi in the room - there was a switch in the bathroom that was labelled Jacuzzi but did nothing.

Lovely, modern design hotel with great pool and gardens. Good selection of food in the restaurant although we have had better on our trip. Villa room was comfortable although the sofa certainly needed replacing. About 10 mins tuk tuk ride from main attractions.

The resort itself is gorgeous, the pool is lovely, the food was pretty decent, and the staff were friendly and super helpful! They helped us organize a safari nearby, a tuktuk to Lion's Rock (Sigiriya), and a taxi back to Colombo. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back myself!

We were lied to constantly. This hotel doesnt like Foreigners. We had 2 rats in our room going into our luggage locking for food. The front desk guy Christopher keep lying about the hotel being full and we couldnt move. The hotel was largely empty. I am going to ask you for a complete refund of the money i paid you.

Beautiful hotel in wonderful areaCrazy swimming pool in the rice fieldBig confortable roomBUT: it must have been a beautiful hotel in the past but when you look better there is big lack of reparation! Everything should need some work in the room : walls, roof, furnitures, fridge out of order....And the service is really under the level of the hotel: only one little bottle provide the first day, second day no tower in the bathroom; I asked 4 times an adaptator for plug electricity (because they have ONLY locals ones in the room) and finally I had to go in town and buy one!But honestly for the price I paid it was still a good stay

The views were gorgeous. The location was serene. It's far enough away to have peace and quiet but near enough to popular sites to enjoy whatever type of trip you're looking for. The dinner and breakfast buffets were delicious and had a nice variety to choose from. The service was friendly and welcoming. The on-site Ayurvedic massage was heavenly, and the pool at sunset with a cocktail was an experience to remember. The room was comfortable, the wifi worked well enough, and the shower had good temperature and pressure. Overall, a terrific stay. We stayed here for one night at the start of a two-week trip around Sri Lanka, and it was the perfect way to start.

This is a beautiful hotel set in stunning and extensive grounds. Check-in was great and our room was spacious and clean. However this hotel is let down by the restaurant. For dinner, we were told we had to use the buffet which is Rs.2200 (rather a lot for Sri Lanka). This would’ve been fine however the vegetarian options at the buffet were extremely poor. They were a cheap looking pizza under a heat lamp, pasta with pesto (student food), and some dhal. Definitely not worth it if you are vegetarian. So my boyfriend and I both ordered the same main and a couple of small sides from the a la carte. When the food came, however, the waiter only bought one main. We explained that we ordered two, and he then argued with us telling us that we only ordered one (why would we only order one main meal for two people?). Instead of bringing another meal, he went to the buffet and brought over a plate of stale bread rolls, put them down on the table and said these are free. We ended up sharing one meal. I then ordered a dessert. The dessert order was ignored even when I asked for it twice. Eventually, he came over with the dessert with melted ice cream, and told us we had to pay right then and we couldn’t put it on the room. He wouldn’t give me the total I had to work it out with pen and paper. Then he TOOK MY CARD away and came back and told me to put my PIN in but wouldn’t tell me the amount. Very dodgy. I had to complain to the manager. Also air con and fan barely worked in room. Poor.

Gorgeous setting! Rooms very comfortable with good amenities. Pool and suppoundings idilic! Perfect for a base to visit we stayed 2 nights. Bed comfortable.Dinner and breakfast served as buffet which got busy and noisy. Best to sit outside to avoid the crush! Food nice but not a pleasant experience.

Swimming pool was great apart from that the whole stay was disappointing. The manager wasn’t helpful atall and we had hundreads of ants in our beding everyday. We had to have our bedding changed every night and wasn’t acceptable atall

Three comments: First, install anti-bird "pokey" wires above the balconies. We found a LOT of poop on our balcony. It was impassable. Response by staff was immediate and it was cleaned up. Second, India and Sri Lanka suffer from the same problem: point-source lights. The spa atmosphere at this hotel was excellent EXCEPT for blinding (or blinking in the dining area) lightbulbs. A hotel should not look like a night market. Bounce-lighting creates the entire night ambiance and both countries' tourism industries (as in, architecture and interior design) seem to have missed this one. Think of it as painting with light. Third: the WIFI at a resort of this caliber should be bullet-proof. Despite these (very minor) negatives, we had an absolutely delightful stay. It was obvious a lot of care and attention was put into this quiet, restful resort.

Great location and great property. Property administration is very poor. They try to do everything possible, but due to very poor planning and preparation, all staff seems o be stress. Their stress driving guests frustrated. Entire team need a good training and daily planning. Seems that property manager is a very poor planner. He or she does things by the book and not thinking outside the square. When you run a good property like this need to be flexible per guest requirement, but this property management is not flexible or not understanding guest comfort. It is sad to see and will not sustainable long term.

All good and had a good stay over there. Good location and surroundings.It may be good if the hotel has some entertainment activity at dinner time(music or any other show) during weekends. I think it needs to fix a glass door to separate the bathing area in order to prevent water from spreading in the washroom area.
