This is a beautiful property. We loved our room, verandah and open air shower. The bar and buffet dining was excellent. Staff was extremely courteous and professional. During our stay there it rained and we had rooms furthest from the lobby area. Parts of the walk to our room were unprotected from the rain and the walkways were quite wet and slippery despite attempts by the staff to mop. Further protection from adverse weather conditions would be appreciated. Overall, loved our stay at this property and would highly recommend to others.

Great stay at Jetwing From the start the staff were friendly and welcoming. Easy check in and shown to our beach view room. Room was very clean and spacious. Large shower room and deck area were great. Extensive food options avaialble and all that we had were very tasty. Other facilities like pool and gym appeared inviting, although we only had 2 nights and so were unable to make use, as we had trips planned. Had a great stay and would recommend.

The hotel is spacious and very clean. The buffet was ok but not worth the price. We found great food at the a la carte restaurant fir half the price. The pool is excellent for lap swimmers. At night occasionally elephants come to the pool and other animals. Lots and lots of monkeys but they did not bother us at all.

The staff were lovely and extremely helpful. The food is very good with an extensive breakfast buffet, cooked by very friendly chefs to order. They will pack up a picnic if you’re going into the Park early. The swimming pool is desperately in need of repair as there are many missing tiles and the flagstones around it wobble when walked on.

We absolutely loved the hotel and the ambience, especially how it's blended into the nature. It's lovely to see the monkeys, birds, lizards running around. We took the safari the hotel arranged and it was amazing. However, the dinner buffet was disappointing and overpriced. For the second evening we had to drive out for 30 minutes to the nearby town Tissa to eat out. The service is lacking and it's not 5-star hotel standard. The staff were more friendly to the locals than foreigners. We felt slight judgement from them too. They weren't keen to offer help or service. We had to ask and keep asking. Although for what we asked we got the service needed. Overall we are happy with the stay.

Overall good with so much potential

The place is so lovely with a very nice pool and beach access. So much potential and so near the safari. However, I had some mishaps which might be isolated to me. The porters accidentally broke my Samsonite luggage handle, no towels in the room and called for ice twice but wasn't sent. Other than these, I would recommend them highly. Oh yes, toilet smelt slightly mouldy.

Room was comfortable, however the bathrooms were not air conditioned as they were open to the air, which made them quite hot during the day. Food selection was reasonable and the chef was nice and very careful to accommodate my spouse’s dietary restrictions (food allergy). Staff was professional and very nice, which was our experience across all resorts in Sri Lanka. Amazing service by super nice people!

This was the fourth hotel I stayed in in Sri Lanka, and unfortunately was a let down in a number of respects. My initial impression was positive as the property is large, (seemed) peaceful and has lovely views. While being checked into my room I was a bit surprised about being asked if I needed to know how to use the facilities in the room. Of course I would! The air con had no remote control and was hidden in the corner and I wouldn’t have found the controller had I not asked. The woman showing me in seemed sullen and miserable. Again, initial impressions of the room were quite good - very large and spacious with a ginormous bathroom. After that I noticed a few minor inconveniences - hardly any plug sockets, room safe didn’t work and the bedding was really uncomfortable. The sheet was too small for the bed and was fitted over a slippery mattress protector. Later that night I found myself slipping and sliding around a lot, which contributed in part to two very bad nights’ sleep. First morning I woke early to go on safari and the packed breakfast was adequate although the bread was stale and I couldn’t eat most of what was in the box as it had cakes/croissants etc. and I can’t eat anything containing dairy. After the safari I went to the pool. Very quiet and peaceful but hard to relax as there are little shaded areas and the loungers don’t have cushions and so are really uncomfortable. I was going to order a drink but asked for the menu and asked for about ten minutes to cons
