Out of every hotel we have stayed at in Sri Lanka, this was the best. It was classy. They did absolutely everything right. The staff were always smiling and helpful. The food was amazing. The chef is so talented. Best stay ever. Wish it could be longer.

Convenient stay near Udawalawe National Park

A one night stay for the national park so a clean room is all we needed. The room was better than we expected and comfortable. We has dinner and breakfast - food was 'OK'. Reception staff were very helpful, restaurant staff could be more attentive. Best is it is opposite elephant transit home which was, in some ways, better than the safari.

Nice hotel

Lovely, clean hotel. Coffee/tea provided. Only downside was the internet was down for over 24hrs. They said it was due to an outside fault.
