It was a nice place with big rooms. A little far from anything so you had to take a hotel car which is more expensive than finding a tuk tuk on your own. Menu is very limited for vegetarian options.

A great hotel that made our holiday special

A wonderful hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. They made us feel very welcome from the start, and the entrance leads on to a nice grassy field. In from reception is a large refreshing swimming pool that helped me get my evening swim. The nice room was simple and comfortable and bathroom smelt lovely! The restaurant had a good variety of food fruit and drinks for breakfast, and there was again a great choice for the buffet dinner. I ordered off the a la carte menu too and the portions were generous and delicious! Thank you for making it a special stay!

Good property in a green resort like ambience. Good value for money. Food was a very pleasant surprise - excellent quality of cooking - both Sri Lankan and Continental. Very good breakfast. Staff were very helpful. WiFi accessible in rooms and common area. Decent swimming pool though a bit shallow. However too many flies in the open dining area in daytime as well as nighttime - which made dining a less pleasant experience despite the good food - the staff were clueless what to do about the flies. Room lighting was too low & gloomy; and no solutions provided. Nice large room & bathroom although furnished sparsely. But sunlight streaked into the bed through the skylight disturbing one's sleep.

Hôtel parfait!

Hôtel extrêmement bien situé pour faire les visites environnantes (Dambula, Lion rock Sigiriya, polonnaruwa, safari, etc) Le personnel est charmant et aux petits soins et la réception très efficace pour l’organisation des transports. Buffets variés et bien présentés dans un restaurant agréable. Nourriture de qualité. Bons cocktails et jus frais au bar le soir pour l’apéro. Belle piscine dans un jardin bien entretenu. Les chambres sont spacieuses et propres. Nous avons énormément apprécié notre séjour dans cet établissement.

Very Enjoyable Stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Camellia Resort. The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. And, the staff was terrific! Everyone was so helpful and friendly! One thing that really made our stay great was the Food and Beverage Manager, Roshan, going out of his way to make sure that our dietary restrictions were accommodated at every meal. We were very pleased with the food options, especially all the Sri Lankan dishes! The only downside for us was that there was no wifi available in the room, so we had to go to the restaurant or lobby to access wifi. Other than that, we were very happy with our stay at Camellia Resort!

Bra hotell i lantlig miljö.

Bra hotell i fridfullt läge bland risfälten. Trevlig personal men receptionspersonalen var otydliga så vi måste betala för bastu trots att vi uppfattade att det ingick när vi tog en spa behandling. Snålt att ta betalt för bastu tycker vi.

文化三角地点の真ん中で観光に便利

文化三角地点の観光に便利です。宿泊したのはシギリアロックが見えるラッキールームでした。シャワーの温水は高温でたっぷりで観光で疲れた身体を癒してくれました。お部屋の不満はコネクティング用ドアから隣室の声が漏れ安眠を妨げることです。及び運転手用の宿泊部屋が少なく、運転手は3泊中1泊のみ同ホテルで宿泊でき、2泊は他ホテルに行きました。
