Kandalama Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Kandalama, Central Province

"Had the most amazing four night say at Vil Uyana. From the moment we arrived, greeted with a blue water lilly each - a nice touch - to our departure, the stay was a delight. Immediately out chalet was upgraded to a waterside property and we were introduced to our personal butler Prasanna who went out of his way to make our stay a delight, including serving us at breakfast and our evening meal, and showing us round the hotel organic farm where they source much of the ingredients for the wonderful meals in the restaurant situated above the lake. All the staff, including the lovely Dilshani who also served our table were so friendly and welcoming at every turn. Our ‘chalet’ was so comfortable and roomy we couldn’t believe it and staff came twice a day to service the room. We also took advantage of the hotel naturalist staff and enjoyed a birdwatching trip and a night time walk around the estate searching for the Loris who live there. Importantly for us the sustainability of the project is impeccable with as much use of local materials and as possible and a genuine commitment to sustainability. We were also keen to use local Sri Lankan hotels and guesthouses on our trip and Jetwings is just that, employing and training local people, especially young people and women ‘returners’. Brilliant!"

"Gorgeous hotel in a beautiful setting. In the middle of the forest, this is a hidden little gem, with lovely spacious clean rooms, exceptionally friendly staff, and a luxury lodge like feel! It was out of season, so the hotel was quite quiet, and we had the pool to ourselves. I imagine this is the perfect spa retreat in peak season! "

"Building and setting were lively but the comunal areas were lacking in atmosphere. There was no nice area for evening drinks which was disappointing."

"awesome pool, helpful staff, great food, excellent rooms"

"Fantastic location which is quite and peaceful location with wonderful mature trees. The service provided by Achini at the front office is well and beyond what was expected. She is a true asset to this hotel. If you want to see the elephants, this is a wonderful base for your safari."

"Loved the lake and surrounding area. It was so serene. Breakfast was included and was amazing. It was cozy detached cabana type of room. Friendly staff."

"As the hotel name suggests the property is located away from the city's hustle and bustle :) you are immersed in nature and its beautiful surroundings. The staff were welcoming and our check in was quick and smooth. Rooms are spacious with all the necessary amenities. There was enough water pressure from the shower head regardless of the negative comments some guests experienced. Food at the restaurant was deeeeelicious and plenty of varieties from Sri Lankan to international cusines my kids enjoyed their dinner and breakfast (ages 4, 8 and 13) Pool was clean and inviting. Now to the spa i cannot thank Andhira enough she was amazing. I highly recommend guests to stay at Sigiriya Jungles if you are looking for peace and quiet in the middle of nature. "
