Wonderful hotel and the staff are exceptional. Large room, great options on menu. If you need washing done this is the place. Same day turn around and it comes back smelling amazing. Can’t say enough how wonderful, friendly and helpful the staff are. This is a mist staff hotel.

One of the best places I’ve ever stayed. The staff were wonderful. Rooms spacious and clean. Pool was great and food was lovely. Close to the safari and elephant sanctuary. We stayed with a group of friends and two young toddlers and had a wonderful time. Had all our washing cleaned, treats left in our rooms and balloons for the kids. Just a wonderful and relaxing time. You should really book your this resort.

Staff always have a smile and will get you anything you need. Nice and clean room and communal areas, good variety of food. Great location if you are visiting for the Safari, only ten minutes up the road. The transition centre, where you can see the young elephants being fed, is even closer.

We loved our stay here! The staff were all great, the campus was clean and well taken care of, and our room was very nice. The restaurant breakfast and dinner buffets had a nice variety of food options as well. Watch out for monkeys in the morning - one tried to steal our cream and sugar during morning coffee on the balcony.

Property was hugely convenient for the udawalawe game reserve. The staff were very pleasant. And that was about it…. The hotel was dark, our room was unbelievably dark, and the food was disgusting. Our two meals were inedible. We left a day early.

Familystay

The rooms where big and nice. The bathrooms where very small and the bathtub got stains. Poolarea was clean but it would have been nice with a deck to walk on instead of old grass and dirt. Diningarea was not cozy at all. Good for a short stay when you go on safaris etc.

Vi blev tildelt et andet værelse end det vi havde booket. Det var fugtigt (synligt på væggen og lugtede også), mørkt og beskidt. Det virkede til at værelserne i den nye del af resortet var i bedre stand! Der blev ikke gjort noget ved vores klage ift værelsesskift. Personalet var generelt venlige, men selve værelserne og faciliteterne trænger til en kærlig hånd.

En stor och lyxig resort nära nationalparken. Vi hade en suit som var väldigt fin med en härlig regndush som var perfekt efter en dammig safari. Skön stor säng.
