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.

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.

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.

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.

great stay in a great hotel

We had a fantastic time, the food was great - so many gluten free options, I’m coeliac so that made a huge difference. It was my 30th birthday when we arrived, they decorated my room, gave me a free drink and also made me a gluten free cake and sang to me - brilliant! This hotel was lovely, clean, had great pool and the staff were kind, attentive and always pleasant. we would definitely visit again :)

Die Anlage und Ausstattung sind ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen und extrem heruntergekommen. Es ist nicht besonders sauber, Betten sind ungemütlich und Personal im Restaurant nicht sehr freundlich. Preis Leistungs Verhältnisse stimmen auch nicht. Es ist ziemlich teuer für das was es ist. Wir sind 2 Nächte geblieben was ich definitiv nicht empfehlen würde. Eine Nacht reicht.
