Wonderful hotel with the most kind and helpful staff. Beautiful location, clean and tidy rooms and space and the pool was lush.
We had a great stay here with my son, husband and sister in law.
Definitely recommend and hope to come back one day.
The hotel were also extremely accomodating with a mix up that I made with the booking. They went above and beyond to help.

This is a beautiful peaceful forest resort nestled in a rural forest like area not too far from Sigiriya fort, Dambulla cave temple and Minneriya national park, which were the three attractions we saw in the area. The resort has a great spread of both international and local options breakfast and dinner buffet on weekdays and lunch buffet too on Fridays and Saturdays. A la carte menu is limited but sufficient and we'll prepared.
The chefs, hotel staff and management are very sweet people and are very attentive to your needs.
The rooms are spacious with large bathrooms. Very comfortable beds. AC wasn't great in one of our rooms but they promptly serviced it and made it better.
The open air pools are fantastic and has a nature pond feel to it. Water is not too chlorinated either and is very refreshing to swim.
Truly enjoyed this relaxing hideaway in Dambulla for the three nights we stayed there.
Would recommend!

Amazing place , very clean
Staff are so helpful and welcoming
Breakfast was perfect
Chambre ne ressemble pas au photo. L’isolation à revoir . Odeur lugubre dans la salle de bain. Peu ou pas du tout d’eau chaude. Toute les prises de la chambre sont inaptes. En revanche personnel très gentil .

Très agréable séjour proche de Sighiria
Très belle résidence hôtelière avec piscines. Grandes cabanes en dur, très bien équipées, bonne literie. Au milieu de la nature, un peu excentrée, au calme. Spa et restaurant. À proximité de lion rock. Je recommande !
