Didn't realise there was going to be a pool - what a surprise! We jumped in after our afternoon safari. Speaking of which, the hotel were incredibly helpful at helping us organise our safari last minute. The people here are so kind. We were greeted with drinks when we arrived, when we came back from safari. It's all felt very luxurious! Dinner was really tasty, as was breakfast and the room is really nice.

    The whole experience was amazing. The room was great, no large in size but perfectly adequate with a large covered outside area. All the staff were wonderful along with the home cooked meals! We highly recommend Ceylon resort especially if doing a safari at Willpattu, which they also offer!

    This place is all about it's people. Roshan and his family go above and beyond to make your stay special. The food, all locally sourced and home made, is an experience in itself. Roshan also arranged the Safari for us, with a very experienced driver. Sandmal, our driver is very good at spotting animals. We saw leopards, elephants, sloth bears, and many other animals and birds during our full day Safari. Do take a quick walk down to the secret tranquil lake for an amazing sunset view.

    The food and service at The Backwater's Lodge was exceptional and even though we missed our flight connection they rearranged everything without any issue. I recommend a swim in the river after a day safari!

    We really enjoyed staying in a tent in this small eco-lodge near the entrance to Wilpattu. The owner is an academic who is exceptionally well informed about the flora and fauna in the park - it was a great experience to go on safari with him twice. The tents are basic but comfortable, and the outside bathroom turned out to be much better than we feared! It is a very quiet and secluded place to stay. The food was also delicious.

    We had me of the best sleeps there during our whole stay in Sri Lanka! They have really comfy glamping tents and huge outdoor bathrooms. The safari was THE BEST and one of the biologists who runs the lodge accompanied us and told us so much about the wildlife.

    The host is a well known bioligist who build a few lodges next to the national park entrance and situated in the rice fields. Do not expect any luxury. The money earned go’s after costs back to nature preservation. GO HERE!!
