    The view is outstanding. The hotel reception is perched on top of stairs with breathtaking view of the rock. The swimming pool also has an amazing view. Loved the vibe of the hotel, the room was very nice (nicer than i expected from the pictures!). The staff was very nice. We had buffet dinner and buffet breakfast and were very satisfied. The location is good, close enough to the rock to do it at sunrise then come back to the hotel to enjoy a nice breakfast.

    The cleanliness of the room. The was some paint peeling off after the leakage or the tabs had some water stains so did the shower door

    Swimming pool open till late and great for kids. Tiny lights on the bottom made it look really cool at night

    Needs more sunloungers and the area under the pool was derelict - unattended bars, restaurants etc which was a shame. The paths could be much better lit as walking about at night can be a bit hairy at time. We had a good few cockroaches in our room we had to address….. Aircon could be a LOT stronger for the size of the room even when at its lowest setting. The bathroom has outside ventilation with a mosquito net, so becomes very very hot, not benefitting from the aircon and kind of negates the aircon working hard in the room. Variety at dinners would be good else it becomes very repetitive.

    Unbelievable pool. It’s the selling point of the hotel for sure! Good location for safari, the rock, massage etc.

    We booked a family room, it's a duplex - the stairs are small and there's only one bathroom. Food was ok but not wow.

    Friendly staff, view from the pool is beautiful, spacious room.

    It is in the middle of nature so expect some lizards or visitors.. for me it didn’t bother, but my husband freaked out

    Great.. amazing.. I am really happy I changed the itinerary and came here .. this hotel is amazing. Just come.. the walking path inside, the pool, the people, the food offer

    The food - the buffet was mediocre. The specialty restaurant for srilankan food was a big disappointment. It was a set menu and the cook did a good job but the servers had no clue. Food was cold and most of the dishes were not even served. Just kept on the next table. No order of service, no explanations, just dumped. The location- it's a bit far from all the restaurants and shops, getting tuktuk is not easy. You have to use the hotel taxi.

    The staff and the cleanliness was excellent. The spa was good too. Comfortable beds, good size of room. Comfortable stay. Nice property.

    Not enough seats around the pool. Some of the on-site dining options could be improved.

    It would have been better to have had an introduction to all the facilities even by referring to the video. We found out about the local dining options too late as 24hrs notice was required. The food was extensive and varied but not of a high standard

    Without doubt the pool, the setting and the staff were outstanding. The yoga and nature walk were nice additions (Lathmi was knowledgeable bird guide). Chatonay was incredibly attentive at all times. The rooms were comfortable, the person hygiene items delectable (I purchased some to take home).
