    There was nothing to dislike. The staff were extremely attentive and helpful. Infinity pool to relax in particularly at sunset. Clean rooms and very accommodating staff.

    The property was spotless and extremely well situated just out of the grid lock traffic. Spotlessly clean, magnificent calming views over the country side.

    The room is something special and the pool area, wow! Great view. The staff are great very kind! Best view and best restaurant in sri lanka (we are at the end of our vacation after 20 days). I really recommend the garlic rice and Chilli chicken 😅 we enjoyed the hotel facilities and next morning had a ride to ambuluwawa tower (30 minutes).

    Cabana is isolated from the main building by many steps, so for those who have heavy bags (like we had) it could be a challenge. But staff will definitely help.

    We stayed in cabana and it was one of the best night during our trip. Perfect views, tasty food, good cocktails, sounds of river and nature. Moreover, house is in a quite good condition. Thank you!

    Nothing. I just only would recommend to make small notes for guests (tell about breakfast options and how to order breakfast, tell about power sockets type (they are not European standard) and how to turn in hot water. That would be perfect to know in advance ☺️

    The place is great. Views are beautiful, staff is very nice, infinity pool is amazing

    The hotel is very modern and clean. The pool was also very clean and offers a great view over the countryside. We had the same beautiful view from the balcony of the room. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We were a little sick when we arrived so the staff provided us with tea and medicine. We would choose this hotel again on our next trip. Thank you very much for the good time!

    Naleem and his team are super friendly and helpful. Naleem is one of the most attentive and helpful hotel managers we have had the pleasure of meeting. Nothing was too much trouble for him to organize and he was ever willing to offer assistance when needed. We really enjoyed our long chats with Naleem. The resort itself is set in a stunning location and very luxurious. Meals are well prepared and delicious. Restaurant staff are very attentive. We really enjoyed our time here so much so that we have decided to return for a further 2 nights next week.

    No sunbeds at the pool, so you have to lay on the ground or sit on a chair which is a little bit weird at such a nice pool.

    Pool and the view is incredible. Very friendly service personell. Good breakfast and big meals at the restaurant.

    Because of the big crisis this year, they started systematic power outages all over the island. Our hotel did not yet have a powerful enough generator to cover the entire area, but the lights were always on in the restaurant during dinner. It was a little inconvenient, but we were informed that a new large generator had already been ordered. I'm sorry to hear about this situation on the island, I hope the government fixes it soon. It would have been nice to have some sort of insect protection in the big house.

    We lived in a separate house at first. There are very beautiful steps leading up to it, all handmade, with flowers and lighting. The house is big, wooden, smelled like wood, and it was beautiful. The bathroom is clean and beautiful. You can see chipmunks and monkeys and beautiful birds from the balcony. Then we were in an air-conditioned room, and it was beautiful too, spacious, with a beautiful view out the window and with a balcony. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The pool was nice, but a little chilly for us.
