The hotel is eco friendly with a great view of Sigiya mountain. Pool is to die for with enough chairs for the size of the hotel. Lots of grounds to walk in seeing the many monkeys and wildlife! Staff were friendly but could not converse well in English. The service was extremely slow around the pool and in the dining area. Quality of food was poor compared to other hotels we have stayed in. In fact we visited the Heritage hotel for dinner one night which was far superior to what we had at this hotel. It’s a pity as the hotel itself is lovely.

Luxurious but yet affordable resort
Amazing resort. Wonderfully laid out, with large walking tracks, huge green area nestled with unusual flora and fauna. Rooms are in spread out villas. Attentive staff. Great breakfast. It really felt like one is living inside a manicured forest!

Comfortable hotel
A comfortable hotel with a clear view of Sigiriya rock. Great service, good a la carte food. Lighting in the room is a little dim. Accessing the soap and shampoo dispensers is dufficult. Therefore can't give a 5 star eating to this hotel.

Loved everything about this property, its location looking at Pidurangala and Sigiriya Rock was stunning. Plenty of food options. Staff were super helpful and couldn’t do enough to please, constantly checking that everything was okay. They would arrange Tuktuk, private drivers and even check train travel for us. Would definitely stay here again

When you first walk up the steps to reception, the view just blows you away. Wonderful outlook onto Sigirya Rock with the infinity pool in the foreground. Our chalet room was large, cool and comfortable. The grounds were lovely, as was the pool and the spa. The food was mainly buffet and excellent. The staff were awesome. Very thrilled with our stay.

Exquisite property; beautiful lobby with incredible views; the grounds are elegantly maintained per the natural environment. Rooms are large & comfy with great bathrooms. The oversized pool with views of surrounding area is magnificent; at night there are twinkling lights in pool floor which makes for magical swimming. We were there on full moon which was incredibly romantic. Food in restaurant is top notch. Look forward to returning for a longer stay! Thank you

Incredible experience
An incredible hotel. You might book, like me, due to the location and the view of Sigirya, however you will not want to leave this hotel. Fabulous staff (Roshan at guest relations was particularly fabulous), and great facilities. The pool is amazing. To be able to swim in a such a huge pool and also have the view is a great experience. I stayed I one of the wooden bungalows, built out of recycled wooden packing containers. It was wonderful. Even the art was recycled, but in the nicest style! The internet was the only slight let down.
