It was a nice place with big rooms. A little far from anything so you had to take a hotel car which is more expensive than finding a tuk tuk on your own. Menu is very limited for vegetarian options.

A great hotel that made our holiday special
A wonderful hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. They made us feel very welcome from the start, and the entrance leads on to a nice grassy field. In from reception is a large refreshing swimming pool that helped me get my evening swim. The nice room was simple and comfortable and bathroom smelt lovely! The restaurant had a good variety of food fruit and drinks for breakfast, and there was again a great choice for the buffet dinner. I ordered off the a la carte menu too and the portions were generous and delicious! Thank you for making it a special stay!

Good property in a green resort like ambience. Good value for money. Food was a very pleasant surprise - excellent quality of cooking - both Sri Lankan and Continental. Very good breakfast. Staff were very helpful. WiFi accessible in rooms and common area. Decent swimming pool though a bit shallow. However too many flies in the open dining area in daytime as well as nighttime - which made dining a less pleasant experience despite the good food - the staff were clueless what to do about the flies. Room lighting was too low & gloomy; and no solutions provided. Nice large room & bathroom although furnished sparsely. But sunlight streaked into the bed through the skylight disturbing one's sleep.

Very Enjoyable Stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at Camellia Resort. The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. And, the staff was terrific! Everyone was so helpful and friendly! One thing that really made our stay great was the Food and Beverage Manager, Roshan, going out of his way to make sure that our dietary restrictions were accommodated at every meal. We were very pleased with the food options, especially all the Sri Lankan dishes! The only downside for us was that there was no wifi available in the room, so we had to go to the restaurant or lobby to access wifi. Other than that, we were very happy with our stay at Camellia Resort!

Really great hotel - lovely staff, immaculately clean - comfortable beds - great food - amazing value - We are 'independant' travellers and it would have been good to have had a bit more information available at reception about Sigiriya and the surrounding areas, however manager was very helpful and arranged TukTuks and taxis as required.

Lovely resort with excellent customer service
We were very please with our stay at Camelia. The hotel staff went above and beyond in providing us with exceptional service. One member in our party had severe food allergies and we communicated this to the chef. Every server in the dining area was made aware of this and they ensured that we were informed of any dishes that contained any of the food he was avoiding. The meals were delicious and was a lovely mix of local and international fare. Highly recommend checking out this hotel.

Well worth the drive
This was a wonderful resort and spa. Though we just stayed for one night I am looking for reasons to go back already. While it is off the beaten path, WAY off the beaten path, it is well worth the drive. The facilities are in great shape, the buffet we had at night was served hot and the food good. The wifi only works near the lobby of the resort, but honestly I think this was a plus and not a negative. Having a chance to unwind and disconnect was just what myself and daughter needed.
