The meal was tasty overall. Breakfast was included in our package, although the selection was limited, it was still delicious. The garden was clean, nice, and well maintained. Dinner was also good. Altogether, we enjoyed the meals and the atmosphere.

“An enjoyable stay with one or two minor niggles.”
The property is very well situated for visiting the important Buddhist sites of Polonnaruwa. It is set in attractive gardens with an excellent swimming pool. The rooms are airy and overlook the gardens. Our waiter and other staff looked after us extremely well and made sure we had everything we needed.

“Never again”
The swimming pool was closed without warning ahead and the rooms were very dirty. The management didn't care about our remarks.
