A great retreat if wanting to safari in Sri Lanka. Nestled away in the jungle, there is lots of wildlife to see, even from your room. Great service and delicious food.

Overall a comfortable stay

The location and the staff are very good. Highlights is the monkeys and peacock. The spa looks basic but the ayurvedic massage was really nice and relaxing.

Stunning location and surroundings however the restaurant lets it down considerably.

The surroundings of the property were amazing. We were upgraded to a suite which was a lovely surprise.

Fantastic hotel in a beautiful location

We had a suite with separate bedroom, lounge and bathroom The room was exceptional, the bed was one of the most comfortable that we’ve ever slept in. The monkeys that roamed the grounds were a constant source of entertainment
