The route to reaach the property was too off. Consider last 500 m as driving on rocks. Property should try tp fix it as they will be major beneficiary. Staff tried to help - 1 guy was good at english, others below average - The confusion went to extent that the lady at counter said that pinnavella elephant orphanage is only 4 km away, which is not true. I only contacted this guy at reception for everything post this incident. Overall , staff did try to help for everything they could do in their limits.

Nice clean, large and comfortable rooms.
We only stayed here for a night as we were in the area to see the Sigiriya Rock Fortress and Pidurangala Rock. It's not too far from either. Rooms were clean and spacious. Nice hotel grounds (they look nicer at night). Nice pool area. The restaurant and buffet breakfast are pretty average as is the wifi strength in the room we were in (231). The dirt road is a little bumpy heading in towards the hotel off the main road. Overall though we had no major issues and our stay was comfortable.

A good hotel in the middle of a forest
A good resort in the middle of the forest. The positives were: Forest experience, Sounds of birds, running stream, etc. Also a decent length swimming pool, good for laps Negative mainly was to do with the fact that you cannot open your windows at night for fear of wildlife coming in. Hotel must fit wire meshes. Also animals running on the tinned roof creating sudden noises and waking you up in the middle of the night. Service was so so, in part because most staff don't speak English fluently. I must make special mention of the front office receptionist Sendali who spoke fluent English, had a very pleasing and customer friendly approach and helped make my stay comfortable on a number of fronts. Thank you Sendali for saving the day!

Ok hotel. Bad service.
Umm...no-so-pleasant experience. they refused to provide driver accommodation for us. No ome helped us with luggages. The walk from lobby to room was far and we had had to hand carry our suitcases (road is too rocky to roll suitcases). The lady who led us to the room didn't care and walk super fast. She also refused to put us (two rooms) on the same building, while both rooms underneath our rooms were empty. Rooms are big, but the upkeep is so so.

Great Quality, Service & Value
Very good hotel with excellent staff that were so friendly and made us feel very welcome. Although the property is not as close to Sigiryia as others it looked better than some of the closer ones we passed. We rented bikes from the hotel, which weren't great quality but got us to Sigiryia! We also did a great Safari to Minneryia through the hotel which was a highlight. Overall very good quality and value for money.

Apparently they just opened after being closed for 3 years. They gave us at first a dirty stinky room after a big scene and complaint we finally got the room we booked. Staff barely speaks English. Food choice is very limited, buffet for SriLankan standard is very poor. They tried to force us a Xmas dinner at 40 dollar a person but quality of kitchen is poor, also for the breakfast, no yoghurts. The road towards the place is a disaster and very difficult to reach. Overall poor experience for a so called luxury hotel.

文化三角地帯のベースキャンプとなる森の中のリゾート
施設や部屋は新しくて綺麗。 食事はカレーが旨かった。ただ蠅対策を何とかして欲しい。 プールサイドに傘が欲しい。昼間は暑い筈。 シーギリヤロックへ一本道。但し途中まで未舗装の細い道。 アヌラーダプラまで１時間。 ダンブッラまで３０分。 ベースキャンプにもってこい。
