Arriving at the entrance was really impressive. We were greeted with a cool drink and big umbrellas as the rain thundered down! The rain meant we couldn't use the pool, which looked lovely, and our original room had leaks, so we were taken to different rooms, which were much better. The rooms were clean. We were a short drive to the safari. All in all, great value for money and a very nice team working there - they just need to finish some of the maintenance work (to stop things like leaks!).

What a jewel of a property; amazing grounds, spotless rooms and excellent food were high points. Expected three star quality and was astonished upon check in. Excellent pool with sharp poolside service. Hotel is located adjacent to Udawalawe National Park Excellent safari coordinated by hotel, fully facilitated from start to finish. The restaurant staff was particularly kind and hospitable - run, don't walk to the hotel.

Staff were lovely and so welcoming. Rooms were clean and the grounds were beautiful. The location is peaceful and relaxing

Everything was great. Manager of the restaurant went above and beyond and was amazing, as were all the staff. Even drove us to and from the elephant transit home in their safari jeep. Made sure everything we asked for, happened. Loved the turtles in the courtyard too.

The only redeeming element was the staff - they were very friendly and accommodating. The facilities are way (way) past their prime and the food can be described as edible at best. You can tell this was once a terrific spot but absolute neglect has set in. To top it off - when we wanted to jump in the pool it was being occupied by a large mafia of 20 Macaques - doing backflips into the pool. Didn’t seem right to rain on their parade. Bottom line - the place needs a serious facelift and kitchen reshuffle.
