Eighth Wonder Resort

We had a very enjoyable and memorable stay at Eighth Wonder Resort. The tree house was spacious and clean with lovely views of the surrounding forest. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The restaurant and pool area were beautiful and well maintained. We had problems getting mobile reception, so the manager lent us a wifi router free of charge. Such a big help and very gracious! The area has heaps of wildlife. Our tree house was visited by a troop of monkeys one morning. Very special, but be safe and keep your shoes indoors!

Eighth Wonder was a unique and charming break from run of the mill resorts. What really makes it shine is the peacefulness of the property, you can hear the sounds of the town outside just melt away as you come in. The rooms have a hand crafted charm, and the staff was attentive, accommodating, and friendly.

Was reluctant to book this hotel after reading some of the negative reviews. We were so pleasantly surprised. The treehouse was beautiful clean, comfortable and in a beautiful property where elephants, monkeys, buffalo and fire flys can be seen <3 Even with nature, is close to amenities and the manager Mahinda ordered good priced tuktuks takinf us to a lovely area for dinner, which was catered for the foreign tourist and the food delicious and vibe amazing :) to top it all off i had an injury which needed stitches (not properties fault) and this was very late at night. Mahinda rushed me to hospital with his friend who drove the tuk tuk and stayed up with me all night and translated on my behalf to making sure that i was treated and safe. They both stayed up all night and didnt expect anything in return. Really lovely kind people especially Mahinda who seems to mainly run the properly on his own and is probably ran ragged but never complains. I would say that in general if you are expecting extreme luxury in Sri Lanka , that you are unlikely to get this, especially at the current time when Sri Lanka is really suffering from different issues and is recovering from the tourist industry being completely shut down with covid. The people are amazing and honestly couldnt do more to help, Mahinda an absolute angel, come to Sri lanka and enjoy it as it is now and help it recover, they deserve it ! Give this property a chance please, better than most in Sri Lanka !!
