I stayed here 10 years ago and it was wonderful. The “bones” are great but “cracks” are appearing. The rooms are generous and the property and vistas are beautiful. The property, rooms and facilities are beginning to look a little tired and the staff are struggling. The swimming pool and spa are a long way away but there used to be buggies to pick you up especially during the heat of the day. Phones not working so room service was difficult. There was a ridiculously high corkage charge on some wine that we brought with us and the laundry charge was incredibly high. Bathrooms need a renovation. The overall grandeur is still there so it wouldn’t take much to improve it. No activity was offered. I love birdwatching and preciously an expert was offered along with other interesting experiences.

Grand, great views & good location
Lovely hotel with big rooms. The pool was nice too, located a short walk from the rooms and you can borrow cycles. Lovely view of Sigiriya rock too. The bar was a bit of a strange room with no atmosphere. It felt more like a waiting room. We had our drinks outside though so this was not a problem.

Rural retreat, beautiful gardens.
Close to Sigurya, Lion Rock can be seen from reception. Dambulla 40 mins drive. This is an absolutely amazing hotel. Totally away from anything. A very tranquil rural retreat, only 28 rooms (I believe). The staff, from the lady gardeners to the waiters, were all lovely. They made it!

Great spot for some r&r. Service in restaurant a tad hit and miss. But all done with a smile. Rooms tired but great size and design. Fantastic bed and linen! Would stay here again.

Good concept, mediocre reality
Based on pictures and reviews on line, we anticipated a great experience. However, from check in through check out, the actual experience fell significantly short. The rooms are dark and dated. While I understand small critters will get into the rooms in this setting, we found droppings (mice, geckos?) at several locations within the room. Our calls to reception went unanswered ( we were trying to get through in order to have a tuk tuk sent to our cabin). In the middle of the night, we received a call from a guest in another room - she was distraught and saying that there was screaming outside her room that had been going on for a couple of hours (kind of scary!). Food was very mediocre and service was slow. Check out was mayhem. We had requested a car service for 10AM that didn't show up until 11AM- ruined our plans for the day. Three other guests experienced the same thing (and were not happy- nor was the couple that had heard the screaming the night before who were checking out at the same time...). The staff was earnest and tried hard to be hospitable but the overall operation just falls short on multiple fronts.

Relaxing Stay
We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, and the variety of birds we saw just from the patio of our room. The room opened up to the view of the lake that we could see at a distance and a green belt. Two days in a row we saw a peacock walk by in the woods. We also saw other birds and monkeys. We did not see any elephants on the premises because the hotel property is fended off. We were told that elephants cross the property beyond the fenced area. Sigiriya rock is visible from the hotel. The park and the trail leading to the rock fort is only a 5-10 minute drive from the hotel. They have a very nice swimming pool. The restaurant served really good food- taste and presentation was splendid. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of the authentic Sri Lankan entrée. The staff were very friendly. On the day we arrived they had some water issues so we did not have water for a few hours. Fortunately that problem did not arise again. The room was spacious and the bathroom was huge!

Over-rated and over-priced - just poor
Promoted as an idyllic romantic secluded resort and long ago it may have had aspirations to achieve that. Now its just expensive and run down. The rooms are large but poorly furnished with Spartan furniture that is uninviting and uncomfortable. The pool is very nice, but is 500m down a hot dusty track to get to. The Spa is further down the same track. Anything you spend would be wasted on the hot trek back to your room. They once had carts, but they were all out of commission. You cannot buy drinks at the pool bar, but need to trek back to the main bar near reception. The rooms are cleaned well, but not maintained to the standard the prices demand. The shower floods the bathroom and the shower heads spray everywhere except down. Our shower had an ant infestation. The regular up keep you would expect, just is not performed. The restaurant is not bad, but just plain. Every breakfast was the same 4 curries with no variety. The dinners were mundane. My lamb was served cold. Overall just misses the mark. If you make the mistake and get stuck here take the time to drive to the nearby restaurants at the quality hotels of Heritance Kandalama, Cinnamon or Jetwing. If possible pick one of these other hotels instead. We ate at Cinnamon and Heritance Kandalama and walked around their hotel. They were significantly better at a similar price. Don't be fooled by the in-room pools. They are too cold to use and not romantic at all.
