Pottuvil

"Booked this hotel through Expedia prior to my trip, when I landed in Colombo I received a text message from a French (+33) number saying that my booking at The Coconut would be cancelled, and that the prices I had booked were no longer valid! My only choices were to cancel the booking or pay the "new prices" which were 3x higher! I ended up saying I didn't want the booking and found other accommodations. I actually went to the hotel during my trip where the front desk person was frustrated...

Top Polwatta Hotel Reviews

Gal Oya Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The property was beautiful and we felt cared about as staff very attentive. Our room was truly incredible, so fancy and even our own little pool. We also used the big communal pool which was great to relax by. The activities they offer was great. We did night walk, boat safari, jeep safari, hike monkey mountain which was strenuous but fun and great views, and very blessed to do a walk with a Vedda elder and learn from him."

Wild Glamping Gal Oya

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel! Located off the beaten track this was a great experience for the family. The pool is excellent, food good quality and the tours were well organised with small numbers. This is not a touristy area so a more exclusive feel that other locations in Sri Lanka."
