Wonderful
We booked a room for one night and received an upgrade to triple. My kid got high temperature, we had to reachedule safari and stay one night longer. They allowed us to stay in the same room with lower price, so we did not have to move. They were flexible in rescheduling Safari for us. Room was big. Brealfast and dinner bufet was just amazing. Huge variety of food. I was waiting with the kid to get pasta (they heated up for each person separately) and staff came and offered to wait with mh kid so I could pick up my food and we could start dining together with my husband. That was super attentive, I have never experienced this in eny other hotel. Lot lf staff was always around smilling and willing to help. ?
Very nice environment, paradise feel. Great tall trees with monkeys, one came to look through our window, my daughter loved it.
Bathroom could use some deep cleaning. But maybe the water is very hard here.

Best place to stay if planning safari in Udalawawe nature park or visit elephants in Pnnawala.
Was a bit crowded in the restaurant, restaurant in other building. We got a bit wet on the way as it was raining.

Disappointing
Clean and friendly staff
“This was our worst stay in Sri Lanka. I honestly don’t know how this place is rated 5 stars—it doesn’t even meet the standard of a 3-star hotel. The food was awful, and there were no proper facilities at all. Very disappointing.

Great location if you love elephants
Negatives
AC very loud. Thought it was raining all night but it was just the AC noise. Not a lot of cool air for all the noise it made.
Maybe time to upgrade beds and bathroom.
At breakfast more durable covering needed as flies were getting under the cling film.

Proximity to Udawalawe National Park
Interesting and attractive design within a forest setting
Large outdoor pool
Warm welcome from friendly front desk staff
Hotel and rooms are a little faded and would benefit from refurbishment.
Restaurant - although providing an ‘A La Carte’ option - is adequate but predominantly caters to group travelers favoring a buffet. Restaurant staff do not match the professionalism of their front desk counterparts.
Somewhat overpriced but reflective of its status compared to local competition.

Great location to visit the Elephant Orphanage and do a safari. Jungle garden was great for spotting local wildlife, some iguanas and lots of monkeys
A little dated

Nice design, quite location.
Nice pool.
Good buffet in the restaurant.
Safari easy to reach.
Some air conditioning not fully working.
For the size of the hotel quite limited English skills of many staff members.

Pleasant
Location for the park is brilliant. The pools were nice, reception staff lovely and the rooms a good size
The place is dated and showing the signs of wear and tear. Restaurant staff were nice but not very attentive. 6 of them sat on the phones at a table, not particularly interested in much else
We were pretty horrified to see a member of staff shooting a slingshot at the monkeys in the trees by the restaurant too. It seemed pretty cruel

*A great welcome to the hotel, all the staff were very happy.
* Everyone was knowledgeable about the local area and things to do, and in particular the Front Office Manager Jaya Sri Wickramasinghe, he organised the transport to the elephant transit home and also a great Sri Lanka dinner for the last night.
* We were a bit nervous about coming here, esp after reading all the reviews about the cleanliness of the hotel etc, but the hotel is trying to blend in with outdoor / indoor concept.
* The bathrooms yes could do with a little tlc, but when considering we had 3 showers a day, you couldn't really open the windows due to the insets etc coming in and the humidity and tropical temp outside, it is understandable.
* The restaurant and bar staff were great, we were very looked after, esp as my husband had been bitten by mosquito throughout the trip, the staff came and gave us cinnamon oil to burn near our legs to help.
*The wildlife around the hotel, seeing turtles, monkeys, fireflys and wild birds - just wonderful.
Couldn't fault anything, do give the hotel a go, you will not be disappointed.

Excellent property with lot of greenery. Had a short stay so could not really spend a relaxed day here. The room sizes were excellent with balcony.
We were vegetarians , food options for vegetarians was a real issue. We had not carried any food with us from the previous destination. If we had known we would have planned.
