Nil Diya Mankada impressed us with its spotless pool and grounds. The food was fantastic—flavorful and freshly prepared every time. It’s rare to find such a clean and well-maintained hotel with such warm hospitality. We can’t wait to visit again!

Nothing it was like something out of a horror movie worst of all there was paintings and pictures all over the dining room of elephants being tortured and killed which we didn’t really think was appropriate and made us feel very uncomfortable
It was dark run down

Very Poor
Manager was very indifferent and unfriendly. Lacks customer service skills. Food way below standard. Poor quality meals. Flies were a big issue when food was served at table. Waiter was polite. Chalet reasonable but poor lighting at night to get to restaurant. We could not wait to make our departure from this resort.
We didn’t like the entire stay at this resort . We cannot recommend this resort to anyone.

It was hard to find, and on a steep entrance - but once arrived - the hosts were absolutely amazing and lovely. The views were sensational, and the walk into town took 10mins along train track breakfast was hugh, and delicious. We wish we stayed for two nights, Ella is so gorgeous.n. We arrived late in the day and were really hungry, the host made us especially tea and toast to keep our stomachs full.
the entrance, but only as i have a bad knee, and that we came from arugam bay, so had surf boards, a but of luggage.....but the staff were ready to help bring our luggage
