    I had a wonderful stay at this luxurious safari lodge. The rooms were quite comfortable and had a lovely garden outlook. I especially enjoyed the small porch attached to my room. The hotel provided all the necessary amenities such as a fridge and tea and coffee making facilities, making my stay even more convenient. The pool was a good size and impeccably clean. The hotel grounds were beautifully maintained, providing a shady and green environment. I loved seeing the abundance of birds flying around, it made me feel truly connected to nature.

    I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a luxurious and comfortable stay.

    The hotel had a well-maintained pool area and nice grounds. the rooms were spacious and comfortable, offering a good value for the price. the location of the hotel was convenient for taking a morning and evening safari, allowing us to see a variety of animals within the national park.

    We found the service to be slow in the restaurant, although the quality of the food was good. the cleanliness of the rooms left something to be desired, with insects and dirty towels present.

    We had a great weekend getaway, enjoying the many activities the hotel had on offer, including a generous-sized pool, cycle rentals, and a rope climbing course. The view from our room's outdoor seating area was magnificent, surrounded by lush greenery. the hotel staff was very helpful and accommodating throughout our stay.

    There were a few downsides to our weekend at the hotel. The food was pricey and not well-prepared, and some of the furnishings were worn out.

    The hotel's location is ideal for safari-goers as it is close to the Udawalawe park entrance, allowing for early morning and evening safari tours. the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the bathrooms have powerful hot showers. the staff is friendly and helpful and can arrange safari tours and transportation.

    Our family stayed at this lovely resort for a relaxing getaway. We wanted to explore the nearby national park, so the location was perfect. The pool and spa center were a great way to unwind after a day of safari. The staff went above and beyond to make my son's birthday special with a delicious cake. The main waiter provided exceptional service, and the manager was extremely helpful with organizing transportation. This hotel is perfect for young couples with children, offering a swimming pool, play area, and archery.

    Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

    The location of the hotel near the national park was convenient for our early morning safari. The buffet breakfast and dinner were delicious, with a variety of local and Western food options. The pool was clean and provided a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for families.
