Great location and lovely staff. We loved the chill out zone and ability to swim out the back. The from was lovely and the focus on eco tourism was great. The staff were wonderful and friendly.

beautiful, peaceful. location. Most guests would be there for the safari, as it would not be the place to stay for multiple nights, as there is not much else to do. The staff were delightful and the breakfast was delicious.
Whilst it was one of the more expensive places we stayed in Sri Lanka, it certainly was one. of the nicest. Very peaceful. Other than the cost,(which wasn't really an issue), i have no complaints

The location and the whole place is a dream. Rooms are extremely comfortable and food was absolutely delicious. Staff was extremely friendly and we also booked a safari with them. The safari guide was awesome, we even saw a leopard thanks to his determination, and plenty of other animals (elephants, birds, etc). I can’t recommend this place enough
