Monaara Leisure - Anuradhapura

Location was nearby to the main attractions, clean, well maintained, peaceful and charming. Facilities were as expected, had everything we need. Staff, welcoming, friendly, helpful and professional. Food very nice both dinner and breakfast. Enjoyed them thoroughly. Chef was excellent, cooked there own veg patch grown veges for us. We had authentic buffalo curd too.. Chef cooked our requests, prepared early morning milk rice for Puja, decorated it nicely, he even prepared our fruit beautifully. Thank you chef! Top floor views, paddy field, the monara and rest of the little wildlife, we enjoyed all thoroughly. Dip in the pool brought much needed respite from hot weather too. We had the place to ourselves that was unexpected and even better...! Unfortunately it was a very restricted schedule otherwise we would have stayed longer.! Thank you all.

We liked everything, there is nothing that I can find to say I didn't like.

Being in the pool over looking a small paddy field in the evening watching wildlife move around in the field was really nice. The location of the hotel is ideal as its located close to the Basawakkulama wawa, away from the busy town, and a short drive to visit the eight sacred places (atamasthana). The room had similar amenities as a hotel, the staff was really friendly, the food was personalized for us with srilankan cuisine as we were the only guests during our stay

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was very clean and well-maintained, and the hotel garden is beautifully designed and relaxing. The rooftop offers a scenic and stunning view, perfect for unwinding. The food was delicious with a good variety, and we really enjoyed every meal. The staff were extremely kind, friendly, and supportive throughout our stay, always ready to help. Overall, it was a very pleasant and comfortable experience, and we would definitely recommend this hotel to others

Convenience location

Overall, I found this stay disappointing and not worth the money spent. The property is poorly maintained, with visible signs of neglect and a lack of proper upkeep. For example, a carrom board was available but unusable due to missing coins, which reflects the lack of attention to detail. The atmosphere felt unwelcoming, and the staff were not particularly friendly or attentive, which made the experience less enjoyable. Considering the price point, I expected a much higher standard of service and facilities. I would not recommend this property unless significant improvements are made.
