Forest Shade Eco Resort Deraniyagala

Super relaxing listening to the sound of the river surrounding the resort. Beautiful place nestled directly in the rainforest. There's also a small walkway down to the river where you can swim, which we stumbled upon.

The property emphasised how difficult the road is to access after booking. However, this should really be highlighted on the description, as well as explaining how windy and out of the way from everything the property is. I think there should also be some activities that guests can do, since it is so secluded i.e. yoga/massage etc.. I would like to mention as an eco resort I thought there would be eco-friendly options in the rooms, such as soap (no plastic bottles), filtered water rather than plastic water bottles and signs around the property to conserve water/energy. I was surprised that this was lacking. The service was also pretty slow and there was only one other family staying there. The staff checking us in didn't give us much information, it would have been really helpful if they had mentioned information about the dinner/breakfast and even told us about the option to swim in the river or explore walking trails (which we didn't find).

Het is een heel mooie omgeving en de ligging en uitzicht vanuit het zwembad is super mooi

Er was heel veel regen. Hierdoor was het hotel (laatste 2km) slecht bereikbaar. Daarnaast was er daardoor (niet raften en geen wandelingen) niets te doen. Het personeel kon daar ook niet bij helpen.

We loved the location. Hidden inside the jungle. Easy access to Sithawaka River. The staff is also very friendly & helpful. Very nice place to spend time peacefully.

The only thing is the condition of the road.

Environment

The road to the hotel is not comfortable
