Arangala Hotels from S$32

"Had the most amazing four night say at Vil Uyana. From the moment we arrived, greeted with a blue water lilly each - a nice touch - to our departure, the stay was a delight. Immediately out chalet was upgraded to a waterside property and we were introduced to our personal butler Prasanna who went out of his way to make our stay a delight, including serving us at breakfast and our evening meal, and showing us round the hotel organic farm where they source much of the ingredients for the wonderful meals in the restaurant situated above the lake. All the staff, including the lovely Dilshani who also served our table were so friendly and welcoming at every turn. Our ‘chalet’ was so comfortable and roomy we couldn’t believe it and staff came twice a day to service the room. We also took advantage of the hotel naturalist staff and enjoyed a birdwatching trip and a night time walk around the estate searching for the Loris who live there. Importantly for us the sustainability of the project is impeccable with as much use of local materials and as possible and a genuine commitment to sustainability. We were also keen to use local Sri Lankan hotels and guesthouses on our trip and Jetwings is just that, employing and training local people, especially young people and women ‘returners’. Brilliant!"

"Excellent and attentive staff, clean rooms, friendly service. Included breakfast was a nice local meal."

"Wow, this place is absolutely amazing and beautiful, with so much wildlife right at your doorstep! You can see elephants, monkeys, peacocks, and tons more. The hotel staff were fantastic too. I’d definitely come back and stay here again. It’s such a beautiful hotel!"

"Building and setting were lively but the comunal areas were lacking in atmosphere. There was no nice area for evening drinks which was disappointing."

"awesome pool, helpful staff, great food, excellent rooms"

"The place was having work done around the pool, the owners dog bit me in reception the drinks and food is over priced and the location is in the middle of no where. I was booked for two nights but stayed for one, I suppose you get what you pay for lesson learned"

"Clean and spacious room and the staff were very accommodating and helped me with tuk tuk rides and offered helpful tips for dining and climbing Sigiriya Rock."

"Lovely setting with pool and beautiful garden. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was great. I thought this was good value for the price we paid. Areas for improvement: no towles supplied initially (had to ask), lack of toiletries in the room (no hand soap), wifi does not work, food at restaurant quite expensive. We wanted to have two beds but the rooms have inbuilt king beds so there was a small uncomfortable single bed added. No room service unless you ask and provide your key."

"Loved the lake and surrounding area. It was so serene. Breakfast was included and was amazing. It was cozy detached cabana type of room. Friendly staff."
