Beautiful property, a masterpiece by Geoffrey Bawa, architecture hidden and surrounded by nature. Special thanks to Nalinda for the amazing architectural tour, and bird watching tour…was very lucky to spot an elephant by the lake which was a very rare occurrence!

Resort is built in a peaceful and serene location around trees, rocks and a lake with some breathtaking scenery. It would benefit from hiring staff with fluent English. Sometimes it was hard to get their understanding.

The overall experience is on another level. The design and architecture are amazing, with lots of wildlife around the property. The staff are exceptionally professional. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of options, all of which were delicious. One tip: try to avoid the busiest times for breakfast and dinner, as it can get very crowded and noisy. Take some time to walk around the property and immerse yourself in the nature and architecture created by Geoffrey Bawa.

The hotel's setting on the edge of a lake that is a magnet for wildlife is fabulous, the views are amazing. The service was wonderful, with all the staff being charming and helpful. We were particularly impressed by the hotel driver who took us to Sigiriya and then onto our next stop in Kandy.

The architecture was superb with the hotel beautifully blending into the nature! I think I had the best night sleep in this hotel as the place was so quiet and pleasant. Also getting to see some monkeys freely wondering around the facility was very refreshing too! The highlight was the infinity pool, which does not seem as impressive in size at a first glance, but once you dip in, you’ll know why this place is special. I loved the pool so much that I could stay there the whole afternoon! It is located fairly closely to the Sigiriya Rock so was pretty accessible after our hike. Would definitely come back again!

Although this is an excellent review I have to say I was a bit surprised at the size of the pools. I like to swim laps but the pools were smaller than I'd thought. My fault, of course (lack of blueprints!). One pool seems to have been given over to the monkeys (lucky them!) which was interesting. But perhaps it was seasonal? Anyway, if you're expecting to swim laps lower those expectations and just enjoy the spectacular view from the infinity perspective of the pool....

It is one of the hotels designed by Bawa.It stands as if it blends in with the natural surroundings.However, mosquitoes and other annoying insects are rarely seen. Every staff member at the hotel is warm and welcoming.The hotel is relatively close to several tourist attractions such as Sigiriya Rock and safari tours.

This is a beautiful and well-designed hotel in a unique location next to the lake and jungle. The staff were attentive and thoughtful. The only downside was the dining options - the menus are international and expensive, and the remote location of the hotel makes it difficult to eat elsewhere. We would have preferred more local Sri Lankan options. However, the buffet breakfast was varied and impressive.
