Delicious Sri Lankan Cuisine

Every meal I had at the resort was a culinary delight! The Sri Lankan food was prepared with love and bursting with authentic flavors. I particularly enjoyed the fresh homemade rice and curry, which was one of the best I've ever had. Each dish was beautifully presented and made every dining experience special.

Lovely Safari Experience

The safari organized by the resort was absolutely lovely! The knowledgeable guide ensured we had the best views of wildlife, including amazing elephants and a rare leopard. It was a seamless experience, from pickup to safari, which made the adventure even more worthwhile. This was the highlight of my trip!

My stay at the resort was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms are spacious and modern, offering a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. The friendly staff added a personal touch to the experience. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking, especially when it came to breakfast. Also, while the location is quiet and perfect for relaxation, it can feel a bit remote if you're looking for activities nearby. Overall, it’s good value for money, with a few caveats.
