Parel.
Pros:

Schitterende accomodatie. Villas met eigen zwembadje. Zeer vriendelijk attent en behulpzaam personeel. Zaten er 3 n waarvan 1 nacht verlenging vanwege de cycloon. Personeel was uiterst zorgzaam voor de gasten. Safety and comfort stonden echt bovenaan.

Cons:

Niets

Pros:

Amazing estate with great wildlife around you. Was wonderful to have our own pool but the pool at the main house was also beautiful! Lots of activities on offer we did the kayaking at the lake next door which was a lovely experience

Cons:

When booking I missed that taxes had not yet been added and this amounted to more than £100 in additional charges a day. This was the only place we stayed out of 5 in Sri Lanka where this was the case so please be vigilante when booking. From my perspective the property is quite tired and whilst it may have been worth this price in its prime, rooms need a refit and this now feels overpriced

Beautiful Ulagalla, amazing staff!
Pros:

Beautiful location, wonderful grounds and facilities, amazing wildlife literally outside your door!

Riding Rolex was a wonderful experience.

Cons:

Reception isn’t 24 hours so when we were out late to attend a cricket match in Dambulla, we couldn’t get back to our room at first because everything was locking up and it felt too far to walk in the dark with no torch. Thankfully some staff had not yet finished and were quick to help us!

Evening menu was very limited with only one vegetarian option per day.

A lovely hotel in a great setting.
Pros:

A luxurious property set in acres of scenic grounds. We enjoyed using our bikes to explore the property and after cooled off in our plunge pool. The rooms were very comfortable and well well proportioned. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
