Staff should be further train to treat the clients and meal was good.
Pros:

The meal was tasty overall. Breakfast was included in our package, although the selection was limited, it was still delicious. The garden was clean, nice, and well maintained. Dinner was also good. Altogether, we enjoyed the meals and the atmosphere.

Cons:

We were disappointed with some parts of our stay. The housekeeping staff member assigned to our room was not polite and behaved rudely towards us. We took dinner in the room before 10.15pm when we call to clean it anyone didn't answer. If emergency it's that so?
Although breakfast was included in our package, the variety and quantity were limited. The vehicle parking area should also be closer to the hotel for guests’ convenience.
Another uncomfortable experience was at the pool area. While my wife and I were using the pool, a staff member sat nearby and kept watching us, which made us feel uncomfortable.
We hope these issues will be improved for future guests.

Pros:

It had a pleasing environment that blended in with the surroundings. Food and drink were no problem.

Cons:

The heat was intense while eating in the restaurant. It was difficult to eat. It would have been better if it had been air-conditioned.

An enjoyable stay with one or two minor niggles.
Pros:

The property is very well situated for visiting the important Buddhist sites of Polonnaruwa. It is set in attractive gardens with an excellent swimming pool. The rooms are airy and overlook the gardens. Our waiter and other staff looked after us extremely well and made sure we had everything we needed.

Cons:

Although the sleeping accommodation is well set back from the road, one out of the six in our group found the traffic noise a bit disturbing at night. The breakfasts were not very good. The hotel is geared for events. There were two weddings during our three-day stay which we actually enjoyed watching but they were a bit disruptive for regular guests.

Please add a roof over staircase
Pros:

Safe place and location was great

Cons:

It was rainy and I had to climb a pair staircase which was slippery during rain, which the management of property had been complained many times but they seem to take no action as per the minor staff people in hotel which showed the management doesn’t care about safety of guests

Definitely recommend staying here!
Pros:

Our family of three loved the quiet atmosphere, the grounds and the warm pool. The staff was so professional and helpful throughout our 4-night stay. The manager helped facilitate our safari and bicycle rental. The hotel location is perfect for exploring the archeological sites. The food was delicious and well priced. WiFi worked great.

Cons:

Our only complaint is the number of flies at breakfast in the restaurant.
