Lots to do without living the hotel
Pros:

Lots Of Space, immersed in nature, with monkeys jumping around , the spa therapist is the best highlight of our stay she is absolutely fantastic, a yoga space with nice views on the bay great place to chill

Cons:

Overall It’s a very nice spot But It could be even more curated / elevated the pool could be cleaner and there was a bit of mould in the shower, it could have been clearer in some other more hidden parts.

Pros:

An amazing location on the lake designed with care around the natural landscape preserving trees and sitting alongside the historical house. The whole place is deigned and built with a brilliant eye for quality and the service received matched the high quality of the aesthetic, all staff and managers were exceptional and very accommodating. An exceptional breakfast and delicious food! The sister hotel The Fort Printers in Galle is also well worth a visit if even just for drink or dinner.

Elegant design and lush nature
Pros:

architecture and nature are amazing
staff super helpful and reactive, make you feel like home.
the second pool is a great plus
the activities are great.

Cons:

the music by the restaurant/pool is not aligned with the overall mood of the place: a bit too loud and « ibiza style »
More subtle, calm style of music would be more adapted to the place, mostly in the morning/early pm.
Adult only would be a plus, as there were many kids playing by the pool.

Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka. The most beautiful and welcoming place we have ever been to.
Pros:

The Place is built in a piece of jungle, preserving every tree and building the rooms accordingly, which has lead to a beautiful relationship between guests and wildlife. From the morning friendly monkeys to the night magic fireflies that will guide you back to your room. However, this doesn’t mean that the gardens aren’t beautifully taken care of, full of perfectly trimmed flowers and plants, merging with a tasteful, minimalistic design in both construction and interior design. All this is accompanied by almost every angle by the
Stunning views to the lake, just breathtaking.

We were lucky to stay at a Tree House, which allowed us to have privacy, and very near to the second pool, which we had the luck to enjoy almost always to ourselves.

The Service was impecable. Petar and Tjana, managing the hotel, were always looking forward to make you feel welcome and look after you, finding activities and recommendations as well as trying to make you enjoy the experience fully. Everyone at the hotel; gardeners, cooks, waiters and housekeeping were warming and kind.

The Restaurant was our absolute favourite experience. The waiters were kind and “atentos” remembering every detail of what you liked the day before to make sure they could give you the best service the next day. We had the privilege to try almost every dish from the menu. Not one single plate was not delicious and beautifully set up (and we are Basque, we know good food when we have it!).

We gave ourselves the small luxury of having a massage, the experience was excellent. We didn’t manage to try the Yoga clases although they had them morning and afternoon because the waves at the moment were perfect and we had to go surfing as much as we could, but the place were the yoga class was held had this amazing views to the lake and seamed very special.

Overall, a dream to have found this place which we leave with a full heart (and stomach) and we truly hope we can visit very soon.

Pros:

The service and staff were so friendly, nothing was too much - when my husband left his suit bag hanging in the wardrobe, they posted it all the way back to the UK! The setting is so peaceful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing luxury get away. Thanks for such a lovely stay, we will be highly recommending you to our friends and family!

A peaceful lakeside escape surrounded by lush nature, warm hospitality, and serenity.
Pros:

Kerulu Bay Hotel is a true hidden gem. Nestled in the middle of lush greenery and right on a serene lake, it feels like a peaceful escape from the world. The entire place has a calm, zen-like atmosphere, especially the garden, which is stunning. The restaurant is amazing, with great food and coffee, and the overall vibe is so warm and welcoming.
A huge thank you to Petar and Tijana, the hotel managers, who took such wonderful care of us. Their kindness and hospitality made our stay unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back!
