Pros:

Absolutely loved my time at Aliya Resort. Everything was fantastic – from the beautiful surroundings to the comfortable rooms and great service. A special shout-out to Shashi, who was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. On top of being efficient and attentive, Shashi has an infectious smile that just brightens your day. Genuinely made me feel welcome and well taken care of. Highly recommend this resort, and hope to be back soon!

Charging bay for electric tuk tuk rental available at this property.

Cons:

Great views of sigiriya
Pros:

Beautifully designed and lots of amenities. Great views of sigiriya from the pool and restaurant. Beautiful large rooms.

Cons:

About a 20 min drive to sigiriya or pidurangala.
The food is average at best. Despite being a 5 star hotel some of the most mediocre food we had in Sri Lanka

Piscine avec vue à couper le souffle ! Une des plus belles vues de la région !

Pros:

Хорошая природа, вокруг, заботливый персонал, чистые номера, быстрая и качественная уборка. Вкусная еда, незаметные официанты, которые очень быстро обслуживают. Шикарный бассейн с видом на горы. Отличный парк на территории,
видели варана, белок, обезьян. Везде присутствует тема защиты слонов, очень трогательно.

Beautiful hotel with an amazing pool view to lion’s rock
Pros:

This hotel is surrounded by nature (you can spot some squirrels, monkeys and peacocks), it has a very calm atmosphere, beautiful large rooms, clean and comfortable, very good amenities (huge pool, well equipped gym etc), amazing breakfast and an incredibly kind staff who will welcome you with a big smile and be ready to assist you with anything anytime.

We definitely recommend doing the elephant safari with Mr. Akash! We did it and although we had some concerns about how ethic it would be, it was an amazing experience and we were very pleased with the respectful way he approached the animals, always giving them space and waiting for them to come close by themselves, never chasing them and avoiding the places where there were other jeeps already. He is clearly very passionate about his job and showed an incredible knowledge about wild life which made us feel very safe at all times and also added a lot to the experience with interesting information.

Amazing places are nothing special without an amazing staff, so I would like to highlight the kindness of everyone working at this hotel :)

Pros:

L’immense piscine et la vue sur rocher au lion sont incroyablement fantastiques. Le lobby est également très réussi et inspiré au calme.

Cons:

Le buffet est bien mais loin des standards pour ce type d’hôtel.
Il y a un restaurant chinois dont on se demande ce qu’il fait là et un restaurant sri lankais, assez cher (35 usd) mais il faut penser à réserver la veille.
Le cours de poterie pourrait être très sympa mais le potier ne parle pas anglais et expédie un peu l’exercice au plus vite (ça a duré 5 min).
Nous avions pris la chambre avec piscine mais l’écart de prix ne se justifie pas à mon sens.

Complete waste of money, over priced and oversold. Do not stay here.
Pros:

view was good

Cons:

Power went out in the room, was told three different excuses, until someone actually soved the issue (a 4th reason)
Chinese restaurant was terrible, food more like a truck stop / food court, poor service
found a mosquito in my drink

Pros:

It was a special spot and yoga and sound bath with Manuli was very special. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. I have severe allergies and the chef personally walked me through the buffet. Far exceeded expectations and short tuc tuc to climb the rock. Sunrise was worth it

Magnífica estadia!
Pros:

Piscina fantástica com água quente e com vista para a Lyon Rock e Pidurangala Rock. Instalações modernas, cuidadas e confortáveis. Tem um jardim grande onde se podem ver macacos nas árvores. Funcionários muito atenciosos e prestáveis. Spa com facilidade na marcação de massagens. Muitos serviços disponíveis: aulas de yoga de madrugada, sound healing, ginásio com instrutor. Restaurante com esplanada e vista para a selva. Pedimos para organizarem 2 transferes para nós, que também foram óptimos. No global um excelente hotel e uma excelente experiência, que recomendamos!!

Cons:

A casa de banho tinha uma pequena abertura para o exterior na parte superior de uma das paredes, não conseguindo climatizar-se e permitindo a entrada de mosquitos. Apesar de funcionários serem sempre muito prestáveis alguns serviços são um pouco demorados, nomeadamente ao nível da restauração.
