Pros:

Perfectly located right next to the Dambulla Cave Temple.

The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. Everyone was superb, and any requests were handled quickly and professionally. A special mention to Damian and Siddhu, who were especially helpful.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. Do note that not every room has a TV, but the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable which made up for it.

The food was good with a decent variety of options, making it easy to find something enjoyable each day.

Overall, a great stay in an excellent location!

Nettes Ressort, aber leider zu ungepflegt und abgenutzt für einen längeren genussvollen Aufethalt
Pros:

Gute und ruhige Lage sehr nah an den Caves, Resort inmitten eines eigentlich schön angelegten Urwald-Gartens, weitgehend nette Zimmer, gutes Restaurant, sehr bemühter Service, vor allem der zuständige Manager war außerordentlich zugewandt und aufmerksam. Wir bekamen am Abreisetag sogar je eine kleine Lunch-Box, obwohl wir dort nur eine Nacht blieben.

Cons:

Das Resort hat die beste Zeit lange hinter sich, fast alles wirkt abgenutzt, ungepflegt und reparaturbedürftig. Die Zimmertüren wirken wenig sicher, die Türen zum Balkon sind aus Vollholz ohne Glas, so dass bei geschlossenen Balkontüren das Zimmer dunkel ist, die Betten sind hart, die Dusche ohne Spritzschutz etc. Die Auflagen auf den Sonnenliegen abgenutzt, am Pool abgesplitterte Fliesen etc.
Die Fotos suggerieren ein völlig falsches Bild der Anlage. Im Vergleich ist das Ressort bei weitem kein 4*-Haus!

A warm and memorable stay thanks to the incredibly friendly staff and unique experiences
Pros:

The staff were extremely attentive, friendly, and always welcoming. We could watch monkeys directly from our balcony, which was a very unique and enjoyable experience. The hotel also offered its own tours, and we joined several of them. The team was very helpful throughout and did their best to assist us with everything.

We went on a safari tour and also climbed Lion Rock and Pidurangala, all of which were well organized and memorable experiences. The staff helped us with our luggage, which we really appreciated.

Cons:

There was no elevator, and since we were staying on the 4th floor, using the stairs was quite tiring. The hot water took a long time to heat up; however, once we informed the staff, they were helpful and tried to resolve the issue.

Perfect base for Sigiriya, Pidurangula, Dambulla and safari
Pros:

This hotel is exceptionally good value for money. Good generous breakfast, quiet rooms, lunch and dinner options. It leans into the jungle/rainforest cave vibe. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, as well as knowledgeable and helpful - eg tipped us to change one of our safaris to a different park to see more elephants due to the rain and flooding.

We arrived early, straight off the plane and were welcomed and made comfortable. We spent two nights, doing Sigiriya at sunset, Pidurangula at sunrise, Dambulla cave temple and Hurulu eco parl safari, before heading on to Kandy. Great start to our holiday.

Cons:

So one thing about the rainforest is that when it rains, it is very humid, which we found difficult so not so much something we didn’t like but more something to be aware of! We would come back for sure (but armed with a rain jacket)!
