Lovely hotel with nice rooms and lovely views over Kandy.
Pros:

Lovely rooms. Nice food, reasonable prices.

Cons:

Didn’t use the plunge pool, but sure it would have been fine, just seemed a little enclosed for my liking.

Verblijf 3 nachten
Pros:

Het personeel was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het restaurant (en ontbijtzaal) zijn op de rooftop wat je mooi uitzicht geeft over de stad en het meer.
De kamer was geweldig met zeer goede bedden en ook voor ons zoontje (1,5j) was er een mooi babybedje voorzien. Het leuke terras met prachtig uitzicht zorgt ervoor dat je hemels kan ontwaken 's ochtends.

Cons:

Het was jammer dat het zwembad aan de kleine kant is en vooral dat het wat weggestoken zit in een hoekje van het gebouw. Het ligt op een lagere verdieping met langs 3 zijden de rest van het hotel wat maakt dat de zon er niet aan kan en het water dus redelijk koud is.
Voldoende om er even een verfrissing te zoeken na een warme dag maar niet om er enkele uurtjes in de zon te liggen.

Stunning hotel with a superb view onto kandy
Pros:

We had a beautiful stay at Rivora Heights. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous. From the moment you enter you feel almost like a spa atmosphere. Our room was so well designed and had a beautiful mountain view. The service was superb and we can highly recommend having breakfast with a view. All in all, this was the best hotel we stayed in during our trip. We left well rested and would always come back.
