Excellent Service
Pros:

I chose this hotel to celebrate my wife's birthday, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions i made. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed so warmly and treated with such elegance. The team had thoughtfully arranged everything so beautifully and made the evening feel incredibly special even without us requesting anything in advance.

It truly became the most memorable birthday evening. The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was outstanding. A special mention to the Food and Beverages Manager Mr. Dhammika, who was exceptionally kind and attentive. He is truly a gem to the hotel.

Thank you to the entire team for creating such a wonderful experience for us. We will definitely cherish this beautiful memory.” ✨

Never upgrade to Chaarya Lake if you make a reservation to Chaarya Resort & Spa
Pros:

I was a frequent guest to Chaarya Resort and Spa (3 times before) whenever I visit Katharagama. This time they called and said they would like to upgrade us to Chaarya Lake. It was actually a downgrade and a disappointment.
Service was bad, food was below par, and the room was surprisingly very small with insects.
I have been returning to same place frequently due to their impressive service but utterly disappointed this time and not so sure will return again

The resort is close to Yala National Park. The facilities are great and the dinner and breakfast buffet will cater to all tastes. The staff are very professional and friendly. Our waiter, Ravidu, was particularly helpful and friendly.

Split level rooms, asking for an Accident?
Pros:

We stayed here for 2 nights on a Riviera Tour, the rooms are located in small blocks & are split level so you really do need to be careful & our ground floor room we did feel a bit overlooked so the curtains had to stay closed all of the time as we were near the bar which I would say was quite noisy as was the restaurant which is to small, not a lot of space. The pool area is also very small & we found that due to the grass being watered around the sun loungers it was very muddy.

You will find lots of groups having wedding photo's taken in the grounds.

Good hotel with a quality food and service

The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, making our stay very convenient with children. The property is well maintained, and there is plenty of open space for kids to move around safely. The swimming pool was a big hit with our family.
The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, always willing to help and ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay. Their hospitality truly made a difference.
Food was tasty and well presented, with a good variety of options suitable for both adults and children.
