Pros:

Sehr schöne Aussenanlage und Pool, schöne Zimmer (wir hatten die Delux Doppelzimmer), Frühstück war sehr vielfältig, reichlich und gut. Die ganze Familie ist authentisch nett und bemüht sich wirklich darum, dass man einen schönen Aufenthalt hat und sich wohlfühlt. Es gibt gutes Abendessen im Hotel, einige wenige Restaurants sind ca. 0,5-1km entfernt. Danke nochmal und alles Gute!

Great place to stay in Polonnaruwa
Pros:

We spent two nights at Tishan Holiday Resort and loved it. Breakfast was really good and the staff went out of their way to bring us hot water for coffee in the morning. The room was as pictured and having a pool after a hot day of touring was appreciated. Easy access to the Ancient City and a short drive to Pidurangala Rock and Minneriya National Park.

Cons:

Adding an electric kettle to the room would be a wonderful addition.

Fantastische plek, heerlijk eten, en de mensen zo vriendelijk!
Pros:

Een van de beste locaties waar hebben gezeten in Sri lanka. Wat een ongelooflijk mooie plek, een prachtige tuin, heel goed verzorgd zwembad, ontzettend aardig personeel, heerlijk eten, alles was hier fantastisch! Het ontbijt was het beste Sri Lankese ontbijt (heerlijk, al die lekkernijen!) dat we in Sri lanka gehad hebben. En dat voor deze prijs, ongekend.
