Wife's 50th birthday trip.
Pros:

Sunshine Resort is a great location for a stay in Sigiriya . In superb walking distance of Lion Rock itself and also restaurants , ATM and convenience store .If not fancying a walk then tuk tuks are always available by entrance or easily sorted for you by the staff. We just had breakfasts at the resort and that was lovely fresh food every morning , plentiful and set you up for the day and only needing a snack for lunch. The room had plenty of space and staff were superb for cleaning , sorting any issues and giving you advice on anything in the area or further afield. The rooms are set in a beautiful garden and again very well maintained, they even helped us put up our travel hammock between the trees to chill one afternoon. We would definitely stay here again if ever in Sigiriya.

Cons:

It's a huge shame owners aren't allowed to develop the resort further within its perimeters as I know from speaking to them they would love to do.

Lovely place in Sigiriya.
Pros:

Nice, semi rural location. Very nice room. The owner was very nice and friendly. He said they had had a lot of cancellation because of the middle east war. Breakfast was excellent. We did intend to have dinner there but because there were few were guests I’m not even sure if it was operating for dinner. The property is a short walk to the village where there are several restaurants. It is not a big village. This place is very convenient for visiting the Lion Rock.

Cons:

Bathroom floor was dangerously slippery.

Brilliant host and location!
Pros:

Our host was brilliant - he had brilliant recommendations and contacts which made our stay easy and exciting. The location is great, just a minutes walk into town with many restaurants. Lions Rock entrance is also only a 5/10 minute walk from the property.

Nature
Pros:

Hôtel idéalement situé entre l'entrée et la sortie du Lion's Rock. Dans un écrin de verdure et très bien entretenu. L'hôtel propose également les safaris puisqu'ils possèdent une jeep; le safari a Eco park etait très bien.
La chambre est très spacieuse et la salle de bain est simple mais fonctionnelle.
Les petits dejeuners sont copieux.
Le directeur et le personnel de l'hôtel sont très disponible et de bons conseils. Je recommande vivement.
