Pros:

Absolutely lovely room and big bathroom, fantastic pool and views of Sigriya rock are unparalleled. The views make Aliya stand out and really worth the stay. Great for car transfers and tours around the area, really well located.

Cons:

While the hotel was generally very good, the food was a bit lacking and the local food served was often too spicy for us and the alternatives weren't as well made. Also, the crocodiles on the property, although seemingly kept in a zone, might be a bit scary for some people. It's definitely a good hotel and I would recommend it for those wanting to tour the cultural triangle.

Could be great !
Pros:

Has the potential to be a great hotel, room was comfortable and big. Staff were lovely.

Cons:

The hotel felt like it just needed a really deep clean! Pool looks fabulous but water is cloudy it’s needs better care again needs a deep clean. General manager needs a good talking to raise standards across the board!

AGRÉABLE hotel avec une vue magnifique sur le rocher de Sigiriya
Pros:

L emplacement est parfait et la vue magnifique. Le resort est très agréable et tranquille...beaucoup de verdure et d'animaux. Il est possible de faire d'agréable promenade autour de l'hotel.

Cons:

Le personnel galère un peu lorsque il y a du monde au restaurant. Dommage car le personnel est très agréable...Mauvaise odeur en Provenance de l'arrosage la journée .Manque de propreté au niveau de la piscine . Prix trop élevée pour le type de prestation.

Fantastic place to stay and explore sigiriya and Minneriya with great staff.
Pros:

Amazing staff, Alisha was fantastic and assisted with everything we required. Fantastic pool. Kids loved the recycled paper and pottery making activities.

Cons:

Not the easiest process to get into town. Kids club currently being renovated so is closed.

Great Location, nice property and excellent staff!
Pros:

The property is very nice and has touch of local cultural aspects. There were good food options and lots of activities to explore. The pool was nice and while it was not temperature controlled, they nature did a good job at balancing it. Our host Alisha did a fantastic job at looking after us as our one point of contact for everything. She was pleasant and always there to welcome when she saw us around. Also Desha from F&B did a very good job and was pleasant. Housekeeping ensure cleanliness and rooms were turned down for us to wind the day. Overall we had a very good time and will definitely visit again.

Cons:

F&B Ala Carte service can be improved a little as we found it difficult to find staff to order. Also one particular gentleman at the BAR wasn’t very pleasant and visibly upset when we ordered some snacks to go with our coffee and Tea which they were servicing at the BAR as part of our package. Apart from that, everything was very good so didn’t affect our overall stay.

Pros:

Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was excellent, buffet for dinner not as good. We did try the Dragon restaurant- which was excellent but under utilized due to lack of tourists- the menu was limited but very good- they essentially opened it for us and one other group. Yoga was great with Manuli. Perfect way to start the day.

One of the best experiences in Sri Lanka so far. Clean, safe, amazing atmosphere, don’t miss a chance to try marshmallow pudding. It’s just amazing.

Cons:

Nothing to mention.
