Pros:

Der Pool

Cons:

Es fehlten Grundausstattung wie Seife, Shampoo Badematte, eine Lampe die nur zu Deko dastand aber der Stecker nicht passte. Auch keine Steckdose in der ich ohne Adapter mein Mobil Telefon aufladen konnte. Keine gute Bettdecke für das Doppelbett, nur 2 dünne Tücher. Das Frühstück war einfach, nichts besonderes.

Pros:

מקום ממש חמוד עם בריכה שהילדים נהנו ב"ה.
מחוץ למקום אין הרבה מה לעשות, צריך נהג או טוקטוק לרחוב הראשי.

סה"כ היה סבבה לגמרי וענה על הציפיות

Pros:

De hele aardige man die de dagen dat wij er zaten het resort runde. Hielp met alles, heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ontbijt was fantastisch, heel uitgebreid en ruimte voor eigen wensen. Het zwembad bijzonder fijn.

Cons:

Het is een resort opbouw, dat is leuk maar de kleine details kunnen nog beter. Ook in ons huisje, bv een paar glazen om te kunnen drinken (een koelkast is er wel), wat elementen in de douche die los zaten en bv een kleine waslijn of wasrek voor eigen gebruik zou fijn zijn. Kortom: kleine details.

Beautiful place
Pros:

Hemos pasado dos noches en este hotel y la experiencia ha sido excelente. Desde el primer momento, todo el personal ha sido increíblemente amable y atento, siempre dispuesto a ayudarnos con cualquier cosa que necesitáramos.

Queremos agradecer especialmente que nos facilitaran la carga de nuestro tuk tuk eléctrico. Para nosotros era muy importante y en todo momento nos dieron todas las facilidades, lo que demuestra su gran profesionalidad y hospitalidad.

La habitación estaba impecable, muy limpia y cómoda, y pudimos disfrutar de la piscina, que nos encantó. Fue un lugar perfecto para relajarnos después de un día de viaje.

Sin duda, recomendamos este hotel al 100 %. Nos hemos sentido muy bien atendidos y volveríamos a alojarnos aquí sin pensarlo.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights, and our experience was excellent. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff was incredibly kind, friendly, and always willing to help us with anything we needed.

We would especially like to thank them for helping us charge our electric tuk tuk. This was very important for us, and they went out of their way to make it easy, which truly showed their outstanding hospitality and customer service.

Our room was spotless, clean, and very comfortable. We also enjoyed the swimming pool, which was wonderful and the perfect place to relax after a day of traveling.

We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a welcoming and comfortable place to stay. We felt truly well looked after and would definitely stay here again.

Pros:

Very comfortable resort. Pool, although small was welcomed after a lot of walking. Ingria, the manager was terrific. We had good conversations at the end of each day. The resident cat and visiting frogs kept us entertained.

Don’t miss out on this gem in Sigiriya!
Pros:

Absolutely the best stay for us in Sri Lanka. Nice to get away from the city noise and enjoy a pool by the greenery and calmness. The room is spacious and has everything you need, plus super comfortable. Breakfast is thought through and delicious. Located close to the Lion Rock and the neighbourhood itself has nice restaurants nearby and full of friendly people! Manager is very helpful and speaks good English! I will never forget how chill this accommodation truly was. 10/10 recommend!
