Pros:

The resort is close to a lake and it's like a natural laid back vibe. The staff and the owner specifically is super helpful. They took us to nearby spot and gelped us in traveling around. The rooms were also okay. You can definitely check it out if you want to relax.

Cons:

The food could improve and the location is a little off from the road so sometime it's difficult for cab drivers to understand.

Un Oasis para descansar en Sigiriya
Pros:

Ha sido durante cuatro días nuestro Oasis. Tuvimos el complejo para nosotros solos y los niños lo disfrutaron un montón la piscina está genial para darte un baño después de las excursiones por la zona y el personal es maravilloso siempre con una sonrisa y dispuestos a ayudarte en lo que necesites, totalmente recomendable

Pros:

Calm location close to Sigiriya. Friendly staff.

Cons:

The bathroom was very dirty, with stains, hair in the drain, and a leaking bidet shower. There was a dead spider, ants, and a few geckos in the room. Overall, the room was not very clean and definitely not worth the price.

Pros:

Beautiful, super pool. If you’re lucky you can see an elephant or more. There is lot of peacocks around and you can even catch an iguana or two. The staff is really nice and caring and always at your service.

Uiterst vriendelijk personeel!
Pros:

Het ontzettend vriendelijke en behulpzame personeel, en de manager Dennis die alles in het werk stelde om ons te helpen met wat probleempjes die we hadden met onze Jeep....
Zwembad was heerlijk, kamers waren ruim.

Cons:

Eigenlijk niks, omdat we wel wat gewend zijn van beestjes en insecten.
