Just a good pick for getting around area in Udawalawe with good value considering price it charged. They offered a welcome drink upon arrival, which was a nice touch. Use the PickMe app for affordable transport around town.

The suite we were upgraded to was fantastic, with a unique pebble stone built open shower, adding character to the stay. The pool area was a quiet oasis, perfect for a quick swim before our adventures.

The dining experience was disappointing. the buffet offered limited options, and the Al-a-carte food wasn't warm when it arrived. The dining area itself felt vast and a bit soulless, detracting from the overall enjoyment of meals. WiFi being restricted to the lobby was a hassle, especially since the rooms lacked any connectivity. The overall atmosphere seemed dated, and some maintenance issues were visible in the bathrooms, which detracted from the comfort of the stay.

The spacious Super Deluxe room was a welcome retreat, featuring a great view of the hotel grounds. The staff exuded warmth and friendliness, making us feel at home during our stay. Unfortunately, the dining options were underwhelming, with some meals lacking freshness, particularly the curry served cold. the overall atmosphere felt uninviting, making meals less enjoyable, especially with large tour groups present.

The spacious Super Deluxe room provided a perfect retreat between safaris. I appreciated the tranquil pool area, ideal for relaxing after a long day. in-room dining lacked warmth and flavor compared to other places. A tip , consider dining out instead!

We had such a lovely time enjoying the spacious room and the delicious buffet that had lots of tasty options every meal. The outdoor pool was a wonderful chill spot, and I also indulged in a great massage at the spa. Just a heads-up, the WiFi not being in the rooms was slightly annoying, but overall, it was a fantastic stay! 🌟
