after travelling around Sri Lanka we needed to have a bit of luxury and some hot water to wash properly. This was perfect, We had a bit of a weird all over body massage which involved being naked and afterwards they bathed you and washed your hair, but was lovely to look out on the balcony and be in the...

Stayed for just one night as part of a tour. Road to the hotel is full of potholes, so make sure everything is secure before you start up (and down). Reception is open air and efficient. Shown to room #17, which was large, clean and well laid out. The thing that made it was the view.....is was a $1M view.... More

Amaya Hills was our first stop in our 11 day family vacation in Sri Lanka...we arrived late at night at Colombo airport and decided to proceed straight to Kandy(a 3 hour Toyota van journey) as found spending a night in Negombo(is what 90% of travel operators in SL will advise on your way in as that is the closest to...

Its just a awesome view; but the service, facilities are pretty much below average. Staff is friendly but not up to star standards at all. Not much of a variety in foods and nothing much to say about the taste as well. We stayed in a Delux room and I was surprised about space of it. Very small room with... More

Hotel is on top of a mountain which overviews the whole city of Kandy .. The room was clean however the bed was not very confy.. We were unlucky having a sport team checked in rooms around us which created lots of noise and inconvenience for us .. And after raising the issue to the hotel couple of times, we... More

We were on a business stay, the hotel is breathtaking with a wonderful view from a top of a mountain. The room was large and two storied. The lobby door opened out to the balcony, but the chairs were very uncomfortable. They took about 15 minutes to check us in and check out was even more. The staff was not... More

This is a lovely hotel! the rooms are amazing and we had a great view from the hill overlooking the beautiful scenery of Kandy. Staff were nice and friendly although a bit haphazard at breakfast time. No big deal really as it was busy. The pool is lovely with a nice view again. A lovely relaxing experience altogether.

Bottom Line: I do not fit the target demographic and the people in the restaurant made it amply clear -- very very disappointing. The horrendous experience was entirely avoidable. I am reminded of Master Shifu in Kung-fu Panda -- "Inner peace !!" So, make sure you fit their target demographic or the trouble ain't worth it. We were here two... More

We only stayed at this hotel for one night during a tour and arrived late in the evening and left early in the morning, I was slightly dreading it after reading some of the reviews but needn't have worried as I wish we could have stayed longer. We were given a junior suite which was fantastic with a king size... More
