I think the most have been written about this hotel already. We stayed there for 3 nights in January 2012 and was pleased with our stay. The room was clean, had a couple of bottles of free drinking water and a minibar/fridge, and not to forget an electric mosquito killer that actually worked.
The bar area provided a splendid view over the pool with Sigiriya Rock in the background as quite a few of the photos here are showing.
The food was varied and generally good.
We have experienced some times at places like this they make a choise of Western food that is completely tasteless. That was partially true also here. Fortunately they also had a good choise of Sri Lankan food that tasted very good.
One of the nights the water in the pool looked not clean at all, but the next night it looked nice and clear. I guess they may have had a temporary problem with the filtering equipment.
The hotel consists of low buildings almost hidden in the wood, so birds, monkeys and other animals roamed the area.
The staff was nice and attentive. We can safely recommend this hotel to others.
