The experience of living within the national park was incredible. The accommodation was very comfortable and we enjoyed seeing crocodiles from the viewing deck within the hotel premises - one of a kind experience!

There was hot water and toiletries, which is a marked upgrade from some of the other places in Sri Lanka. The bed was very comfortable & they had adequate towels, which was also not common in many places where I have stayed in Sri Lanka. The food was relatively unremarkable, advertising basil & rosemary ice cream, when in reality, it was just vanilla ice cream with dried herbs sprinkled on top. Maybe stick with the Sri Lankan country dishes. An easy walk to a quiet beach, wild surroundings but also had a TV with working cable channels. The bungalow was elegantly furnished with small animals right outside your door.

Location is great, as the hotel is next to a lake where elephants, buffaloes and crocodiles are roaming. People were friendly, food was good. I loved the place!

Excellent property and staff. You would think a cappuccino would be included in the breakfast- but no…came with extra charge and waiting time

If you are looking to get away from the busy city for some R and R look no further. The bungalow was beautiful and your surrounded by nature. The animals even enjoy time on the resort. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely visit again.
