    Perfect accommodation, the breakfast was marvellous, stunning location convenient to book a safari. It was fashionable and contemporary, good enough for one night. The beds were nice and the bathroom was reasonably clean. Location: the hotel was adjacent to the restaurant, main reception, entrance and all balconies from all the rooms, elephant transit home and the the National Park. Also, Udawalawe Elephants park was 3 km away:)))

    The location was amazing - right in the jungle! 🌿 On top of that, it was super convenient being close to a national park. They even arranged safaris for us with a driver and tour guide, plus a taxi service was available. It made exploring around here so easy and fun!

    If you're planning on visiting the Uda Walawe Park, this hotel is perfectly located. It's just a stone's throw away from the national park, so you can easily access the amazing wildlife. The rooms are comfortable and clean, offering a much-needed respite after a tiring day of exploring. The staff is incredibly helpful and will assist you in organizing your safari. Plus, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the pool. It's a nature lover's paradise!

    The food at the hotel leaves much to be desired. It's a shame that such a beautiful place lacks quality when it comes to meals.
