    beautiful pool
    nature surroundings

    great access to udawalawe attractions and relaxing park views

    My stay was wonderful, especially with the beautiful pool area surrounded by nature and the proximity to the Udawalawe Elephant Orphanage just a short drive away. I loved unwinding by the pool after a day of strolling through the wildlife-rich parks nearby which made exploring so easy.

    lack facilities

    spacious tents, outdoor bathrooms, beautiful jungle surroundings

    The lack of AC in standard tents doesn’t cut it!!! A fridge would be a welcome addition!!! there were noise disturbances from nearby vehicles and fellow guests late into the night!!!

    outdoor shower
    great food
    safari experience
    pool cleanliness
    wi-fi access

    The luxury tent offered an amazing experience with an outdoor shower and beautiful views from the balcony. The noise from wildlife at night added a unique ambiance. The food was fantastic with a large selection of Sri Lankan and Western options at dinner. Breakfast included. The safari organized by the hotel was well worth the price, and our driver was knowledgeable about the wildlife, making the experience even better. the pool area needed more attention. it had old, broken chairs, and I noticed some cleanliness issues. the distance from the room to the main reception made accessing Wi-Fi tricky, which ideally should be addressed.

    amazing, amazing, amazing

    The outdoor swimming pool was an absolute gem. I loved lounging on the sun loungers surrounded by lush greenery. The breakfast spread was plentiful, offering a perfect mix of local and continental options that set us up for a day of adventure. I was particularly enchanted by the spacious Double Room with Pool View, where the serene view and natural light made each moment magical.

    A great place for relaxation and safari access! The beds were super comfy and the breakfast buffet was extensive. The pool area was clean and peaceful. Mardu, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and made our safari unforgettable. 🌟

    outdoor restaurant
    wildlife

    Just a prime choice for a brief hiatus in Udawalawe with excellent value for money. The outdoor restaurant was a nice spot to unwind while watching the kids play nearby. Avoid bringing too much food, as the wildlife might join you unexpectedly.

    spacious tent
    excellent breakfast
    poor staff communication
    limited dining options
    lack of drinking water

    The spacious tent offered a unique experience with delightful outdoor bathrooms and great lighting. the mixed communication from staff, particularly regarding dietary requirements, highlighted some organizational issues. Dinner options lacked local flavor, compared to the outstanding breakfast menu featuring traditional Italian dishes, which stood out as a highlight of the stay. While the pool area was enjoyable, the lack of complimentary drinking water on-site was inconvenient.

    accessibility concern

    The outdoor swimming pool was incredible and perfect for our teenage kids. We loved the children's playground and wildlife scenery. Our half-day safari was a highlight, with knowledgeable guides making it memorable. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, providing a great retreat.

    My kids wished for better accessibility from the room to common areas.

    refreshing drink

    It was just a fine choice for a weekend adventure in Udawalawe with decent value for money. The welcome drink was refreshing and made our arrival much nicer. Be prepared for noisy wildlife at night. it adds to the experience but can be disturbing if you're a light sleeper.

    We had an unforgettable stay with a unique outdoor shower and clean pools, but the breakfast buffet could be improved. I'd return without hesitation!
