We stayed at this lovely resort hotel for two nights while sightseeing at Sigiriya Rock. It was nestled in the middle of a vast forest.
Our room was a two-story, cottage-style building, and ours was on the first floor. We could hear the footsteps of people upstairs starting at 4:00 AM, which was a bit loud, and there was a noticeable smell coming from the drains. However, the food was delicious (though breakfast was nothing special), and we enjoyed the refreshing breeze in the restaurant in front of the pool. Since there were no restaurants nearby, we included dinner. We chose from the à la carte menu on our first night, and the buffet on our second night offered a wide selection of curries and desserts. We had trouble with Wi-Fi on our second day due to a network outage, but it was fixed the next morning.
The staff were all friendly and welcoming. Because the hotel is remote, we asked the hotel to arrange round-trip tuk-tuks to Sigiriya Rock and Pidurangala. Both trips cost 4,800 rubles. The same driver came both days and was a nice young man, but the local guide was surprised that the price was much higher than the tuk-tuks you can hail in the area, so please be careful if you use this service.
