Thuduwa Eco Resort

Although very close to Udawalawe in location, it was our most expensive hotel a night in all of Sri Lanka. When we arrived we were greeted with a drink which was nice however it seemed like we were the only people in the hotel (we were). There were a lot of staff - place looks a bit deserted - we booked for the photos online and it isn’t a correct reflection. The pool did look beautiful and clean however. They told us to give an hours notice for dinner - we told them 6pm then at 3.30 went and asked for 5.30 - at 5 we went to where the restaurant was (nothing like the picture) and had to wait an hour and a half. In saying that the food was delicious and a shout out to Anil who was lovely and gave good service. Though the pineapple juice was 1000 a cup which we found steep. In terms of room - a lot of bugs in the bathroom, the shower did flood, one single sheet on the bed and the safe didn’t work. Later that night when we went to go to sleep there was a lot of howling from the many dogs on property (that’s fine, just feel bad because they looked skinny). However at around 1am a big party began with shouting, drums and a lot of noise. This kept us awake and we had an early morning safari. On asking about this at checkout the staff laughed about it. There was also at least six staff members when we were checking out yet no one was in a particular rush to help us. Overall not worth the money - if they invested more in service would be a nice place. They seem to be building more accomodation by the lake.

We had 2 deluxe double rooms booked. So far so good. On arrival it looked like they didnt know we where coming. I need to mention, we were the only 3 guest in the whole resort. Check in was a bit bumpy, but we managed. After arrival we were asked for sinner, we only had to choices. Rice and curry, or chicken rice.....there are kayaks and a pedal boats available, but they will charge u 3500rs per person for half broken down kayaks even we it never mentioend anything sbout payment. So we didn't go. We took the pedal boat and were still charged. Nice birds around tho. We saw tucans and pelicans but still with no one around they still charged us upon check out. Food was ok, better go for rice and curry. 2500rs per person😜 Breakfast is chicken on toast eith pineapple, no sauce, no water, just 3, pieces of fruit. Chsrged 1500rs We had own own ssfari booked so can't say much about their service. Upon check out they try to charge 15usd for the single occupancy even tho i booked 2 double rooms. So overall i wouldnt recommend the place, mot sure why all reviews are rhst positve. Pool was murky, **** laying around everywhere and overall i found the olace 20usd cheaper as we paid, just one day before arrival.

We got caught in the rain on the evening of November 10. We found a hotel on the lake on the maps and came to have a look. The polite hotel staff explained everything in detail and showed us the room. A huge room with a luxurious bathroom practically under the open sky. A very large double bed, a terrace and a delicious breakfast. We were happy. We recommend it to everyone!

This is the second visit to the hotel and they really keeping up with the good work and hospitality. Rooms are clean and specious and well maintained. Food is fabulous with reasonable prices. Mr Raj had helped with the booking and our requirements. Hasaranga is very helpful and very quick service this is the second time he helped us with wat we need. Looking forward for the next visit end this year.

We came to SL in April 2024 for a short visit from NZ and visited Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home, then stayed a night at Thuduwa Camp with another family. It was a wonderful experience for our families together at a peaceful, yet an attractive location. We booked two triple rooms, one a stand alone family unit and another one, converted to a quadruple. Rooms were simple, but a great specious design, bathrooms were great and clean too. I cannot go without saying how delicious the food was. We had fried rice, chicken devilled, vegetable chopsuey, onion & tomatoes salad and chili paste for dinner. We loved it, so delicious and kids kept eating. We were offered many options for breakfast, we stopped at string hoppers, red rice, fish curry, coconut sambol (the best I had in SL), dhaal curry, and potato & chili tempered (again the best I had in SL), we loved it so much and were exceptional. Special mention is needed for Iroshan and Hasaranga who looked after us so well, very professional and were so caring, thank you again boys.. Keep doing what you are doing!! Highly recommend for families.. All the very best...
