My stay at the resort spa was truly unforgettable. The rooms were unique, beautifully designed, and offered an amazing view of the lake, providing a tranquil sanctuary. Breakfast was the highlight of my stay, the best I had while exploring Sri Lanka. Although the pool area was pleasant, some amenities felt a bit lacking. Overall, it was a great value for the experience, despite a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at this resort was quite the experience. The spacious rooms provided a comfortable retreat after spending the day enjoying activities, and it was quite amusing watching buffaloes casually munching grass right outside. The service was delightful, with the staff going out of their way to be accommodating, especially when engaging with my little one. On the downside, the dining options felt a little repetitive, lacking variety in the meals offered. Overall, I'd say it was a good deal considering the experience, but some aspects could use improvement.

My stay at the resort was quite enjoyable, marked by an incredible view and a lovely pool area. The breakfast was hands down the best I've had, but I felt the dining options could use some diversity. The service was impeccable, with staff going above and beyond, especially arranging an early lunch for my safari. Overall, I found it to be a peaceful retreat, although the price per night was definitely on the higher side.
