This hotel is a beautiful oasis with stunning views of Little Adam's Peak and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are well-equipped and offer a comfortable stay, although there were minor issues with the shower setup. The service provided was exceptional, making us feel truly valued as guests. However, the dining experience could use some enhancement as the buffet options felt a bit limited during our stay, despite being reasonably priced.

I had a lovely stay at the resort, surrounded by breathtaking views of lush green hills and the sounds of nature. The rooms were spacious with a great balcony, but I felt they were a bit tired and could use some refreshing. The staff were fantastic and always had a smile, making me feel welcomed. While breakfast was a highlight, lunch had a few hiccups, like finding mould on the cheese. Overall, it was a memorable experience, but the noise from the nearby bar could be a downside for some.

I had an unforgettable stay surrounded by the picturesque hills and tea estates of Sri Lanka. The hotel is beautifully designed, offering stunning views from the room, and the staff went out of their way to ensure we felt special during our honeymoon. Unfortunately, the spa experience did not meet my expectations, as I felt the service there was subpar compared to the rest of our experience. Overall, it was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy various activities.

I had a lovely stay where my room offered stunning views, and I enjoyed delicious meals at the restaurant. However, the dining atmosphere wasn't ideal, and some aspects of the service could use improvement. Overall, it's a peaceful spot for a brief getaway, but I would recommend only staying for a couple of nights.
