  It's very beautiful nature and very calm place. Staff was quick, friendly and great service. Cleanliness of the hotel and surrounding areas are very best. Tasty meals and very well prepared foods. We stayed at that amazing place & we were extremely happy with the weather also. Swimming pools also very clean.

  That amazing place in Deraniyagala is almost good but the road which has reach near the hotel little difficult because it was a damage some places. If it'll construct, the greatest thing of reaching the hotel and very good experience of guests.

  Secluded rainforest lodge

  Super relaxing listening to the sound of the river surrounding the resort. Beautiful place nestled directly in the rainforest. There's also a small walkway down to the river where you can swim, which we stumbled upon.

  The property emphasised how difficult the road is to access after booking. However, this should really be highlighted on the description, as well as explaining how windy and out of the way from everything the property is. I think there should also be some activities that guests can do, since it is so secluded i.e. yoga/massage etc.. I would like to mention as an eco resort I thought there would be eco-friendly options in the rooms, such as soap (no plastic bottles), filtered water rather than plastic water bottles and signs around the property to conserve water/energy. I was surprised that this was lacking. The service was also pretty slow and there was only one other family staying there. The staff checking us in didn't give us much information, it would have been really helpful if they had mentioned information about the dinner/breakfast and even told us about the option to swim in the river or explore walking trails (which we didn't find).

  Super mooie ligging, wel lastig te bereiken

  Het is een heel mooie omgeving en de ligging en uitzicht vanuit het zwembad is super mooi

  Er was heel veel regen. Hierdoor was het hotel (laatste 2km) slecht bereikbaar. Daarnaast was er daardoor (niet raften en geen wandelingen) niets te doen. Het personeel kon daar ook niet bij helpen.
