We stayed for 2 nights, and we both thought that the food and the public areas were amazing. We also booked the yoga classes which were great. The bungalows are very cool, they are open, so you get a pretty unique experience. The beds are a bit on the hard side, this should be improved.

8.4/10 Very Good! (5 reviews)
The room was spacious, clean and luxurious. There were a few bugs but this is to be expected staying in the jungle. The check in staff were fantastic and very pleasant. The restaurant was a little slow with their service, and better food can be found in town.

I’d have loved to try their lobster dinner special, but due to the government enforced curfew, we were unable to dine outside of our hotel that last night. Our first night, we did go to a Mexican fusion restaurant called the Hideout. Highly recommend

It's Sri Lanka... People are friendly, it's fairly clean and super safe. The food is awesome. One of the very few locations that are not overcrowded with cheap tourists...
