We stayed here 1nt as part of our tour and didnt want to leave. The grounds are extensive with multiple beautiful spots to watch the sunset over the lake. We walked by the lake enjoying all the wildlife. The staff were friendly and helpful. Both buffet dinner and breakfast offered delicious choices including a good amount of local cuisine for... More

We stayed here as part of a tour for 2 nights. The rooms are very basic and in need of modernising. Old tv, uninteresting decor. Buffet is poor everything is over spiced.Im normally eat anything but found it hard to find something I liked. We found a few members of staff unfriendly and rude at the restaurant. Not all of...

Buffet breakfast & dinner, many selection. I noticed they use Lemon Grace soap which I like the most :-) and feel it is different from other hotels. I did not... More

Stayed here recently for three nights. The room and bathroom were very spacious. The room boys extremely friendly and helpful. The food was plentiful and very varied. The highlight for me was sitting down by the lake early morning. So peaceful and the bird life was incredible. Definitely one of my favourite stops on our tour of Sri Lanka.

We chose a deluxe room specifically because it said 'with a view of the lake.... More

Spacious, clean, well appointed rooms. Set on several acres in a bushland setting by the lake. Loads of monkeys throughout the grounds, particularly at sunset. Elephant rides available right next door. close to polonaruwa & sigirya.

A very nice hotel (number three in a sequence of four Chaaya Hotels), but quite busy and crowded. By its location and nature it is the ideal place for exploring the area of the cultural triangle hence it is highly frequented. Arriving at the hotel we were upgrade to a higher category which was a nice surprise - the room... More
