A Great Place to Unwind...the Early morning view of the Tea Garden and Pedro Peak is breath taking....

The rooms were nice but seemed to have a Mexican theme. Bathrooms were slightly too small. Shame about the billiard room closing so early.

We stayed 3 nights and the poor service began to irritate. We had the best room (2 level suite 207-8) which was cosy with good decor but minute shower and bath. Ayurvedic spa was basic but good quality, the pool too chilly for the kids, breakfast and buffet good but otherwise food not up to the standard of other top hotels. We liked the space and tranquillity and the views, especially sunset, are stunning. But the lousy management could not spell wine or answer phone/email reservations properly (the central amaya booking office was efficient though).

If you have no kids choose the Kandy House, if with kids for a few days then the Earls Regency is a safer choice (better service, food, closer to town) though a little big. Nearby Peradeniya Gardens is one of world's most atmospheric botanical gardens.

We had a great 2 night stay at Amaya Hills. The journey up was quite slow due to the roads being washed away by recent floods, but once there it was worth the drive!

Views were stunning, the pool was nice and clean and the rooms were comfortable also.

Meals were also excellent with a good variety of traditional Sinhalese food and Western food (they even had a carvery with roasted meats and BBQ'd fish on the Friday night).

All in all a great hotel and I would recommend a stay here to anyone!!
