We stayed for 4 nights, early January. Most days were light drizzle, or threatening to rain. So the hotel needed to be good. Luckily, it was. |We had a plunge pool villa - never stepped into the plunge pool, but the villa was huge, well-appointed and very nice. Private, no views as such but lovely and tranquil. |The estate (it’s big) is absolutely beautiful and teeming not only with birdlife (kingfishers, herons, egrets, hornbills, mynah birds, peafowl etc etc) but also monkeys, monitor lizards, freshwater crocodile - absolutely brilliant. The palatial grounds are meticulously maintained. |Lovely, lovely team, with special shout out to the Balinese girls in the Spa and Tharindu, the engaging and very knowledgeable naturalist. Everyone there made us feel relaxed and at home. |It’s a devil to get to 5 hours drive from Colombo airport straight off of three flights) but worth every single white knuckle minute of the transfer. Highly, highly recommend.
