The resort offers a truly immersive experience in nature, with beautiful scenic gardens and cozy chalet-style rooms. The staff made our stay memorable with their dedication, especially during meal times. However, the dining experience had some room for improvement, particularly in the consistency of the food quality at the buffet. Overall, it's a wonderful place to unwind in a peaceful setting, though the dining options could be enhanced.

The hotel is beautifully situated by a large lake, making it a serene escape while being close to the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka. The open-plan design of the reception, bar, and restaurant boasts a charming colonial style. The food was among the best I experienced during my travels. However, I did face some challenges with slow Wi-Fi and a long walk from my room to the central area. Overall, I would recommend it for its ambiance and service.
