Large pool and beautiful jungle setting. Good pool side areas with lots of shade. Food at dinner was very tasty and good value. The management agreed to room upgrade after the room we were given was not good. ( check whether your room has a balcony as the rooms in the 'block' do and those in the main building do not ) Playing pool before dinner Great AC in the rooms Good value safari driver arranged by the staff in the hotel ( tip. we paid the driver $40 for the driver, and bought tickets on arrival at the Udawalawe park entrance. you can pick up a local volunteer guide in the car park as you buy your tickets who can talk through the animals and park detail. we then tipped the guide around $10. The total for the 3 hour safari worked about $40 per person)

    We were only passing by for some business matters. But holiday wise nothing really much to see unless you're an agri culture enthusiast. Pretty close to Udawalawa National Park, so it's a good stop over for someone who wants to do Udawalawa Safari.

    There is no any other town in Srilanka growing faster than Embilipitiya. About 20 years ago, this was a tiny hamlet and no basic facilities at all. However, it was amazing to see that the town has expanded and had turned into a modern city. Without any hesitation I can say that this is the fastest growing city behind Colombo. There is no hesitation that this is now the biggest city in Ratnapura District. All modern facilities are there and branch of all banks, big insurance companies and large companies are here.

    The bathroom that separates the shower area from the toilet! This was the only place where we didn’t have to wipe up the toilet seat after taking a shower in Sri Lanka. The hot shower, cooling a/c, clean bed linens and towels,,things that are standard in the western countries are not always the case in Sri Lanka, so this was really a nice experience. The staff were really nice as well.

    We stayed one night to do a Safari in Udawalawe. It was the perfect hotel for that. Walking distance to the Main Bus station.host was very friendly and arranged everything for us. We even got a delicious homemade breakfast to take with us. The service was outstanding! The room was very clean and comfortable. The price was very reasonable - I would definitively recommend this place.

    A place where the coolness of the mango shade and the silence of the environment brought wonderful comfort to the mind. Shaman, the owner of the hotel, is one of the best people I have met in Sri Lanka. Definitely I will come again.
