Es handelt sich um eine sehr große und gepflegte Hotelanlage mit sehr aufmerksamen Personal und tollem infinity pool. Beim Spaziergang rund um die Anlage hat man eine schöne Sicht in die Teeplantagen und kann auch Affen begegnen. Nachteilig ist, dass das Hotel etwas abgelegen ist und eher eine vornehme Anonymität herrscht.

Amazing place!!!

This place is a paradise corner. I would definitely rate it as a 5* resort due to its picturesque views, infinity pool, nature friendly approach, high customer service, intimacy and so much more. LOCATION: on the top of a peak, in the middle of the luxuriant forest. Pretty intimate, only 18 rooms for a huge domain. CLEANLINESS: Very clean and properly maintained. STAFF: One of the best customer service I experienced in Sri Lanka. Very attentive with their guest, going above and beyond to provide one of a kind type of service to each customer. FACILITIES: Did I mention about that infinity pool? It's way better in real life. Breakfast on the terrace with amazing views and birds twitting around you. It's a beautiful location for hosting events as well since they have plenty of space. They even have a tracking path, a gym and a helipad! What else would you wish for? It is definitely the best value for the money in that part of Sri Lanka. You won't be disappointed if you choose this hotel.

Fantastic location within an Tea estate up in the hills. You can take walks with a guide who will show/tell you about different animals and plants. There is an amazing infinity pool with beautiful views. Rooms are spacious and nice. Staff is wonderful. A perfect place if you want peace and quiet.
