“A truly unforgettable stay — incredible setting, exceptional service, and the loveliest people.”
Kahanda Kanda was honestly incredible, and it was easily the best service we’ve had at a resort. We visited during the monsoon season, but it rarely rained during the day, and the quiet atmosphere made the whole place feel very peaceful and intimate. The setting is unique, surrounded by jungle and tea plantations. We stayed in Hibiscus Villa, which was gorgeous. Monkeys swung through the trees around us and peacocks wandered and flew between the trees, calling to each other as the evening ended. We watched it all from our infinity pool, which felt like our own private wildlife show. Even the monitor lizards, which initially frightened me, turned out to be quite cute 😂 The service was exceptional from start to finish. We arrived in the middle of the night and, after messaging us during our journey to get our details and dinner order, Chanaka and the team greeted us and took us straight to our villa, where a little picnic‑box dinner was waiting. Throughout the stay, everything from housekeeping and turndown to laundry, room service, and pool cleaning was timed so perfectly around us that by the time we thought to ask for something, it had often already been done. All the staff were so kind and welcoming, each one seemed genuinely happy to be there and worked hard to make every part of our stay as perfect as possible. The food was fantastic, with everything freshly sourced or grown in‑house. The seafood platter was incredible and easily enough for 3–4 people. The facilities were perfect; I had a great massage every day, and their homemade mosquito spray actually worked brilliantly. And of course, Rossi the dog deserves a shout out too — she welcomed us in the middle of the night and popped up during our stay to say hi and make us smile 🐶 We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back. Nothing to criticize; I just wish we could have stayed longer.
