Pearl in the Jungle with Private Pool

“Heerlijk verblijf”

We stayed here for 3 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The cottage was clean and had its own pool, which was perfect after a day out (the water wasn’t too cold, contrary to what some other reviews say – we were there at the end of July). Breakfast and dinner were good and generous, and there were several nice restaurants within walking distance. Same gave us thorough information on nearby sights and arranged trips for us without being pushy. Our son’s birthday fell during our visit, and Same and the staff decorated the room, sang for him, and provided a festive cake. All in all, a wonderful stay.

The setup is very nicely arranged on stilts, with 5–6 cute jungle houses each featuring a small pool. The Sri Lanka breakfast was also very good. The houses themselves are rather rustic. The bathroom is open (so it’s better not to shower at twilight when mosquitoes appear) and there are many cracks in the wood. We found various rodents inside (which isn’t a problem for us, since we’re in the middle of nature). The rodents, however, slipped into our pockets at night and ate cookies and chocolate that were both unpacked. So it’s best to leave all pockets empty or bring no food at all. We also liked the starting point for nice excursions in the area, such as safari and the Dambulla temple, and the manager was very kind in organizing these trips and onward travel for us.

“Pearl in the Jungle può migliorare”

The bungalows are very welcoming, surrounded by greenery with a pool right in front. The bathrooms are huge and practically open. The pools should be cleaned more often because leaves quickly make them dirty. We dined at the hotel one evening and it was a rather disappointing experience when considering the cost of the dinner compared to other venues. Overall, the property is too expensive for what it offers.

The accommodation is magnificent, with an incredible charm. The team is very welcoming and the food is excellent (the breakfast is varied and plentiful, and the evening meals served twice on site are also very good). Residents also have access to a larger pool at the resort next door, which is owned by the same proprietor. The place’s excellence would deserve a proper coffee machine, but after all we’re in the tea country and I would return without hesitation.

“Enjoyable.”

Comfortable clean rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. Tasty breakfast. When booking I did not realise how far it is from Sigiriya
