Every room is a lovely cottage that is spread around this sprawling property. The set up is of a Sri Lankan village. The pool is amazing and the bar in the... More

Chalets were clean and beautiful, with all amenities. The interior decor was splendid. All you needed was included in the room. When it came to the Dinner buffet, I... More

I believe its one of the finest hotels in Dambulla which offers such peaceful, relaxing yet luxurious experience. The hotel mainly consists of 70 odd chalets speciously built over a vast area of land guaranteeing its guests adequate privacy. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Warm and friendly staff, would greet you with a smile anytime. Food was delicious.... More

We loved our deluxe room, the gardens and the swimming pool. We found the buffet style meals a bit disappointing as it was geared to group travel and we wete travelling as a couple. Didnt really speak to any other staff except our room boy who was a delight.

We stayed at Amaya lakes for two nights. Its a good open property with small villas / rooms across in lush greenery. We really loved the lakeside, the sound of the birds and the small creatures that flurried around. The pool too was nice. Food options were limited with just one operating restaurant, though it had a good buffet spread.... More

Stayed here for 3 days on holiday visiting here after our previous visit which was 10 years ago. It was nice to revisit the place especially because we had ranked this as a really nice hotel to stay at given our previous visit. It was however sad that the place had gone down somewhat since, in our opinion. The chalets... More
