Great base for sight seeing

We stayed as a couple here whilst visiting Dambulla rock caves and Sigiriya fortress. The hotel entrance and lobby is impressive with a good bar and sitting area which is at tree top level. We had a duplex room which was clean, neat and tidy with a very large comfy bed, large…

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback on TripAdvisor followed by your recent visit to the resort. We are indeed happy to hear that you have enjoyed your stay with us and trust you took happy memories back home from your trip to this Paradise Island.

Classic

ADVISE: Book for at least 2 days to enjoy the hotel properly. Include Dinner in your package since the hotel is far away (7-8 km) from Dambula. Bar or Restaurant is not expensive so no worries even if it's not included.

Highly recommended

Currently sat in the hotel lobby writing this review because I'm so impressed with our experience. I was a little worried at first as we are both 30 years old and the hotel is far away from restaurants or bars however when you arrive it's a peaceful sanctuary. We have stayed…

Very pleasant hotel

We are two couples on a 17 day holiday travelling around Sri Lanka and this was one of the pre arranged stops for two nights. We were upgraded to lovely big two storey rooms with large outside verandas and hot tubs in the back yards. These were rather dirty as open to the…

Thanks for your advice regarding the location of the hotel. Out of curiosity if everyone has to eat and drink in the hotel due to location how much is the buffet per person and the cost of drinks ? Kindest regards

Hi Our package included the meals hence do not know separate charges. Since the location is little away, better to include meals. Lunch can be had out side. They have a bar but cost will depend on what you consume. But rates were reasonable. Hope this answers your queries

I was just wondering what people do in the evening at this hotel ? Do people use the bar area and is there any music or atmosphere? Also, if we wanted to eat out and go for a drink at night is there anywhere local (ish) Thanks

The lobby bar is decent but sadly very under-used ... we suggested when there that the hotel do 'happy hour' or two for one drinks or something like those lines to encourage people. Myself and my colleague there were the only two in the evening at the bar and we sadly accounted for over half their daily taking! (not sure if thats a good or bad thing haha) ... a lot of guests are Oriental and dont really drink, when there a group of 8 shared one bottle of beer haha! Hotel is in the middle of nowhere and there isn't really anywhere to go to. We only stayed there for 2 nights which was more than enough, lovely hotel but if you want things to do (other than the touristy stuff) you are lacking I am afraid.

1.Would we be able to hire a taxi for the day from the Paradise resort to Anuradhapura and Dambulla Rock Temple.? 2. Approximately how much would it cost. ? 3. Would we need to book in advance or just order on the day or the day before the trip ? we are staying in April 2017 thank you Kind regards Julie

Best to organise your transport in and out of this hotel because it's not as helpful as it should be.
