I absolutely loved my stay at this riverside resort. The rooms were spacious and very clean, with an amazing jungle view over the river. The hotel's location in the jungle, accessed by 4WD and cable car, was truly unique. However, the bathroom didn't match the room's quality, and the lack of full-length windows was a small downside.

My stay at the jungle resort was like a retreat away from the busy world, surrounded by nature. The rooms were huge, luxurious, and so comfortable, with a spacious bathroom. The hotel staff, especially Tharindu and Abdi, were incredibly attentive and made my stay memorable. The location was deep in the jungle, providing a unique and tranquil experience, although the access road was a bit challenging. The dining options were exquisite, although getting breakfast could have started a bit earlier. Overall, a great escape with some minor considerations to keep in mind.

The hotel is nestled deep in the jungle, offering a unique experience. The rooms, though lacking warm water for showering, were beautifully decorated with a personal touch for a special occasion. The service was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, with a focus on a vegetarian and alcohol-free environment. The location, set in a bowl-shaped valley accessible only by 4WD and cable car, offers a serene jungle retreat. The dining experience, while limited in options, presented flavorful vegetarian dishes. The facilities were basic but fitting for the jungle setting.

Despite being deep in the jungle, the hotel offers a luxurious and special experience. The rooms are huge, very clean, and beautifully designed, allowing you to enjoy the natural elements while still having a touch of luxury. The only downside is the lack of air conditioning or fans, but the sound of the river outside adds to the unique ambiance.

Staying at this jungle riverside resort was a unique experience.

I found my stay at the hotel to be a mixed experience. While the rooms were spacious and located next to a river, there were some cleanliness issues with rats, bugs, and dirty beds/toilets. The service was exceptional, with helpful and friendly staff making our celebration memorable. The location, nestled in a jungle valley, offered a chance to disconnect but appeared focused on maximizing tourist spending. The dining was a highlight with some of the best food in Sri Lanka, though lacking certain traditional options. The facilities were good overall, but there were some drawbacks to consider.
