Beautiful setting, very remote and high altitude. Weather was so much cooler than the south . Long trousers and Jumper recommended for evening and morning. Rain coat f you are doing hikes . We had a super time here , staff were outstanding and the level of detail was perfect. Hot water bottle in bed at night was so welcoming. Two nights to chill. Full board , all drinks , snacks all great with a lovely afternoon tea by the infinity pool.

Absolutely stunning property and surroundings! House and rooms are nice and clean but public spaces felt small for the 7 rooms (14 people). It is nice if you are happy to socialize and share space. Staff was amazing and accommodating - food was good, not amazing - a little hit or miss. We didn’t have the full board / all inclusive like others and I felt like the prices were high for Sri Lanka. Menu was more accommodating to the full board. This is a remote location so plan to be spending most meals at the hotel if you don’t have activities planned. Overall good experience!

Ægte 5 stjerner - usnobbet luksus

Luksus på den usnobbede og ægte måde. Der findes wanna-be 5-stjernede, og så er der steder som Thotalagala, hvor 5 stjerner ikke rækker, fordi det at give gæsterne den bedste oplevelse (altid), er inkorporeret i dna’et hos medarbejdere, i ledelsen og i ydelserne der tilbydes. Det er de mange små ting som varmedunk i sengen, aften-te på værelset, vedligeholdelsesstanden overalt samt at alt kan lade sig gøre, der viser, at dette er et ægte luksus-hotel.
