The variety was impressive, from freshly baked pastries to traditional Sri Lankan dishes, all beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Pool: The infinity pool was a highlight of our stay, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. It was immaculately maintained and provided a serene environment to relax and unwind.

Guests can choose from 4 restaurants including Makara Restuarant, a contemporary Chinese restaurant and Alaka Restaurant, which serves Sri Lankan meals throughout the day. Guests can also enjoy refreshing cocktails with soothing jazz music at Migara Bar. The view is outstanding. The hotel reception is perched on top of stairs with breathtaking view of the rock. The swimming pool also has an amazing view. Loved the vibe of the hotel, the room was very nice (nicer than i expected from the pictures!). The staff was very nice. We had buffet dinner and buffet breakfast and were very satisfied. The location is good, close enough to the rock to do it at sunrise then come back to the hotel to enjoy a nice breakfast.

This 5-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The rooms are completely renovated. The dinner was absolutely delicious - we don't regret one bit for not going out for dinner to the city for our 1 night stay. Looks like they plan to do even more renovations outside. Surely recommended!
