We stayed here for the 2nd & 3rd nights of our honeymoon - which took in New Years eve. It was the best new year celebrations i have been to for many years. We did not want for anything during the 'banquet' and the entertainment was good. The chalets are basic but not uncomfortable and have the amenities you'd expect,... More

Spacious, clean, well appointed rooms. Set on several acres in a bushland setting by the lake. Loads of monkeys throughout the grounds, particularly at sunset. Elephant rides available right next door. close to polonaruwa & sigirya.

A very nice hotel (number three in a sequence of four Chaaya Hotels), but quite busy and crowded. By its location and nature it is the ideal place for exploring the area of the cultural triangle hence it is highly frequented. Arriving at the hotel we were upgrade to a higher category which was a nice surprise - the room... More

We quite enjoyed this hotel, again a base for the cultural triangle. While we heard the next door hotel was a bit higher, we did enjoy the setting and hotel overall. The cottages were great, quiet except for loud people walking by which doesn't last very long. The food was great, although a bit of a crush at times. One... More
