A hidden little gem

The last bit of approach to the resort is through an unpaved road. So its natural to be skeptical about what awaits you. But being in a secluded area probably gives the luxury of space. I must say I was pleasantly surprised to get such a property at a fairly reasonable price. There are 2 buildings. Try to select the older one since it provides a view of the Sigriya Rock, the biggest attraction around Dambulla. I stayed in the new wing. The family room was quite spacious and overlooked lush forest. The washroom was also large sized. We ordered a la carte for dinner and dishes were well prepared. Breakfast was sumptuous as well. Since there were a lot of cancellations due to Covid, the staff was always around to help the few guests. They kept chatting us up to make us feel welcome. Overall a nice well run small resort.

Difficult to access. Staff needs training.

Hotel is accessible only by a really rough mud path. Upon check in, I was given a room with only one king bed. I specified preference for one king and one twin in my booking. Somehow this information wasn't submitted to the hotel. Hotel staff didn't take any initiative to resolve this issue at all until I pushed them one step at a time.

This holiday was magical. The staff was friendly, attentive and did their best to make us feel home. The pool is designed in a fantastic way, that our two years old could play freely, while we could swim right next to him. The rooms were super clean and spacious and the chef was making a special menu for every meal. This is a must stay, if you truly want to relax and break away from the usual.

The hosts were great and very welcoming. such an amazing treatment. Also the property is new and super clean. Great location and near all the best restaurants in town. As someone who travels to a different country every week, I have to say Cassandra properties are the best in terms of value.

Outstanding customer service. Manager noticed me attending dinner alone and discretely enquired about my wife. I told him she was sick and he immediately arranged for water and coke to be sent to the room. This level of perception is rare and very admirable. Really enjoyed our short stay at Cassandra resort.

Lovely and secluded

We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is a bit removed from the rest and was hard to get to as the tuk tuk drivers did not appear to know where it was. The hotel calls a tuk tuk for you when you want to go and see the various sites around. The driver we had was exceptional and very helpful. We used him for 3 days while we were there. Weather ordered room service and had some issues which were resolved very well by Jeffery the manager. He went out if his way to make amends and truly went beyond resolving the issue. Big thanks to Jeffery the manager and Dumenda our tuk tuk driver. It is people like this that make Sri Lanka a lovely place to visit. Jinn

All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Super clean room, with the best Wi-fi we have experienced in Sri Lanka. Buffet breakfast and dinner (don’t be put off by the buffet, it was a great way to try new local dishes) exceeded expectations and was delicious. Pool and surrounding area was well maintained. Would highly recommend.

Exceeded my expectations Thanks to Trip Advisor I booked this hotel. The room was very spacious with view of the Lion Rock. The bed was very comfortable and the A/C was perfect. The bathroom has a large shower and plenty of hot water. Wi-fi worked very well. I was pleasantly surprised with the pool, which was nicer than the photos. The meals totally exceeded my expectations…absolutely worth it to take their half board. Lovely complete breakfast and for dinner a great choice of Sri Lankan barbecue items, typical and delicious plus a large selection of dishes, two soups to chose from, salads and many desserts. Furthermore their menu changes every night, so always new dishes to discover. They have a great chef ! The staff is delightful especially the manager Jeffrey who makes sure that his guests are totally happy with everything.

Among my favorite Sri Lanka hotel experiences

This was one of my favorite hotel stays in Sri Lanka. If I could plan trip again, I would have stayed here longer. We stayed in the new building on second floor with balcony looking into jungle. I prefer this over view in other building over pool. The room is contemporary with comfortable bed and furniture. The balcony us a great place to unwind and listen to jungle in evenings. The pool area and restaurant was lovely and tranquil. The food was delicious and service was good. We appreciated that they served wine, beer and cocktails as some locations do not in Sri Lanka. We enjoyed walking the roads outside the hotel grounds through countryside. This location is very convenient for seeing amazing ancient sites and climbing in this region.
