Lovely hotel in great surrounding. Fab infinity pool for Insta worthy pics. The food at the hotel was outstanding and by far the best buffets we had during our trip to Sri Lanka and definitely the best hoppers. The hotel is built into a rock. Some areas felt a little dated in decor and check in was a bit slow but this could be due to the large numbers of people staying at the hotel. The pool boys at the infinity pool were fabulous in helping us take photographs that captured the beauty of the area. The room was lovely and we had a fantastic view of Sigiriya and a jacuzzi with an outside view. Great base for exploring Sigiriya and the Eco elephant safari.

The building’s design is fantastic and the main reason we wanted to stay there. It was built in 1994 and in parts it is starting to show its age. The food selection for dinner and breakfast was good and the taste was fantastic. The staff was friendly and helpful. I recommend taking the Bawa Tour to learn about the building. Another tip if you are a coffee drinker is to get an expresso or a coffee directly from the machine. The coffee from the jug from the food server is pretty weak.
