Our 2 night stay at the Ivy Lake was wonderful. The rooms are super clean, spacious and the friendliness of the staff was the icing on top of the cake, our children loved them! All super friendly and helped us plan trips to the near by sacred city and a safari at competitive prices. They also have an attached outdoor coffee shop type area where you can take your breakfast and meals. They also serve smoothies and very nice coffee. It's super close to the railway (2minute) so this made our travels easier. Highly recommended, no complaints
Returned home last night after a 3 day stay at Green View Resort. We enjoyed the stay. Among the plusses are the excellent service with all smiles offered by the Manager, Ranatunge & his staff, Sanjeewa & Dinesh. The hotel uses the services of Rasika who his own tuk & we were taken to all the historical places which are actually quite nearby to this location. Rasika's fee was very reasonable. The food offered by this resort was pricey but really yummy! Do not forget to place your order for meals well in advance since they don't do short notice. The rooms & linen were very clean. The view, excellent. The pool was small & cute. Very clean with a lovely view & private. On the flip side, I woud advice the management to seriously consider payments though credit cards. Otherwise, one has to carry loads of cash(not adviceable in the present day)if you wish to stay more than one day. The room we stayed in (208)did not have the best of Air Conditioning & Wi Fi coverage, Informed Mr. Ranatunge regarding this. All in all, I would certainly visit again for short stays. Please do not miss out on visiting the Wessagiri Caves which are about 200 m walking distance. Absolutely amazing place with so much history!!!
To echo some of the other positive reviews of this hotel, we had a wonderfully peaceful stay. The rooms were incredibly spacious, and the views from our window were simply breathtaking. We particularly enjoyed the buffet, which had a fantastic selection of food, and the staff went out of their way to be helpful. Although our stay was just for one night, it was memorable. The only downside was the rain, which unfortunately kept us from exploring the beautiful grounds as much as we would have liked.
By far the best room I had in Sri Lanka! The room was so appealing, I felt very comfortable. Clean, everything worked. A small problem in the bathroom was fixed immediately. Less than a five minute walk to a good, but very reasonably priced restaurant.
