Sigiriya Retreats

Fabulous resort right in heart of everything. Stunning resort overlooking rice paddy fields and jungle so serene Food here is outstanding especially the buffet for dinner. A fabulous time for us to come from Sydney /Australia to escape our winter and explore this amazing country

Quiet and nice hotel right next to rice fields and gardens. We had a lovely stay at the hotel and really enjoyed the great pool. Our room was basic. The breakfast was good and there was a selection of different dishes at the buffet (curry, egg dishes, fruit, pancakes,...). Our highlight here was the view. The only thing that was a bit of a shame is that the hotel advertises activities such as yoga, tennis or cricket, but none of these were available.

Really disappointed with our stay here. Staff very unattentive unlike other places and not the usual Sri Lankan warmth we have experienced. Room nice enough but really lacking any kind of warmth and soul to this place. Food was just awful - buffet style like sitting in a canteen. Open from 7:30-9:00 we arrived at 8:00 there was nothing left on the salad bar and most of the hot food dishes were low too. Desserts completely tasteless. They need to sort the dining facilities out here.

Our stay was terrible and extremely disappointing. Don’t be misled by the photos they’ve published. We booked a villa, and it was in horrible condition. The doors couldn’t be locked, allowing mosquitoes to enter through broken areas. Cleanliness was nonexistent, the bathroom showers were broken, and the hot water didn’t work properly. The plunge pool was out of order, the chairs in the room were broken, and the TV didn’t work despite multiple requests to fix it. We also asked to be moved to another villa, but they refused to accommodate us. Save your money and time—this place is not worth it.
