An absolute gem of a place! Right on a beautiful serene lake, lots of wildlife running about, the breakfast was delicious. Thilki & Malata along with the rest of the staffs were wonderful, always helpful, thank you for your exceptional services. We had the BEST time!

I had an excellent experience with my stay in Amaya, a beautiful place to relax and yummy buffet breakfast with many regional food to choose. The room was definitely the biggest I’ve ever been and very clean. I would definitely recommend and come back again

The room is so big and amazing. It's a luxurious experience at a price of more than 800. The scenery in the courtyard is beautiful and you don't want to leave. The courtyard is very large. You need a shuttle bus to go to and from the restaurant. The car was sent quickly after calling. I really should stay a few more days. I have recommended it

The scenery of the hotel is the most beautiful on this trip, and every frame is a painting. The facilities in the room are old, and the bedding only has sheets and pillows. The blanket is in the closet, and you need to call the front desk to send the quilt. There is a band at dinner, and the atmosphere is very good.

The environment is great!
Great!
The room is a bit old
It smells damp
It's mainly because there are too many monkeys and we can't open the doors and windows
It's uncomfortable to be stuffy inside😭

It was such a wonderful hotel that I would like to stay there again.
The grounds were spacious, with cottages surrounded by greenery, and there were monkeys and birds. It's along the lake, so the scenery is beautiful.
The bathtub valve was broken so the hot water ran out quickly, the food took a long time to arrive, and there was not much variety in breakfast,
but they prepared lunch boxes for us early in the morning when we asked, which was very helpful, and the staff at the front desk and in the restaurant were very kind. There was also a group of Japanese guests there.

The environment is first-class, the service is attentive, and there are groups of monkeys running around when you open the door. The hardware facilities are poor, no slippers are provided, there are no screens, there are mosquitoes when the windows are opened, and there is a peculiar smell when the windows are not opened.

The location is great, but the shower was not hot and the WLAN signal was too weak to pick up so I had to call the front desk 4 times to get it fixed.

The location is too remote, and it is inconvenient to go out. You can only take a tuk-tuk, which is twice the price of pickme, and you need to pay extra tips to the driver. The food is not suitable for people who eat Chinese food, but other aspects are good.

The hotel is located by a beautiful lake, with shady trees and flocks of egrets. It is intoxicating. The breakfast is very good. It is the most satisfying hotel in this trip to Lanka.

Very good environment and beautiful scenery. It is also better to go out. The quality and taste of the food are also very good. very unique. The single bed in the parent-child room is too small. Especially the toilet seat in the bathroom is yellow. It really brings the hotel down a lot.

The property is beautiful with breathtaking views if the lake. The food was good and excellent service. Want to call out Rithu who served us at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. The room wasn’t very great as there was no view and very closed. But all in all a great stay!

This is a huge resort property with individual bungalows. Ours was large and clean. It is a hike to the bungalows so mobility impaired folks would need assistance. The property is by the lake with nice sunset views. It looked like boats were available but I don't know if you needed to pay extra or have a boatsmate. There were bikes available but we didn't feel the roads were safe to ride on. There is also a nice playground for kids. The pool is lovely and the pool staff attentive. Because this is a large property, it's buffet dining. The staff tries to keep up but it seemed like it was always quite a wait to get drinks. The offerings change daily and they are extensive. However, we found the execution often lacking. The beef, chicken, and pork dishes had very tough meat. The beef Wellington had soggy crust and dried out tough meat. The pasta sauces were very bland. In general, the food seemed under seasoned. The dessert area always had a beautiful array of tasty desserts. The hotel went all out for Christmas activities and the garden area looked lovely with all the holiday lights.
Response from Property: Dear Jeri F, Thank you for your detailed feedback about your stay with us. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the spacious bungalows, stunning lake views, and festive Christmas activities. Your comments regarding the food quality and service are greatly appreciated, and we will address these areas to enhance the guest experience. We hope to welcome you back in the future and provide an even better stay. Best regards, Team Amaya Lake
