Sigiriya Retreats

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.

We 3 families traveled round the island for 4 weeks with 3 kids, after Colombo this was a very relaxing and a quite place, the Pool in a open space with natural surrounding was a great touch. The reservation agent Asarangi was a great help in organizing all our room request.They provide only Buffet dinner every night, we would have preferred ' A la Carte" dinner after a long hot day.All in all it was a beautiful location and not far from UNESCo Listed Sigiriya forteress.

Hotel assez important accueillant des groupes donc bruyant. Belle piscine avec vue sur les rizieres. Repas sous forme de buffet correct sans plus mais pas vraiment attrayant. Chambre correcte, personnel agréable mais comme partout au Sri Lanka qui mise sur le tourisme et sait fort bien l'accueillir.

We had a lovely trip at Sigiriya Resort by Thilanka, it was a wonderful experience, my first time there. I enjoyed the peaceful serenity of the property which allowed me to explore and relax. I would like to specifically mention Dilani, front office executive - such a vibrant welcoming personally, the resort is very lucky to have such a delightful ambassador, she made us feel at home and arranged birthday amenities to our friend who was celebrating her birthday. A very special thank you to her x Apart from her, I’d like to mention Dhanushka from F&B and Isuru from house keeping, who were very helpful during our stay. Lastly, I’d like to say that food could be better, especially the quality of food and the presentation of the dining area could be more appealing and complimenting the rest of the hotel. Apart from that everything else was good!

We recently stayed at this hotel, located about a 10-15 minute drive from Dambulla, and had a pleasant experience overall. Set across a large property, the hotel is beautifully nestled in natural Sri Lankan surroundings, providing a tranquil atmosphere. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by friendly staff, who offered refreshing watermelon juice and even a delicate white flower for my daughter—a lovely touch. Check-in was smooth, and our luggage was promptly delivered to our room. Our room was located in the main arrival building, spread across two levels, and was clean, with all the amenities one would expect. Though there was no bath, the shower worked perfectly, and we appreciated the two bottles of water provided each day. We stayed on a bed-and-breakfast basis, and after settling in, we took a dip in the infinity pool, which was never too crowded. One minor downside was the rather loud “disco beats” music played via the PA system during the day. It felt a bit out of place for the relaxing vibe of the hotel. That aside, the staff were always attentive and ready to serve drinks whenever we needed them. Exploring the property further, we discovered guest accommodation at the rear, as well as a scenic walk past a farm and cricket pitch leading to the river. The breakfast buffet was diverse, offering a mix of Western dishes (pastries, waffles, bacon, sausages, and eggs) and Sri Lankan options (curries, rice, and sambol), along with an ample selection of fresh fruit. Tea and coffee were also available. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant on two of our three nights, enjoying a similar buffet with both Western and Sri Lankan dishes. If you’re looking to explore local dining, there’s a restaurant across the road from the hotel where we had a delicious meal one evening—hoppers, egg hoppers, and chicken kottu—all at a fraction of the hotel’s buffet price. Be warned though, the portions are large and the food quite spicy! While there isn’t much to do around the hotel on foot, a short drive or taxi ride to Dambulla opens up more dining and sightseeing options. In the evenings, the disco beats were thankfully replaced by a musician playing a variety of Western classics on a synthesizer and guitar in the bar area, which was a nice way to wind down. Overall, this hotel was an excellent base for our explorations of Dambulla and Polonnaruwa. Apart from the daytime music, we had no major complaints and found it to be a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

Bezocht tijdens een familierondreis door Sri Lanka met in totaal 7 gezinnen; 28 personen. In totaal 3 nachten hier verbleven. Erg fijn hotel. Kamers zijn ruim en schoon. Badkamer iets aan de kleine kant, maar verder prima. Ontbijt- en avondbuffet is goed gevarieerd en erg lekker. In het weekend is het avondbuffet blijkbaar in de tuin van het resort. De bbq was heerlijk en erg sfeervol. De t****e avond (zondag) hadden we helaas pech door (enorme) regen/onweersbuien. De tuin was al piekfijn ingericht, maar alles kon weer naar binnen. Personeel ook hier weer erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Fijn verblijf!
