Atha Resort

Stayed two nights, three couples and each of us had slightly different rooms - we overlooked the pool; another the gardens and a third upstairs overlooking gardens. This resort is eco friendly and so well thought out. The staff were amazing - so helpful and always checking everything was okay. Rooms were not large and a bit dark because of the wood paneling; the bathroom was small but a large shower- could do worth a shelf for putting your belongings on but not a major. Breakfast was huge and cooked freshly for you. We had dinner there both nights and it was fabulous- fresh flavors with produce from their own gardens. Hat a little house that roamed around the property! Pool not big but perfectly adequate - not a lot of seating around it.

Another great find as a base near Dambulla, Polenuwana, Pidurangala and Sigriya. The hotel is open for 2 years and the staff are great. Very attentive and can't do enough for you. The site is built off the grass floor with boardwalks between the front desk, the pool (beautiful) and the lodges. There are a couple of lodges out further into the ground behind the hotel where you can see wildlife better, maybe even an elephant, but quite rare. The beds are very comfortable and air con fantastic. You have a balcony on the bedroom with a hall to a wardrobe and modern toilet. Would recommend if you are happy to be a little off the main road. Not safely walkable in the dark but can get a tuk tuk for around 500 rupees (£1.25 or less to the main strip). At breakfast we were served by Navindur who was very courteous and helpful. Ishan the manager was also very attentive to everyone and very kind. All in all a great stop in Sigiriya.

Struttura molto elegante e tranquilla. Il personale è molto disponibile a soddisfare ogni esigenza. Tutti estremamente gentili e disponibili anche a scambiare due parole dimostrandosi curiosi verso ospiti che vengono da lontano, tutto con la tipica eleganza e riservatezza asiatica. Le camere sono dei piccoli cottage molto curati, la pulizia delle aree comuni comincia la mattina presto e prosegue tutto il giorno con la massima cura. L’esperienza al ristorante interno è stata ottima sia per la varietà dei piatti che per la qualità di quanto proposto. L’offerta era ampia e le quantità tipiche dell’isola, decisamente abbondanti. Piscina disponibile 24 ore il giorno in un ambiente che permette il massimo relax. Una struttura che permette di godere di una qualità superiore alla media a prezzi decisamente accessibili.
