"Spent one night with spouse and kids, a simple place we found convenient and relaxing. Breakfast and dinner (included in the already modest price) were both a positive surprise (quantity and quality) especially when compared to the neighbouring restaurants (disappointing and expensive).
The hotel is owned by nice and kind folks."
"Nestled amidst Sri Lanka's lush jungle landscape, Heritance Kandalama offers an unparalleled retreat that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff provided a warm and professional welcome, setting the tone for an exceptional stay. The hotel's architectural design, a masterpiece by Geoffrey Bawa, is both innovative and environmentally conscious, blending modern luxury with the beauty of the natural environment. Our room featured panoramic views of the Kandalama Reservoir, allowing us to wake up to the serene sights and sounds of nature. The property boasts three distinct swimming pools, including an infinity pool that appears to merge with the lake, offering breathtaking vistas. Dining at Heritance Kandalama is a culinary delight. The Kanchana Restaurant offers an extensive buffet with a variety of Sri Lankan and international dishes, all while providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Throughout our stay, the staff consistently demonstrated attentiveness and professionalism, ensuring that every aspect of our visit was comfortable and memorable. Heritance Kandalama is more than just a hotel; it's an experience that celebrates the harmony between luxury and nature."
"Kalundewa Retreat has an amazing concept and a beautiful, secluded location that really stands out. The surroundings are peaceful and unique, making it a lovely place to disconnect. That said, there are visible signs of wear and tear in certain areas, and some aspects of property maintenance could be improved.
However, what truly made up for this was the hotel team — their service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was excellent and clearly prepared with care, which added greatly to the overall experience. With better upkeep, this place has the potential to be exceptional."
"Останавливались на 1 ночь. Отель расположен в отделении от основной дороги. Бронировали Deluxe (#101). Большой и чистый номер со всеми удобствами. Комфортная кровать. Прекрасно отдохнули. Отель представляет из себя виллу на несколько номеров. Во дворе есть бассейн, он подсвечивается, поэтому плавать в нём после заката, под звуки джунглей особое удовольствие. Во дворе есть несколько столов, можно захватить с собой еду, напитки и прекрасно провести вечер. Пешком до основной улицы 300 метров. Недалеко есть Pizza Hut с едой на вынос. Особое спасибо обслуживающему персоналу. Девушка на ремень моментально реагировала на любые просьбы, такая зайка. Хорошо говорит на английском. Проблем с общением не возникло. Её коллега при заселении напоил нас свежевыжатым соком. Единственный минус отеля это завтрак. Он скудный: буквально одно яйцо, четыре ломтика хлеба и две маленьких сосиски. Ланкийцы наверное этим наедятся, а вот мне не хватило."
