Our room was extremely clean and that seems to be rare in Sri Lanka. There was no humidity marks at all in our room. The outside pool area is just so beautiful. The pool is super clean, went for a great swim. The property is surrounded by rice fields and has plenty of wildlife.The rooms are a little out dated but thats ok since everything else is great and clean. Plenty of workers trimming plants and cleaning property. Breakfast buffet also was great. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

I stayed at Lake Park Hotel for two nights, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The food was excellent, and the boat ride organized by the hotel was a highlight—well worth the money! The rooms were comfortable and offered stunning views of the lake, making the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

The quality and dedication of the staff, from the lady at the front desk, to the young man who saw after me and especially to the manager, Shiyam Chamilsha. He went over and beyond to address my many requests and regularly checked in with me to see that I was comfortable and whether i needed anything. Any requests/concerns I had were addressed within a couple of minutes. He made sure that he and one of his staff would be available for breakfast if I happened to be needing breakfast earlier than 7am. The grounds are kept very clean, and the pool is really nicely done; it is beautifully lit at night. My room was simple but large and clean, and so was the bathroom. I enjoyed the food there, and they served a good breakfast. Going back to Shiyam, he made sure that I had food that agreed with me and never hesitated in modifying the menu or the dish to fit my special diet. I had to shorten my stay by one day, and he and the front desk had no issue with it. I offered to pay for the night anyway, but they declined. They arranged safe transportation for me to my next stay over, and, later, Shiyam checked that I had arrived well. In short, I do recommend this hotel.

You are treated like family from the owners. Even I had an Ayurvedic massage and herbal bath wich I recommend highly. Even it was a big room the AC cooled down the room fast.

    Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining. At the last stop in Polonnaruwa where you have the temple there was a young man sketching and painting. There was also an older gentleman selling Neem & Jamun tree wood containers and tumblers for keeping water in the night and drinking in the morning Neem for better all over health & Jamun for decreasing blood sugar.

    Amazing, smaller national park. More of a wild, intimate experience than it's massively over subscribed cousins. We were in very close contact with a family of elephants, (including baby) for at least 20 mins before another jeep arrived, and then it was only just the two vehicles.

    The ancient city of Polonnaruwa has a lot to offer to the tourists who want to know about the history of Sri Lanka. It has so many ruins and monuments to view, and especially marvel at the stone crafting abilities of ancient Sri Lankans who have created so many buddhist states and artistic monuments by using rocks. Definitely a trip to add to your bucket list.
