Truly a once in a lifetime experience staying in this hotel. It is built around the rock face overlooking a lake and you really do feel entirely immersed in the nature. We had monkeys on our balcony as well as in the open corridors on the way to breakfast, we even saw a wild elephant on the island opposite from the lobby, it was incredible! There are also three pools to choose from, my favourite was the infinity one overlooking the lake which was the best view I have ever swam with. The location is great too as a base for the cultural triangle. We did lions rock and an elephant safari one day, on which we saw over 200 wild elephants. The next day we also did the Dambulla cave temple so you can do so much around this location. Wish we could have stayed for longer than the two nights we did to enjoy the hotel itself more as well as all the sites to see in the area. The room was comfortable and clean and the staff were always so helpful and welcoming. The food was amazing with so many choices for breakfast and in the buffet restaurant in the evening.

Heritance Kandalama is a beautiful and unique hotel with a fantastic location, impressive architecture, and several lovely swimming pools. The hotel feels luxurious, and the surroundings make the stay a memorable experience. However, we had booked a room for four people, but when we arrived, there were only beds and towels for three. When we asked for an extra bed for our eight-year-old daughter, the hotel initially wanted to charge us extra. After quite a bit of discussion, they eventually provided the bed at no additional cost, but this should have been arranged in advance when the booking was clearly for four people. Overall, it is a very nice and fairly luxurious hotel, but guests should be prepared for many additional charges. We enjoyed our stay, but the service regarding the room setup could have been better.

Wonderful location for a hotel. Fabulous views. Very good room. Only concern was the number of large groups staying there who dominated the restaurant.
