I cannot understand how some travelers do not rate this place. Compared to some of the other 3 star hotels that we stayed at around Sri Lanka this resort deserves 4 stars. Ok its not the Marriot- but it more than met our standards. We stayed one night, went toTrincomalee and then came back for a second night. Why ?... More

They received us with refreshments. The room was super big, nice terrace, very quiet and peaceful. The diner/breakfast were good and the staff friendly. Which is not always the case in Sri Lanka. Nice place to relax after a visit of the cultural triangle.

We stayed here for 1 night as part of our organised tour. The family room (we are a family of 4) consisted of 3 beds, which seems to be the norm for Sri Lanka and was fine for night stop over. The room was clean but basic. The swimming pool was good size and the evening/breakfast buffet was good. It's... More

We stayed hier for 3 nights (30.12.2012-02.01.2013). The hotel is centrally located for visiting all the major sites like Dambulla, Sigirya, Aukana... The room we got was located on the second floor. It was very spacious and clean. The hotel is rather far from the city center and you need a car to get there. The food at the buffet... More

Pelwehera Village Resort was a last minute find (on the day we arrived!) and what a blessing it was. We stayed in a room on the ground floor in the newer wing for 3 nights, facing some paddy fields. The room itself was basic but reasonably modern, spacious and comfortable. It was equipped with a TV with some cable channels,... More

Whilst we actually prefer smaller establishments to stay this was a very good choice of hotel for visiting the area. A medium size modern hotel situated just off the main road down to Dambulla with a pool. One or two small shops nearby to buy water. We stayed here for 3 nights in February as a base for visiting Sigiriya,... More

Our stay was a rather damp one - it poured down for the 2 days we were here which rather detracted from the hotel. The pool looked nice but we never used it due to the weather. Our room was pretty basic - but OK (furniture old fashioned). The bathroom was big albeit a bit tired - however plenty of... More

We were welcome with a refresher towel and a drink. Room was clean and big, so was the toilet. Staff were polite and very attentive. Negatives were dinner was served at 7.30pm which I thought was too late and walking to the restaurant along the uncovered footpath in the rain was not pleasant either. we stayed in a ground floor...
