Very clean and spacious room with a great view over the swimming pool and the garden and mountains The food was delicious and an outstanding breakfast. A mix of oriental and western breakfast options. The staff was super friendly and helpful There was some confusion about the beds for the children but that was also quickly resolved The swimming pool is huge and more than welcome after visiting the temples. We could have stayed much longer

What we liked most: - the feel of a little paradise in the middle of nowhere; - high standards in accomodation: the full teak house with a great veranda was spacious and had excellent airco and an excellent bed - high standards in food and drinks: the buffets of chef Fernando and his brigade are truly excellent; both western and sri lankan food. Very attentive to his guest (as all staff is); specific requests are no problem - high standards in facilities: the gardens are kept nicely, the pool is kept clean, whole range of activities is offered (also for kids) - the staff is very welcoming, friendy and always there to help; they helped us with tours to the Dambulla Cave Temples (10min drive), Sigiriya Rock (15min drive) Minneriya Safari; saw 75+ elephants (40min drive with safari jeep pick-up) and Polonaruwa (90min drive).

The apartment was very spacious and clean. Bed was very comfy and we had all we needed in the bedroom. The staff was very friendly and helpfull. They helped us to rent a scooter what was great as we could go anywhere and come back to that quiet place and relax. It was great place for our last nights in Sri Lanka after a month of travelling. We wish the Cashew Palace amazing season! Stay busy!

Our recent stay at Sky Forest Habarana was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived until the day we reluctantly checked out, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility and beauty that left us in awe. Sky Forest is an oasis tucked away in the heart of nature. The location couldn't be more perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat. Surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of birdsong, we felt a world away from the stresses of daily life while still being close to the region's top attractions. The staff at Sky Forest are exceptional in every way. Their genuine warmth and dedication to guest satisfaction were evident throughout our stay. A special shout-out to Mr : " Duminda" at the front desk, who made sure all our needs were met promptly and with a smile. The entire team deserves praise for their professionalism and hospitality. The resort's restaurant is a culinary delight. Every meal was a feast for the senses. From traditional Sri Lankan dishes bursting with flavor to international options prepared to perfection, the dining experience here is one to remember. The chef's talent truly shines. The value we received for the price we paid exceeded our expectations. Sky Forest offers an unparalleled experience, and every dollar spent was an investment in unforgettable memories. Sky Forest is a true gem in the heart of Sri Lanka. It's a place where nature's beauty and luxury meet seamlessly. From the idyllic setting to the top-notch service, every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a heavenly escape, this resort should be at the top of your list. We can't wait to return to Sky Forest to experience its magic once again. Thank you for a perfect stay!

My stay at this luxury Ayurveda Resort in Sigirya, Sri Lanka brought back the deeper connection with nature itself. The Ayurveda treatments at the Resort was exceptional and the Doctor was able to identify my doshas and work on a detox programme for me and all the meals were customized. The team at Ayugiri was excellent and friendly and supportive during my wellness holiday in Sri Lanka. The best part of my stay was seeing the wild elephants roaming about freely.

All was amazing, the hotel is so beautiful, the room was great, bathroom is huge and the garden with the pool is stunning! It's very chic and quiet. The best was that the hotel is very luxurious with a lot of charm but the prices of the restaurant and the spa are reasonable so you can really enjoy your stay! And the staff was really helpful, we really loved our stay there!
