The food was good. Food was made for us even on the chef’s night off and it was delicious! The most outstanding thing about Il Frangipane, besides the wonderful blue tiled pool, was the attentiveness of the staff. Genuinely nice.

The hotel was lovely, great views from the pool and for breakfast. The rooms were large and the bed really comfy. Staff couldn’t be more helpful and the breakfast spread was a yummy touch.

Booked half board staying in one of the Sigiriya wing deluxe rooms. Fifth visit and happy to say that service was as exceptional as it was on all previous visits. Low season meant perhaps the dinner did not have the 'themed' evenings I remember from previous high season stays but there was still a large choice to suit all tastes. Pools were quiet and there were very few children. Great to see the diverse wildlife in the grounds. Elephants were regular and pleased to see the variety of birds, bats and amphibians are still present. Staff all go the extra mile and it was a pleasure to reacquaint with some that I've met over the last 20 years. This hotel remains my favourite in Sri Lanka.

It is a brand new family run Hotel in an ideal location, very close to the Sigiriya Lion Rock. The rock is visible from the hotel! Lovely owner/ family were very attentive to all our requests. They even arranged a superb safari for us on request. Very safe for solo/ female travellers as well. Mr. Asanka deserves special mention as the chef. His Sri Lankan dishes are a must try! Well worth the price! Will definitely come back!

We love this place. The rooms are very big and nicely prepared. The stuff is amazing, almost nothing is a problem. The kitchen is very delicious so we have breakfast/lunch/dinner here. Definitely worth it. They also arrange for us the trip to safari and to Sigiriya rock. The Sigiriya place is a little bit overcrowded, but still it's a nice tour. I appreciate the pool in the garden and the hight trees here (they cooling the place so you can be by the pool anytime of the day. Its 10 out of 10 place.

Lovely location in the middle of the wilderness, the wooden cabins are super cozy and has everything you might need. Staff is super friendly, felt really welcomed there. Reception lady was really helpful and gave a good tips for our stay. The pool outside its a huge plus, as you can refresh there anytime you want, after long hikes in Sigiriya.

    We had a wonderful stay, especially on such short notice! Nimal and his team went the extra mile to ensure we were looked after. The villa was incredible, placing you right in the centre of nature and on each walk to the restaurant, we saw beautiful birds and even a peacock! My wife and I were both treated to the famous Sri Lankan hospitality, as mentioned by our friends who visited this beautiful country and hats off to the chef for producing mouthwatering food! The chef even taught us how to make pol roti, a delicious breakfast item in Sri Lanka. We wish we booked more days as the resort offers so much! We will certainly recommend this beautiful resort to our friends and even come back here. Thanks, Wild Grass team for the memorable stay!

    Beautiful hotel with exceptional staff. A special thank you to our naturalist Noel, with whom we did three wonderful tours (an incredible elephant safari, an educational and interesting trip to Lion’s Rock, and a cool hike to Pidurangala Rock). Noel constantly went above the call of duty and is a massive asset to the hotel. A special word of thanks also to our attentive and punctual porter, Sasika, who took great care of us. Thank you to the whole Water Garden Sigiriya team for making our first trip to Sri Lanka so memorable - we will return!

    There is so much more to do in this area than I realised. I will definitely come back. The area is beautiful and we were sad to leave. We dud Pidurangala Rock which was fun, more of an adventurous climb than Lions Rock. It has incredible views of Lions Rock. We also did a safari in Minneriya National Park. The park was beautiful and we saw so many elephants plus lots of varieties of birds, golden jackals, monkees, mongoose, the grizzled giant squirrel, buffalo and jungle foul. We also went to Dambula Temple Caves which is very spiritual and Luckgrove Spice Gardens which was an incredible experience. Highly recommend this area.

    We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

    A beautiful place on earth that there are lots of 360 degree view points. But if it rains it will ruin your plans. So make sure you depend on weatherly and visit Matale when it shows many continuous sunny days. Even on cloudy forecasts do not visit as all mointain tops then will be covered and you will not see the sights. when it is humid leaches also will be active and will become a painful experience.

    A nice hike to view a breathe taking view. If anyone should travel to Sigiriya they should start to climb the rock at 5.30am as the ticket counters open. Wearing proper hiking or workout clothes would be the best.

    Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.

    Mainly there are 10-12 attractions in Matale. As I just stayed one day which was not sufficient to visit all the places. Among them where I went were also hampered due to the rain at time to time. Generally Matele was quit good tourist destination if it is planned well with couple of days.

    Sigiriya is stunning and has a lovely village charm to it, compared to the tourist/backpacker mecca that is Ella. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from but it somehow doesn't detract and Sigiriya still feels very local and true to SL values.
