Offering an outdoor swimming pool and spa centre, Jetwing Lake is set in Dambulla in the Matale District Region, 6 km from Dambulla Cave Temple. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar. Free private parking is available on site. Do not think that this is a chain hotel or that it looks large and bland. It is actually anything but. The staff are incredibly switched on to customer satisfaction: Tara the GM appeared twice at our table at different times to make sure we had perfection. Our room was large and deliciously cool. The bed was marshmallow comfortable. We relaxed by birdwatching at the lake ( plus recommend the guided birdwatching). Loved the huge pool, played petanque and loved the food. Best breakfast hoppers of our trip and we have sampled more than a few. We called this our big boutique hotel as when the tour groups leave each morning, we had it virtually to ourselves. It is a good base for Dambulla cave temple and Sigiriya. Am very impressed with Jetwing for eco-conscious policies and truly professional customer service.

Guests can choose from 4 restaurants including Makara Restuarant, a contemporary Chinese restaurant and Alaka Restaurant, which serves Sri Lankan meals throughout the day. Guests can also enjoy refreshing cocktails with soothing jazz music at Migara Bar. Everything is great, I strongly recommend.

Situated in Sigiriya, 5.3 km from Sigiriya Rock, NIVADOO RESORT SIGIRIYA features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a restaurant. This 5-star hotel offers room service and free WiFi. Guests can make use of a bar. The resort is very peaceful but within easy reach of Sigiriya, national parks and Dambulla. The food is good and the facilities well maintained. What really makes it is the staff, they are attentive and helpful. We arrived early for check-in and the gentleman on reception ensured our room was ready quickly. They assisted in arranging transfers and trips, all of which were brilliant. Sadly we did not get the names of all the lovely people who looked after us but a special thanks to Wimukthi who was brilliant.
