*Dear "Pearl White Residency -Polonnaruwa"* I wanted to provide feedback on my recent stay at your hotel with my family on March 04, 2025. Overall, I had a wonderful stay with my family, and it was an amazing experience. The full area was very calm and we were so relaxed. I was surprised really about your property and how amazing place that it was located. That made my day, honestly. I had visited your city several times and stayed in numerous hotels within your property range, but I could not find another property that gave us with the services you did. The check-in process went smoothly, and the staff were nice and accommodating. My room was very clean and comfortable. The food was delicious, and everything was really clean. The food quality was so good. Some dishes were excellent. The breakfast options were extremely good, and we had, like, enjoyed a lot. I mean, everything was better than we expected in a good way. I appreciate your efforts in making our stay enjoyable, and I hope this feedback will help you improve your services. I look forward to visiting your hotel again and experiencing all the other changes that you are planning to do in the future.

Seyara felt like a home away from home from the moment we arrived. The owner of Seyara is funny and kind, and he helped us arrange activities and solve the challenges we had during our stay.

The staff where all amazing and helpful, food was delicious, the rooms were very comfortable and the pool was perfect with lots of wildlife inside the garden surrounding the pool.The owner arranged for us to rent bikes that easily took us to the most beautiful places. We strongly recommend this resort, and we can't wait to come back.

This property is beautifully situated in front of a serene paddy field, often visited by peacocks. The room was clean and well-maintained, with a charmingly landscaped garden at the back. The property itself is thoughtfully designed, offering a peaceful and calm atmosphere. The owner was incredibly supportive and attentive, ensuring everything was perfect during our stay. It’s also ideally located, with easy access to all the attractions in Polonnaruwa, just a short distance away. We highly recommend this property for a tranquil and enjoyable stay—we absolutely loved it!

    The staff was amazing. Specially the boys from restaurant. They were really kind to us. We were late for the breakfast on the day we went on the safari they waited us to come and finish breakfast. I really think the hotel owner should give them an increment. Food was delicious. We had some clothing to get washed. I gave them around 8.00 in the morning. I received all back washed, dried, ironed and folded by 12.30. very kind people including the reception. The hotel arranged us the safari for a reasonable price. The driver was the most kind safari driver I have ever met. We have been to other places too. But didn't meet a person who care for the animals this much. Had the best day. Thank you.

    Exception place, I loved everything, nearest town is 12km away so some may find it quiet but for me it was perfect. The staff were great, and the chef was able to cater for 2 dietary requirements. Food portions are huge and room large and comfortable. Swimming pool warm and clean, just wear t-shirt or wet suit top if a lady to be respectful. It was an amazing experience

    As soon as we arrived after a long day of traveling the hosts brought us some welcome drinks. The pool was amazing and had some drinks while relaxing there. We did not feel like going out for dinner and the owners cooked us an amazing meal! We had some nice conversations and this was probably one of the best stays we’ve had in all our time in Sri Lanka. Thanks again!

    Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining. At the last stop in Polonnaruwa where you have the temple there was a young man sketching and painting. There was also an older gentleman selling Neem & Jamun tree wood containers and tumblers for keeping water in the night and drinking in the morning Neem for better all over health & Jamun for decreasing blood sugar.

    Amazing, smaller national park. More of a wild, intimate experience than it's massively over subscribed cousins. We were in very close contact with a family of elephants, (including baby) for at least 20 mins before another jeep arrived, and then it was only just the two vehicles.

    This is a far better place to stay due to the quality of the resort than in Polonnaruwa. A guest could stay here for many days as the ground are huge and relaxing. Pool and spa are kept spotless by a dedicated person that has been doing ot proudly for over 21 years.

    The ancient city of Polonnaruwa has a lot to offer to the tourists who want to know about the history of Sri Lanka. It has so many ruins and monuments to view, and especially marvel at the stone crafting abilities of ancient Sri Lankans who have created so many buddhist states and artistic monuments by using rocks. Definitely a trip to add to your bucket list.

    Lovely national park, clean, quiet compared to other parks in Sri Lanka. Fairly priced entrance fee, guide joins you on the jeep, but optional to tip them. Ours was superb and pointed out many things we would have missed otherwise.

    The ancient ruins are a wonder to visit. Some great knowledgeable guides available. A few crooks about aggressively selling their Tuk Tuk and bicycle hire to be beware of. Our guide was sadly threatened and intimidated by these bullysome men.
