I spent two nights at the Pearl White Residency hotel with my entire family. The hotel room is exceptionally modern and well-maintained, with immaculate cleanliness. Mr. Sisira was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. From the welcome drink to checkout, everything was customized to meet our requests and the weather conditions. The food was delicious and catered to our preferences. He is very friendly and accommodating, providing recommendations for places to visit around Polonnaruwa and sharing his knowledge, which made our stay even more memorable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful stay near the Polonnaruwa pilgrimage sites.

The host, Mina, is exceptionally kind. She wants all her guests to be happy, comfortable and 'well feed'!!! Her cooking is also exceptional. The accommodation is simple, in a good way. I can well understand why people stay longer. Others become life-long friends. I hope to be one of these. A wonderful experience.

Kithmi was the highlight of our trip! It felt like home from the moment we arrived. Hemantha and his sister were amazing hosts, they helped us with every little detail of our stay and cooked delicious food. We told them we love local breakfasts and then the following mornings they cooked us hoppers and dal etc. so if you like it local make sure you say so! WiFi was excellent and AC was perfect. Room very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the monkeys! Weather was lovely in July. If you’re short on time you could do Pollonaruwa in one day. The ancient city tour in the morning 8-12 and then safari (Mineriya or Kaudulla) in the afternoon 1-6. Not too much else to do in the area aside from reading and eating good local food. Highly recommend this place and we would visit again!

The hotel is the best located in the city, just on the lake perfect for mature lovers who will see plenty of birds and maybe some elephants if you are lucky. The hotel manager is extremely nice and ready to help you for anything you may need. Nice room directly on the lake and breakfast

we felt very welcomed every day the table for us was placed in the garden; always fresh flowers the hotel has an interesting architectural concept with imitation of local ruins style: dark terracotta bricks, moon stones... very calm atmosphere, even with events there were no noise at all we were very exited to see Sri Lankan wedding in the hotel, all that beautiful guests like a bunch of colourful flowers. I was totally amused seeing bride invitation Kandyan dance, thanks to the hotel team who kindly invited us to see it, I appreciate it a lot the place is well managed; Mr Buwa is very professional and reliable manager, we felt cared about

The property is one of the best ones I have ever stayed in Sri Lanka. You feel luxurious as soon as you enter in, where the staff welcomes you to light up the oil to feel at home. The hotel has also kept the nature around, building houses around trees and including them in the design. It looks like a town village where you can go around and discover new and beautiful corners at every step. There is even a bathtub facing the lake of Giritale and you can enjoy a bath with an incredible view. The staff is super helpful and the food was delicious! We had buffet dinner there and we enjoyed every plate. The breakfast was also really delicious!

Clean, Comfortable, and Family-Friendly – Just Like Our Own Home Our stay at Honey Tree Polonnaruwa was wonderful! The pool was crystal clear and even had a safe area for small children. With only six rooms, the atmosphere was quiet and private — perhaps the only hotel in Polonnaruwa with a pool for such a small number of guests. The rooms were very comfortable, the food was delicious, and the staff were warm and welcoming. Excellent value for money!

Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining.

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.

I want to stay a bit longer there, as the place is naturally very peaceful. On the way, we stopped at a restaurant near a lake, which is also a good place to touch the nature. Luckily, we saw a wild elephant wandering in the lake from that place. On the way back from Minneyriya, we saw two wild elephants who were trying to cross the road. Lovely to see them from the car. A person who loves to see elephants should go Minneriya.

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.

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.
