Apartments in Palugaswewa

"Stay was amazing at Gabaa! Friendly and available staff via WhatsApp, easy to order food to the room for all meals. The room was very clean and modestly stocked, which was perfect for a short stay. It was a short tuk or pick me call from local restaurants, and easy to book tours through the hotel. The cabins were super cute and felt like a nice escape! They allowed me to check out later to accommodate a spa reservation, and a bit later check out due to a tour running later than planned. Not too much for a hassle to update and arrange via WhatsApp. The food was good, did the job since the restaurants were a bit of a far walk on a rainy weekend, but delivery to the room was perfect and so easy. The adjoining spa was also AMAZING and I would highly recommend that as a "do not miss" aspect of the property. Would highly recommend a stay here and looking forward to coming back! "

"Amazing oasis of tranquility. You will not be disappointed "

"Much nicer than photos show! The pool surrounds and bar area were lovely, perfectly framing Sigiriya Rock. The dining area and breakfast was excellent. The bed was comfortable. The shower was a little awkward to negotiate but overall fine. Staff were very friendly. "

"We stayed in 4 hotels across Sri Lanka on our trip and this was by far the very best hotel we visited. It is such beautiful accommodation, thoughtfully designed. It's clean, modern, safe and you feeling totally immersed in the forest/jungle. The staff were beyond polite and helpful, always greeting us warmly - especially those in the dining area. The food was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka, very authentic, catered to our needs (gluten free - even with gf bread) and so tasty. We would highly recommend this Taru Villas to anyone visiting. Also well located for Sigiriya (for the rock) and Minneriya Park (for the elephants). Thank you!"

"Had the most amazing four night say at Vil Uyana. From the moment we arrived, greeted with a blue water lilly each - a nice touch - to our departure, the stay was a delight. Immediately out chalet was upgraded to a waterside property and we were introduced to our personal butler Prasanna who went out of his way to make our stay a delight, including serving us at breakfast and our evening meal, and showing us round the hotel organic farm where they source much of the ingredients for the wonderful meals in the restaurant situated above the lake. All the staff, including the lovely Dilshani who also served our table were so friendly and welcoming at every turn. Our ‘chalet’ was so comfortable and roomy we couldn’t believe it and staff came twice a day to service the room. We also took advantage of the hotel naturalist staff and enjoyed a birdwatching trip and a night time walk around the estate searching for the Loris who live there. Importantly for us the sustainability of the project is impeccable with as much use of local materials and as possible and a genuine commitment to sustainability. We were also keen to use local Sri Lankan hotels and guesthouses on our trip and Jetwings is just that, employing and training local people, especially young people and women ‘returners’. Brilliant!"

"Excellent and attentive staff, clean rooms, friendly service. Included breakfast was a nice local meal."

"Gorgeous hotel in a beautiful setting. In the middle of the forest, this is a hidden little gem, with lovely spacious clean rooms, exceptionally friendly staff, and a luxury lodge like feel! It was out of season, so the hotel was quite quiet, and we had the pool to ourselves. I imagine this is the perfect spa retreat in peak season! "

"Wow, this place is absolutely amazing and beautiful, with so much wildlife right at your doorstep! You can see elephants, monkeys, peacocks, and tons more. The hotel staff were fantastic too. I’d definitely come back and stay here again. It’s such a beautiful hotel!"

"Building and setting were lively but the comunal areas were lacking in atmosphere. There was no nice area for evening drinks which was disappointing."
