“The property's location on the Parakrama Reservoir strikes a serene note, as does its in-house Ayurvedic spa; I particularly appreciate the unique treehouse dining experience with its views. While a recent experience suggests possible inconsistency in the buffet, the general manager's attentiveness is frequently mentioned. Ultimately, it's a solid choice for those seeking wellness and cultural exploration in Polonnaruwa.”
