Eye wateringly expensive ....

This place is really a special retreat. The Chef is excellent ! The Spa unfortunately is breathe-takingly expensive. And virtually of the activities that you go to a retreat like that for are extortionate.. it is a shame as it is truly a unique location

All okay

I found the acoustics pretty poor, the staff very friendly and well trained, what little food I had was quite nice. The location was a little more remote than I bargsained for, so not a criticisim but we aware. It peaceful and excpetionally minimalist and purposefully designed that way for the ayurvidic guests but not my vibe.

We selected this property because of its treatments. When we arrived they mentioned they were just available for the guests that had booked a package. This was shattering for us and very disappointing. The rest of our statly, food and staff was faboulous.

Good hotel, but different

The hotel concept is very nice, and fits to honeymoon vacation. The food was great, the best food I eat in Sri Lanka, the chef, and the restaurant team where helpful, and fit themself to us. The uncomfortable thing is that there is no a/c system in the room, and it’s really hard to sleep with the bugs and mosquitoes that gets into the room. Although it’s hotel that promote wellness, choosing a/c should be the customer choose. Thanks for the all Santani team, made wonderful job.

I loved everything--EVERYTHING--about my stay. The service was outstanding, the view was amazing, and the food was delicious. The staff bent over backwards to make sure I was comfortable and happy. I had some spa treatments, which were fabulous, and the morning and evening yoga sessions were enjoyable, too. The design of the hotel is incredible. It's simple and unpretentious but elegant. Design-wise, it's one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever seen. I can't wait to return.

The whole experience at this hotel is unbelievable! From the moment you arrive you are treated like royalty. A cold towel is given to you upon arrival. Then you are given tea while you wait a moment to talk to the chef about your personalized meals. Yoga, spa services and hiking are readily available. The rooms are amazing and the views are priceless! Worth every dollar. Looking to return soon.

山の上のホテル

細い山道をひたすら行くと現れるホテルは、想像以上の空間でした。宿泊客も限られており、ゆっくりするのに最適です。2泊した方が良いです。 ただ、車酔いしやすい方は気をつけてください。

Among the top places on Earth.

This place is truly a miracle. The resort is an integral part of the nature on the top of the hill. The air, the sound of the nature makes it an ideal place to stay for 1 day or for a year. You can't get enough of it. It is a real treasure.

The hotel is a stunning space. The manager is clearly very hands on and staff is very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent as well. The yoga teacher is very experienced and attentive. It’s rare to find so many things be up to such a good standard in one hotel. I must say the punctuality and service at the spa was not the best, although the rituals and therapists are incredible. Despite some hiccups re, I would recommend and would go again.
