    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It provided a delightful experience with comfortable rooms, stunning villas, and excellent facilities. The natural beauty surrounding the property was truly captivating. The buffets for lunch, breakfast, and dinner were not only delicious but also offered panoramic views from the balcony, where I could observe squirrels and birds in the trees. The staff were exceptionally kind and friendly.

    Sitting on forty five acres on the banks of the Kandalama lake, this property is one of the best resorts in the country. The rooms were impeccably clean, the food excellent and the service par excellence.

    Very calm and private boutique hotels. Very comfortable rooms and crew is really helpful. They had some good deals for full board basis. It was not that crowded. Even with less people, they had a full buffet open for all meals. They had only limited types of beer.

    A gem of old world charm with chalets spread around with lovely tree cover. Excellent staff service, good food and a really nice bar. Hotel has been done up during the lockdown and recommended highly for local and international visitors.

    Eco friendly environment. If you wish to spend your vacation in a calm and quiet place I recommended this!. A friendly staff is there and you can spend your vacation in a private cottage. Food is tasty but does not have many varieties. I had a cocktail but it was not up to the standard.

    We were waiting in the lobby for more than 1,5 hours for playing billiard. A group of russians were playing and drinking a lot. Against to the promise of the waiter, we could not play any time, because the russian group were spending a lot of money. Bad experience - money rules in this hotel…

    From the moment we arrived, the staff were very happy and welcoming. The cool towel and watermelon juice made a perfect start to our stay. The facilities and the rooms are stunning. Wandering around the grounds was a beautiful experience in itself. The food and service at breakfast and dinner was great. There are also a couple of places within a short drive for lunch or dinner that were spectacular. So many great sites nearby if you are looking for a base to experience the region. Definitely returning here on our next trip to Sri Lanka.

    Had a very bad experience trying to dine in as a local customer. Tried to get details on the menu, the front office receptionist directed to kitchen saying it’s F&B department. The one who answered from the kitchen wanted to know the authority of calling them despite explaining it’s not a mistake of ours, but the office. Extremely disappointed about the bitter experience they gave us and previously Amaya group was a well maintained group of hotels. Can’t imagine what has gone wrong recently!

    Good variety is there in the dinner buffet including Sri Lankan, Mediterranean and western cuisines. Recommended for a diner outing if you are around Dambulla and it provides best cost with proper value. Their cabana's are great for a family outing and located in a nice environment near the Kandalama Lake. Morning view is awesome. Only thing is you got to be careful as it is located near a jungle area and obviously the environment is not only for us. However they have the electric cars to move between different areas of the hotel so you don't have to be worry when going out at night. I've visited this place first time around 20 years back and visited recently as well. To date they are maintaining their highest standards for visitors.

  • 1/5 RasÎka �. 2 years ago on Google
    Not recommend to visit for local tourists. We came for a checkin around 4.00 pm where as our original checkin was at around 2.00 pm. They kept us in the lobby for more than 2 hour saying that the rooms are still not ready for the checkin. We checked in at 6.30. Front office even didn’t bother to offer the welcome drink for our team where as they offered the welcome drink for foreign tourists even going behind them. Very poor service of Amaya hotels.

    We really enjoyed spending our staycation at amaya Lake. Calm and peaceful environment and if you are looking for a destination with good food friendly staff and to be relaxed I would suggest this would be a perfect match. We think they should be more concerned about the delivery timings from the room service Buffet timings should be extended Overall this is a beautiful destination that anybody will revisit!

    Minus 2 stars for service and cleanliness. Had to ask 3 different people for some water and a coke. Had already finished my first plate of food and had to go to the hostess stand to ask for it again and there I saw my water and coke behind their stand, just sitting there. Very apologetic, but it takes 10 seconds to grab a bottle of water. The ‘dining manager’ took my order and didn’t even come by to say sorry. The next day at breakfast, he went by everyone asking how everything was, but when he saw us, he just said “hi” in passing. As someone in customer service for 10+ years, I felt very disrespected. Room is spacious, but not clean. Shower had grime, tub was dirty. Musky smell as well

    The hotel grounds are huge, with greenery all over on the lake. The rooms are like private small villas. The food is excellent. But the best part is the amazing pool with the pool bar,

    This is the same location ( Amaya Lake) but not a new place. But they have mentioned as a new location on the web purposely. I have been to Amaya Lake previously.I was disappointed when I arrived because I wanted to get a new experience at a new place. Their service and hospitality were okay. There were no issues. They should mention it on the web that both Amaya Lake and Signature are the same hotel. Otherwise there will be no satisfaction for customers to visit the same place twice !
