    Nice place surrounding with nature. We were there for 3 nights (FB) . Room has good space with small balcony. they always ignore some small things, because of that this resort is not in the world standards. head shower of the bathroom 90% blocked. hand shower also partially blocked. no any shelf inside the bath area. have to keep soap & shampoo on the floor Food was delicious but some meals dose not served with buffet. They gave us exactly same menu for two breakfast and two dinner. cutlery arrangements also not in the standard. just there are same size 3 set of spoon / forks on the table. They are not announcing any description about food before served. There are 25m pool. Pool was nice but chlorine level is bit high. One night so noisy because of some party. No one to get complain because front desk was closed

    Dinner and breakfast buffets consist with only few food varieties. So this is not a good place If you are looking for a entertaining meal with your family. Some rooms have king size beds made with two twin size mattresses(really difficult for two to enjoy their stay and staff there didn't took any actions to make it correct even after request). For the lunch you will be asked to visit another place around 8km away from the hotel(however they arrange the lunch at the hotel on *multiple request). Can't recommend at all🤮.

    Top value for the price. But NO for food. Staff was friendly and supportive. Good location with a huge garden to chill. Rooms had a small balcony and generally a well planned structure. But not satisfied with meals. We had 5 meals at the hotel. 2 breakfasts were fine. But 1 lunch and 2 Dinners had almost the same buffet. Chef's favourites are White Rice, Vegetable Biryani, Noodles, potato wedges and Vegetable soup. Dessert only had Jelly and fruits. If there is an option, go for the set menu. At least you can order some variance. I saw few reviews mentioning the same issue regarding food. If you are planning a stay, I would advice to keep em informed that you are expecting better buffet. 😁

    Absolutely loved my stay at Tropical Life Resort in Dambulla! The breathtaking paddle field view and the mesmerizing peacock dance created a serene atmosphere. The delicious food and excellent service made my experience truly memorable. I recommend this resort for a tranquil getaway!

    The staff at this hotel are thieves. AVOID!!! We actually really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and thought the grounds and room were lovely. Sadly that’s where it ended. We were only here for one night to visit Sigiriya and left at 5am in the morning for sunrise. There was no one around except us, a security guard and our tour guide. When we returned later that morning, we found that someone had been in our room and had been through all our bags and luggage. They’d even eaten so of the food we had on the side. We checked our belongings and it didn’t appear that anything had been taken, but still report it to our guide and reception as we felt so violated. The manager tried to claim that we’d left a window open and that a monkey must have got in, but we did not! They said they’d check the CCTV cameras and later came back to say the found nothing. On arrival back home to the UK I turned my phone on to an alert from my bank to say that 3 suspicious transactions were made on my credit card and it had been blocked. It turns out that they’d stolen my credit and I hadn’t noticed! Thankfully the bank acted quickly and they didn’t get any money. Our tour company contacted the hotel again and they reported this time that the CCTV that day was not working, funnily enough! Now this has been placed in the hands of the tourist police. If you decide to stay here, keep your valuables with you at all times!!!

    I stayed one day on full board basis at this hotel Pros 1. Hotel is clean and tidy 2. Meals are delicious and average amount of varieties were there. 3. Swimming pool was clean and tidy. 4. There is a farm inside the hotel and you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables for a fair price. 5. Environment is very scenic and Eco friendly. 6. Friendly staff Cons 1. No welcome drink, evening tea/coffee or refreshments provided on admission to the hotel. 2. There was one hour power cut during our stay and there was no generator facilities for a backup power supply. 3. There was no shelf or any holder to keep soap, shower gel etc inside the shower area. 4. No towels provided at the pool, even we asked for several times. 5. Small car park is available at the outside of the hotel. You have to park your vehicle at the outside of the hotel either at car park or at the road. We parked it on the road. 6. The body lotion cream provided at the wash room had a bad smell on it. (May be expired) 7. Nothing available in the mini bar of the room. Refrigerator was empty. 8. In the evening and night, out side (balcony area) is full of mosquitoes. 9. Wifi connection is bit slow. Maximum download speed was 750-1000 Kbps

    We stayed at Tropical Life for 2nights and had a great time. Rooms are spacious. Staff were friendly and ready to assist. Shame we weren’t able to get the name of the receptionist who assisted us(he was a bit thin and had short hair) but he was fantastic- we approached him if he could assist with transportation to Kandy, he was on it and we got a response pretty quickly too. Ended up with a network of drivers who drove us all over sri lanka for the rest of our trip. Property has a very nice pool and good pool bar menu. Great dinner buffet. Highly recommend this accommodation in Dambulla.

    We stayed at this hotel for two nights, and everything was perfect. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed. Our bags were promptly taken and placed in the rooms, and we were offered a refreshing drink and a cold towel. The staff is incredibly polite and friendly. The ambiance is beautiful, with well-maintained surroundings, and the rooms are clean. Thank you so much!

    Nice hotel with a perfect natural surrounding. One of the best place to relax near Dambulla. The best thing we noticed was the food and it was delicious and had few varieties as well. Rooms are spacious. There are few areas need to be improved. Overall we had a memorable stay.

  • 5/5 Virada E. 7 months ago on Google
    I must say, this resort was one of the most memorable during our trip to Sri Lanka! The staff were accommodating and highly attentive from the moment we entered until the moment my family departed. The rooms were very clean, and I thoroughly enjoyed the food spreads as well. It is a nice and quiet escape but quite close to other attractions too! Overall, would recommend and definitely will be back!

    Resort is situated in calm and quite unspoiled surrounding with around 25acre beautifully landscaped garden. Most attractive is the pool immersed in a lake in the center of the resort. They have organic large farm which feed to resort and we were bring their and nicely explained by farm supervisor Mr. Chandrasena. Food and accommodation is excellent with friendly and supportive staff.

    Was very pleasant stay. Cleaned rooms, cleaned every day. Food I would say average, mostly spicy food. I was missing eggs for breakfast. Very nice pool and was possible to agree with personnel to use it out of opened hours. The personnel was really nice.

    Beautiful resort near the Sigiriya Lion Rock, service is timely and hospitable. Rooms and entire premises are clean, well-maintained and picturesque. One can take strolls around the resort, a dip at the pool and breakfast & dinner were delectable. Bathrooms are heavenly!

  • 5/5 Mayantha M. 7 months ago on Google
    I had an absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel with my family. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by the staff. The room was not just great, it was immaculate, comfortable, and beautifully designed. The attention to detail was remarkable. The food served at the hotel's restaurant was a culinary delight. Every meal was a with a fantastic taste. And also what truly sets this hotel apart is the staff. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, always with a smile and genuine friendliness. I can't recommend this hotel enough. It's not just a place to stay; it's an unforgettable experience of luxury, comfort, and exceptional service..

    It's not a huge property......it's fairly ok.The rooms structurally are very average with a balcony that does not boast of a view. The amenities in the room were disappointing.....the bed linen was almost wet.....the glass doors had a gap for insect entry..... The food spread though was lavish....and what variety.....and all good. The pool also was enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Ravindu P. 1 year ago on Google
    The Location is very calm and relax. Hotel facilities are good. Food the is very tasty and well prepared. Recommended Pork Curry. 😉 Only concern was the service staff and needs to improve on service. All others are good. That was due to service waiters didn't gave us and not aware to serve hot water for kids but later Manager who was incharge sorted and helped us. Thank You!

  • 3/5 Ravindu P. 1 year ago on Google
    Compared to previous visit in August 2022 on yesterday, food was not tasty. Standard has dropped drastically and needs to find reasons mostly impacted may be due to increase of cost in food. Pork curry was the best as usual other than that things were not good compaired to last time. Desserts didn't had much variety. May be they have revised the menues. Service standards also dropped a bit. Hope they will provide the best service like previous times.

    If you are hiking the Dahaiyagala Rock you can come and have your meals here. You can have a day-out packages offered by the hotel as well for a reasonable price.

  • 5/5 chamathka t. 1 year ago on Google
    We have visited the hotel last week and stay was fantastic. Staff was very much friendly and helpful. Rooms were cleaned and having a nice view on paddy field area and Dambulla Cave temple also visible to room's balcony. Foods are tasty and even buffet was there, they are flexible for some alternations like baby foods for kids with no extra cost. They have many outdoor activities and farm visit is interesting where most of hotel fruits and vegetables seek from there. Definitely visit next time.

Every staff like guards, receptionist, housekeeping all are smiling faces, very well mannered and extended every possible support & service that was required. One of the best hotel. Looking forward to stay again and avail their hospitality. 🙂

  • 1/5 Chandana P. 1 year ago on Google
    I reserved TWO rooms in Tropical Life Resort & Spa, Dambulla. Hotels are instructed to pay 50% total cost for any kind of reservations. But most hotels reserve rooms without any payment. Some hotels charge a very reasonable amount to confirm the reservation. But Tropical Life Resort & Spa requested 50% advance one month before staying there. STUPID management.

    One of the best resort I have visited till now. The receptionists were really helpful and friendly.Great staff who knew how to serve the customer.The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The view of the sunset from that point was mesmerizing. Yes, it's a ten-minute walk from the beach, but the serenity of the property is incredible. You can hear the sound of the sea and nothing else. Very peaceful, good gazebo, lovely pool and the food! Honestly, the food was a pleasant surprise.Definitely worth a staycation, with your loved ones and to catch up on some reading.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at Tropical Life Resort & Spa in Dambulla, and it was truly an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the lush, tropical surroundings and the warm, welcoming hospitality of the staff. The accommodations themselves were spacious, comfortable, and beautifully designed, with every detail carefully considered to ensure a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The resort's pool and spa facilities were also a highlight of my trip, providing the perfect place to unwind and soak up the natural beauty of the area. What really stood out, though, was the level of service provided by the staff. From the personalized attention at check-in to the thoughtful recommendations for local activities and dining options, I felt truly cared for and valued as a guest. The team went above and beyond to make sure that all of my needs were met, and I left feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and eager to return. Overall, I would highly recommend Tropical Life Resort & Spa Dambulla to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable vacation experience. The location, accommodations, and service were all outstanding, and I can't wait to visit again in the future.

    We had a one-night stay on a full board basis here on 16/12/23, and it was awesome!! The food was delicious, with a decent spread for the buffet. Even the food from set menu was soo good!
