This is not hotel on the lake, as it may appear from pics, while some deluxe bungalos overview the lake over local road. This is real hotel in the jungles, very natural and nice! Good design, good management, good food - buffet when a lot of visitors, and ala carte in more intimate moments. You ll need driver and car to travell around, its very reliale and cost about 120$... Car from/to Colombo was 160$ for us (7 hours).. 2-3 days needed to see all places around!
