Deer Park Hotel

Very nice place to stay. Food is good too. Wonder full view.

Top quality hotel, beautiful gardens and pool. Great bar terrace and excellent choice and standard of food.

Very nice hotel over looking a lake with great sunset views from the well designed hotel grounds. The accommodation was of a good standard as were the facilities. The condition of the hotel was generally good.

This place is amazing if you like peace and quiet. Service is excellent and close enough by tuk tuk to everything. Would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to come back again

Beautiful location. Staff is friendly. But value for money s not good. Could have got the same facilities for cheaper price

Staff were friendly and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. The location itself was serene with a wonderful view of the lake from the observation deck. Food was amazing with a wide choice of both local and international cuisine.

A little over-priced - gym was locked (and surrounded by cardboard boxes) [so went for a run down the road, which was actually much better); dinner was good, breakfast was average (lots of cooked to order items - good; but no real juice and poor selection of bread and fruit). Currently they are building several new apartments, but the building work was not intrusive. There was a wedding on the Saturday - loud music made the pool unusable - but could not be heard from the room. And if I am being really picky - we had 2 high quality towels each on the first night, which we would have been happy to keep for another day, but they got changed when the room was cleaned and replaced with one each of a smaller less fluffy one... only a small thing - but irritating nonetheless.

The hotel is set amongst trees and lawns over looking the lake at Giratale. We had a lovely big room next to the pool. Many of the rooms are high up on the hill. There was a tree growing in the semi open air bathroom. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Roy the manager was more than helpful in organising tours to ancient cities and the elephant safari. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

Great, we were treated with respect care and friendly. Rooms were very comfortable and spacy Good food

Very disappointed with our stay at Deer Park. Whilst the setting itself is nice, each building is very close to the next, taking away any feeling of space. The real let-down though was the food situation. Breakfast was the worst we experienced in Sri Lanka in terms of quality and taste. Dinner was a buffet which looked like it had been left out for weeks containing un-appetising food. We order al-la-carte in the end, and half of that appeared to have been assembled for us from the buffet. It would have been OK if there were alternate options anywhere in the vicinity, but you're stuck with just the hotel options food wise. Also, the driver arranged by the hotel wasn't great - a very tired old car and he tried to take us to every shop under the sun on our last day with him...
