Uga Ulagalla - Anuradhapura

Beautiful experience, expansive grounds, great staff and food. A real experience!!

Nothing

A luxurious property set in acres of scenic grounds. We enjoyed using our bikes to explore the property and after cooled off in our plunge pool. The rooms were very comfortable and well well proportioned. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Food and wine was extremely expensive for what they were , e.g a $10 Chilean Merlot marked up to $60 and a $20 NZ Marlborough marked up to $150 . The “special dining experience” was a $200 curry rice meal with one drink , total rip off

What made our stay really memorable is the staff, from front desk agents, to waiters at the restaurants, to the guys driving us around with buggies, to people servicing our room. They have been amazingly kind and hospitable with us. It is difficult to pick one in particular, but if we have to name one we would say Kusal, who on our last day came especially to pick us from the lake and drove us back to the reception. Not only he gave us a small tour but also told us lots of interesting facts about the fishermen and the animals living in the area around the lak

Beautiful place. Isolated from the town but the location is beautiful. You can ride bike around the rice field and lake. If you’re lucky see an elephant. The woman at the elephant centre was very nice and we learnt a lot! I am glad we stop for a chat. The diner experience was amazing! We booked the traditional diner with 27 dishes cooked traditionally in clay pot and open fire. I recommend this hotel!

Everything was perfect - the main mansion house is gorgeous, our pool villa was massive and nuzzled in a lovely quiet party of the estate where we benefitted from privacy and the sounds of the nature around us. Food was fantastic as was service. We went on an amazing horse ride into the lake, our guide took the best pictures!

The breakfast was excellent with several juice smoothie options. Their Eggs Ulagalla were fabulous. The breads and pastries were also excellent.

Having to take a buggy back and forth to the room wasn't ideal and yet it was not a problem either. The cost of the activities seemed high and accordingly I did not avail myself of them.

Well maintained and perfectly clean. Staff attentive. Safari with Shaku was an outstanding experience from start to finish.

The breakfast was nice but I think I would have preferred buffet style breakfast.
