Lunuganga By Teardrop Hotels

The Full Breakfast was the best of my trip, excellent, beautifully cooked and so tasty. The dinner menu is quite varied but we chose the Sri Lankan curry which was really delicious. The pre dinner free gin and tonics served in the gardens looking out at the amazing view as the sun began to set were superb!! The whole place is just dreamy, a real experience. Being a bird lover there were so many different species, and their sounds, so tropical! The knowledgeable staff member Suneth helped with pointing out and identifying birds for me. The guided garden tour on arrival was so interesting, and then afterwards being able to wander around knowing the history of each particular garden area was very beneficial. The atmosphere of this property and its gardens is truly magical!

I thought that the twin beds in the Gatehouse were old and not to the standard they should be. My view is that they need to be replaced with new more comfortable ones. Also the room felt and smelt damp, and the bathroom needs more privacy, ie its surrounding wall needs to go up to the ceiling!! Overall I think this particular room definitely needs careful renovating making it more comfortable but retaining some of its quirky features.

I loved staying at Lunuganga and experiencing the wonderful house, buildings, garden and history of Geoffrey Bawa. It's truly a unique experience in a unique house and garden.

At check out, I was asked to complete a comment card with 16 questions and comments requested. I said I would complete the online review and reassured them that all was good and I enjoyed my stay. I was already dealing with the next part of my trip and check out. In the following 30 minutes before I left Lunuganga, i was presured strongly by 3 further staff to complete and return this comment card,.I again said I would do the review online. This negative experience in the last 30 minutes of my stay unfortunately leaves a bad memory, and after such an enjoyable stay it was a shame.

History, location and interior design of the facility as well as the choice of food and the friendliness of the staff.
