The Glenrock Wellness Nature Resort

The nature and kindness of staff

The restaurant is below expectations although staff was super nice

This small hotel is located in a very nice and remote hilly location next to rice fields and a small stream. What needs to be mentioned as outstanding is the extremely attentive and warm hearted service with 100% good quality. The breakfast was extraordinary and all wishes were taken care of. The team took great care with suggestions of local activities and also guided us for those activities without any extra fees. They also took care of games and small activities with our kids, explaining the local environment with its plants and animals. The kids loved the DIY activities with bamboo and the games. The rooms are very close to nature and you have to be aware that you can hear the stream and cannot switch it off at night... ;-)

The staff were absolutely amazing. We wanted to change our reservation after we arrived, and they made it happen. They are super attentive and friendly. They also offered to pick us up from downhill after our walk to the waterfall.

Paradise for people who are in love with nature, lots of bugs 🐛 squirrels 🐿️ lizards 🦎 monkeys 🐒 natural waterfalls downstairs from your chalet, beautiful views to paddy fields We were upgraded to a beautiful glass chalet with a private access to water stream, very comfy chalet with 2 room balcony and terrace. The manager organized for as trip to nearby waterfall which was a bit of a hike, with our 3 and 5 years old it was an adventure hike ending at the gorgeous waterfall with its own natural pool. We went as well for a village trip with a small temple you can visit. Very delicious breakfast fresh juice fruits and the most delicious string hopped with coconut filling inside 🤤

Nothing really, you just need to be prepared its wildlife resort 😀

Geweldig hotel middenin de natuur. We kregen een gratis upgrade naar een prachtige kamer aan de rivier. We kregen ook per persoon een massage van 45 minuten cadeau. Het personeel is heel beleefd en gastvrij. Ze bieden leuke excursies aan. Wij wilden daar niet weg!

Couldn’t have wished for a better stay! This hotel is set in a truly serene location — every morning we woke to the gentle rush of a nearby stream, the cheerful songs of birds, and an otherwise blissful silence. Room was huge with AC, large bathroom incl. bathtub and a balcony with a breathtaking view. The culinary experience was just as memorable: from hearty Sri Lankan and Western breakfasts to an impressive variety of fish and meat dishes for lunch and dinner. Freshly squeezed juices and beautifully presented fruit platters added the perfect refreshing touch to every meal. The staff were an absolute dream — incredibly helpful, attentive, and offering impeccable service from start to finish including helping us to organise a kayaking trip. They made us feel genuinely cared for. We would recommend this place without hesitation — a perfect 10/10 experience!

As typical in Sri Lanka - no gym available.

The place is a m a z i n g so peaceful and gives back energy. Great staff especially dumi they were so so king and generous to us and gave the most welcome feeling.

Nothing the place is stunning

Good friendly and accommodating staff, who gave us free room upgrades and complimentary spa treatments and one bottle of wine. Beautiful off grid location for the perfect unique getaway.

This is a really special place. Beautifully designed rooms embedded in nature; we were upgraded to the river side lodge which was a treat and a very unique experience as it feels like you're in the middle of the jungle. Spa treatments are excellent, and so is the food (especially the Sri Lankan curry; all made with unique local produce). As other people have said here, the most amazing thing about Glenrock is the people. It is hard to put into words just how attentive they are. Nothing is too much! Dumi took us on a wonderful day trip which gave us a real feel for the area, and from this we learnt a lot about rural Sri Lankan life. When one of us didn't feel well, the care they provided was outstanding. All in all a wonderful experience and we'd love to come back here one day.

It is quite remote and hard to get to, which means you either need to stay local or spend time in a car. It's not really possible to go anywhere else for food etc.
