Athena Lake by Seedevi

lovely swimming pool

Very Clean rooms, exceptional staff, good looking pool that we did not have time to use, property was spacious and well maintained

The pool, the service and the rooms were wonderful!

Great little oasis in the jungle. Staff is very helpful and accommodating. Had wonderful dinner out on the lawn, was worried about bugs, but was good, loved hearing the sounds of the jungle around us.

The distance from Sigiriya rock is a bit far and the road to the hotel turns to a single dirt road. Did like the entrance has a gate that is closed at night. Our room was great, only negative thing is the bathroom roof allows you to hear the noises from the shared room next door. The bedroom this was not an issue.

Excellent and attentive service. Great food. Quiet and pleasant.

All the staff was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating to many requests. The property is like a little tropical paradise where you can spot many different birds and little animals.

Athena Lake provides comfortable accommodation, a terrific staff, nice food and wonderful pool near Dambulla. It is a good base for visits to ancient sites (Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and Sigirya Lion Rock) plus safaris to Minneriya National Park, but is a little hard to find, along a gravel road. We loved relaxing at the pool after busy sightseeing but would have been happier if our roof was more brightly illuminated.

Check in was done very smoothly by a courteous and friendly front desk. Actually, since there are only six rooms in this boutique hotel the staff are not overloaded and are very friendly and courteous. We never had an opportunity to complain. The grounds lead down to the lake but one cannot walk right up to the lake because of the undergrowth. The pathway should be cleared up so that one can walk right up to the water's edge. A paddle boat would be a good idea as the remoteness of the hotel offers no other avenue to stretch one's legs except to take a walk to the village.

The stay in this hotel was excellent and I have to thank the staff for making our stay very comfortable. The food was superb and the pool was impeccable. The rooms were very clean and well kept. This hotel is probably the best we stayed at during our vacation in Sri Lanka because of the staff. I highly recommend staying here!!!
