STUPID RECEPTIONIST

Reviewed By dulithamqs

It was my second visit. We had a great time at Kodigahawewa back in 2019. During that time, the Coordinator “Mahesh” was a friendly guy who worked hard to fulfill our requirements. Last week, we visited the facility again thanks to Mahesh and his service we had back in 2019. The experience we had when we checked out was horrible. It was a crazy receptionist who didn't know how to respect visitors. As far as I understand, she is acting over the owner and doing whatever she pleases, even ignoring orders from the top management. The other staff, however, were really helpful. I would not recommend visiting Kodigahawewa as I am sure that the STUPID RECEPTIONIST will ruin your vacation.

Exceptional

Reviewed By 461normanj

The accommodation was beautiful, convenient. The hosts arranged the safari for us at a very good price and even prepared lunch and breakfast to take on the the safari. The safari itself was a great experience and we saw 5 leopards, 4 elephants, a crocodile, many peacocks and lots of monkey. What we particularly liked is that our driver was trying to find the spots with less people and often went in a different direction as the “hurds” of other jeeps. Nonetheless we spotted even more animals than some of the other safari guests that we talked to during lunch. Definitely go to La safari Inn and ask them to arrange everything!!

Reviewed By S8771HWstephens

The Villa is similar to the other in Bentota. Very quiet and tranquil. Ideal base for safari. There are a number of restaurants nearby however the Villa does offer meals with a decent menu range. Only minor drawback was the level of housekeeping was not as good as Bentota Villa however we had a good relaxing stay

Ekho Safari Tissa

A rejuvenating waterfront retreat- EKHO Safari occupies a prime position in Tissamaharama. Scenically located by the ancient Tissa Lake, the property provides undisturbed views of the lake and beyond. EKHO safari traces its roots back when it started operation in 1967, now restored to a comfortable and beautifully laid lake view hotel. All 47 deluxe rooms and 3 suites are completed with modern comforts and overlook the tranquil lake. Wake up to watch the flurry of early morning bird activity and take a dip in the pool for a refreshing start to the day. Remember to try out the local favourite, “Kalu Dodol” made to the age old recipe of Tissamaharama.

a little mess

Reviewed By luciamY5425DZ

We were staying in the tree house. It is not a very spacious room, but it is original. Meals and breakfast are not abundant, not bad, but I think it were one of the worst during our three week stay in Sri Lanka. The staff does not speak English fluently and communication was messy, so there were some service mistakes. The landscape is quite beautiful, right in front of the lake and with a pool to cool off. The staff did not wear a mask all the time and they had to be told to wear it in the heat of the wave of covid in the country and with the confinement of the population.

Leaves absolutely nothing to be desired

Reviewed By Rita A

We spent three nights here, loved it so much, we would have liked to stay much longer. The whole compound emanates a wonderful calm and serenity, is very tastefully designed, the pool area across the little village street very inviting, clean, and set in a lush green garden. The Lake is right next to My Village, inviting for beautiful walks with the most spectacular bird sightings! Breakast and dinner were a feast, including fruit and desert. I recommend the set of curries! Yummy! Last but not all least is the staff. Mr. Justin runs the show in a perfectly unpretentious, professional, and warm manner and treats the junior staff with same respect as the guests. We booked our one-day safari through him and I am very glad we did. He packed us a lovely breakfast and lunch and our driver Mr. Paty went out of his way to make sure we had a spectacular day. One recommendation: book only a half- day tour. You cannot leave the vehicle at all except during lunch break and it is rather long to be crammed in the vehicle for 12 hours. And even in half a day you get to see eveything there is to see. Borrow the bikes which are available for free and ride around the lakes and temples. Great fun and very relaxing activity!
