This resort spa is such a beautiful place to unwind, surrounded by nature with stunning views of rice fields and mountains. The rooms are spacious and situated in a mango grove, providing a tranquil sanctuary. While the dining options were tasty, there could be a bit more variety to choose from. Overall, it's excellent value for money with the luxury villas offering a wonderful experience.

I had a wonderful and relaxing stay at this lovely resort. The setting among paddy fields and mango trees is serene and beautiful, with plenty of wildlife to enjoy. The room was clean and comfortable, although there were some outdated features. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience top-notch. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, especially at breakfast, and the pool area could use better maintenance.

I had a lovely three-night stay at the hotel, which had a beautiful setting and friendly, helpful staff. The room I stayed in was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and I enjoyed relaxing by the excellent pool. However, the dining experience could improve as the wine was quite pricey, and the breakfast spread was somewhat limited and not well covered from flies.

I had a rather unpleasant experience at this hotel. While the surroundings are beautiful, the accommodation and service left much to be desired. I encountered multiple issues with cleanliness and the staff's honesty, making it a less-than-ideal stay. However, the beautiful grounds do offer a nice backdrop.

Rooms

The first room I was shown was not clean at all and had several maintenance issues, but after moving to a villa, it was larger and in the newer part of the complex. However, it still wasn't really clean.

My stay at Sigiriana Resort was absolutely revitalising! The staff were incredibly humble and hardworking, making us feel at home. The location was perfect, with beautiful views of mango trees and paddy fields, though the rooms were a bit average. The dining experience was exceptional, with diverse and flavourful food. Overall, it was a blissful experience, but having the rooms a bit far away from the main amenities was the only downside.
