Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Wonderful luxurious experience in an architectural marvel, perched on a hilltop, with extensive grounds. Top notch food and a good pace. Very good traditional yoga classes and spa. The cabana rooms are very nicely designed and comfortable, with gorgeous views.

Negative: The spa only has a steam room, sauna and hot pool (which wasn't very hot) and could have had more features such as a cold plunge. Most of the staff were lovely, but a few were a bit intrusive. It's not necessary to be asked so many questions, and we were disturbed a few times by the service coming to the door of the room asking to clean the room, do turndown service etc. And calling at us around the side of the balcony is a bit of a violation of privacy. The prices for the spa and activities, are too high, out of line with the room and board rate. We took a tuktuk instead of paying their crazy transfer charges. So they still have some learning to do!

Summary: Generally exquisite with a few small things to improve

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Our stay here was exceptional, the food is second to none, literally michelin star level food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The views of the mountain range from the restaurant is spectacular, we stayed in a Garden View room so were properly nestled in the tress and surrounded by nature. The staff were always ready to help with anything we needed. We did the one free excursion, a walk down to the nearby river where we could swim, we were guided by two very experienced guides who told us all about the nature and animals around. We found a lot of peace staying here, everything was calm, surrounded by nature.

Negative: Santani is in the middle of no where, it is quite a taxi trip to get there. The WiFi can be unreliable but to be honest this just helps to immerse you in the nature. Excursions and Spa treatments here, can be quite expensive.

Summary: An incredible stay

Positive: Great place, great service, wonderful experience. The design is terrific, and they managed to keep the facilities to the essential, offering the highest level of service nonetheless. The staff will assist in everything you could possibly need and the food is simply what the best Sri Lanka can offer, including western dishes if requested.

Negative: Nothing!

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Thr property itself is beautiful and the concept of a wellness retreat in nature is wonderful. The concept and location are perfect for those seeking a nature retreat.

Negative: The soundproofing is completely inadequate for a luxury resort. During our stay in the garden view rooms, we could hear absolutely everything from the neighboring rooms - and I mean EVERYTHING. We could hear guests using the bathroom at night, conversations, and even their breathing. There is absolutely zero privacy, which is unacceptable for a 5-star establishment. This lack of sound insulation completely undermines the peaceful retreat experience that guests are paying premium prices to enjoy. It's impossible to relax and unwind when you're constantly aware of your neighbors' every movement. While the setting and concept are beautiful, the poor soundproofing in the garden view rooms makes it impossible to recommend this property at 5-star prices. For a resort positioning itself as a luxury wellness retreat, basic privacy and quiet should be guaranteed.

Summary: The property has great potential, but significant improvements to room insulation are essential before it can truly deli

Positive: The room was amazing and worth the price. The nature was truly amazing and stunning views of the mountains. The food was very good also.

Negative: We were a little let down by the lack of direction from the staff and felt like for a 5 star resort, we had to ask for too many small things like directions at the spa facility. Overall this was minor and the stay at the resort was a great one.

Summary: A memorable nature retreat for 1-2 nights

Positive: The staff made my boyfriend’s birthday so special. We arrived by tuk tuk (after a few breakdowns) and they even fixed it for us. Turn down service was luxury and the massage was the best I’ve ever had. Once in a lifetime bliss for us and worth event penny. We also loved our waiter who loved rugby and cricket just like us, and took the time to really chat to us.

Negative: You’re in nature, and it can be really loud at night with the humming of the mountain life. It’s quite spectacular but made me a bit paranoid of bugs (we never had any in the room mind you).

Summary: Once in a lifetime
