Family hotels and homes in Kotuwella Pahala

The stay at Vasus and Suriyas place was great. The hospitality was exceptional as well as the food provided. The garden was a treat and the small Dog Cookie very friendly. Thank you so much!

Location, the staff, the nature, the sound of the running river, the kids loved the pool

The right place to land in Sri Lanka:in a colonial building in a pastoral atmosphere and very kind and pleasant and attentive team

What a find this was. Clean modern rooms in beautiful surroundings with a lovely pool. This is the definition of a hidden gem. You simply must eat here in the evening, the food was the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka and generous portions. We saw a wine store as we drove in ( less than 5 mins drive for those interested), when we asked about available drinks the manager offered to drive and get what we wanted. Breakfast was lovely and they even bought a fridge to our room for us to use. There are sun beds and tables and chairs in the grounds so we spent the evening sitting out watching the sun go down over the paddy fields, simply beautiful. If you are looking for somewhere fabulous to stay between Negombo and Sigiria. Look no further. You won’t find better.

The owners it was very clean a great and fantastic food

The super friendly staff, who went out of their way to make our stay memorable (eg when my daughter hurt herself they produced a toy elephant for her to keep, or making different dishes of food because had never tried them). Added to this the very relaxed vibe of the place made it the perfect place to end our holiday.

Casa Heliconia is a true haven for those seeking an escape from the ordinary closer to home. My recent stay was an enchanting experience – the tranquil ambiance from the moment I arrived, the beautifully designed villas that seamlessly blend modern comfort with traditional charm, and the attentive staff who made every moment feel special. The natural beauty that surrounds the property is simply breathtaking, with lush gardens and an open-air dining pavilion that add to the serene atmosphere. The culinary offerings were a delight, showcasing the finest local ingredients and flavors. For a rejuvenating retreat that combines luxury, nature, and genuine hospitality, Casa Heliconia in Gampaha is an absolute gem that I wholeheartedly recommend.

Lovely clean room, personal service and great food

Ruwanara Royal Majestry is by far the best hotel in the Kurunegela district and one of the best in Sri Lanka! It is a hidden gem and I cannot emphasis how much I enjoyed my stayed here !! To start off with the rooms are more specious than you can ever imagine, it is bigger than the photos ! The beds are extremely luxurious and big, the bathroom is so large and you have enough room to store all your toiletries. Next the room itself is equipped with a big wardrobe, iron and ironing boards, mini fridge and even a nice private study area for relaxation or business work. The staff, are the epitome of Sri Lankan hospitality! From the beginning we were made to feel very welcome into this property and with open arms they made our stay the best stay ever ! This is my home away from home and next time I am in Sri Lanka, I will stay here and will be recommending this hotel to all our family and friends as well! Special thanks to Kavindu, Amila, Anura, chef Priyantha for catering to our every need and making us feel like royalty with their treatment !! They were so kind and I will never forget their hospitality as this kind of quality and service is extremely rare to find ! The property itself is tucked away behind some beautiful paddy feels and our room overlooked the most amazing pool which is cleaned daily! The pool itself we have been in several times and it is clean and extremely refreshing on the warmer days. When we weren’t in the pool we were in the comfort of the AC’d hotel room, watching TV or sleeping on the comfy beds. A perfect holiday! Ruwanara is one of a kind and you won’t find a hotel like this anywhere in Sri Lanka or surrounding areas. We saw many magnificent weddings taking place and we learnt it caters up to 450 person weddings and can accomodate guests with rooms as well! I have recommended this hotel to all my family for any of their upcoming weddings as I think the service and location is just perfect !! I cannot wait to be back.
