Amaara Forest Hotel Sigiriya

地點在郊區的小路上，晚上到的，拐來拐去半天才找到。服務人員都很親切，酒店內也很大，房間設施一般般，主要是以户外為主，清早我們出去找動物，但是沒多少，主要是森林和鳥。尼甘布和希吉利耶應該都是較小的城市，排名靠前的酒店設施還比較原始，主打户外親近自然。

コテージからフロントやレストランへの道が、土のため、歩きづらい。もう少し工夫が必要と思う。

シギリヤロックの観光のために2泊しましたが、広い森の中に佇む素敵なリゾートホテルでした。 お部屋はコテージ風の二階建てで、私達の部屋は1階でした。上の階の人たちの足音が朝の4時過ぎからドタバタ聞こえてきたのがうるさかったのと、排水口の匂いが気になりましたが、ご飯は美味しかった（朝食はあまり変わりばえしませんでしたが）のと、爽やかな風が通るプールの前のレストランで気持ち良く食べられたのが良かったです。近くにレストランもなかったので夕食もつけましたが、一泊目はアラカルトメニューから選び、二泊目はビュッフェでカレーとデザートが豊富でした。二日目、ネットワーク障害で１日Wi-Fiが使えず困りましたが、翌朝には直りました。 スタッフの方も皆さん親切で笑顔で感じよかったです。ホテルが人里離れた所のため、シギリヤロックまでの往復と、ピドゥランガラまでの往復のトゥクトゥクをホテルに頼んでアレンジしてもらいましたが、2回とも4800ルビーと言われました。2日とも同じドライバーさんが来て、良い青年でしたが、この価格はその辺りで捕まえるトゥクトゥクに比べるとだいぶ高いと地元のガイドさんが驚いていましたので、利用される方はお気をつけください。

全てにおいてパーフェクト

Dear Readers, 1. I and my wife stayed in this resort for one night (Check In 10 Dec 2024 & Check Out 11 Dec 2024). 2. I had booked this hotel through Ms CEYLO TRAVELS,COLOMBO as one destination out of our 14 nights itinerary to Sri Lanka. 3. It was quite a disappointing experience since this hotel was offered to us a 4-Star hotel by Ms CEYLO TRAVELS. 4. It is very highly overrated as is seen from the previous reviews in contrast to the standard of ambience ,hospitality, amenities and choice/quality of meals. 5. Good Points, a. The hotel is situated in a jungle like serene environment. The sounds of birds can be heard in the morning/evening. b. The hotel has a nice swimming pool which is located next to the restaurant. 6. Bad Points. a. The rooms have a dampness in the air and are not aired regularly and properly. b. The standard of toiletaries in the washroom was very substandard. c. The room and the washroom does not adequate lighting arrangement. d. The hotel does not have laundry services which is a normal amenity expected in a 4 Star hotel/resort. e. The hotel provides only two 500 ml mineral water bottles for one night stay. The extra water bottles asked for by us were levied at DOUBLE the MRP listed on the water bottle which is violative of legal provisions. 7. Standard of Food. a. The standard of food in terms of quality and choice was extremely limited and very minimalistic for vegetarians like us. b. We had to be contended with items like Dal,Curd and plain rice. c. The standard of bakery items was highly substandard. d. The standard of service was also not upto the mark. e. The variety/quality has NO comparison with the one we came across at Hotels like Trinco Blu beach resort at Tricomalee merely one day ago on 09 Dec 2024 and at Mandara Resort, Mirissa later on 15 Dec 2024. 8. Summary. A. This jungle resort is a 3-star standard and is highly overrated in the reviews. I assume the visitors don't have patience and inclination to write a thorough, comprehensive and realistic review. B. I would also admit that I had made a huge mistake by booking my 14 nights tour to Sri Lanka through Ms CEYLO TRAVELS,COLOMBO. This company is into excessive profiteering and is making a fool of the Foreigner Customers like us after taking 10% advance before reaching Sri Lanka and collecting balance 90% in CASH (USD or INR) immediately on arrival at Colombo. C. I would therefore suggest that the Foreigners especially Indians MUST not use the services of this company which is looting its customers in a systematic and organised manner, knowing fully well that it will be very difficult and highly un- economical for a foreigner to sue them on the Sri Lankan soil.

The property is located within a forest and has good ambience and surroundings. But thats it. Probably due to low occupancy, the rooms have damp smell, and it’s suggested to leave doors open for fresh air to get in. They are quite tight with breakfast. We asked for a takeaway as we had an early morning climb to Sirigiya. The takeaway contained one hardboiled egg, croissant, sausage, a piece of cake and two slices of pineapple and a banana. As we finished early we returned to have the typical sri lankan delicacies. However they insisted on an extra charge. It surprised me as the restaurant was literally empty. We never experienced this condition wt other hotels.
