My stay at Ulagalla was absolutely unforgettable! The resort provided everything we needed for a perfect family getaway, from a stunning villa nestled in the jungle to a plethora of activities for everyone to enjoy. The private plunge pool was a highlight, and watching wildlife from our balcony was truly magical. However, I did notice that some of the dining options could be a bit pricey, especially the Sri Lanka banquet. Overall, it was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend!

My stay at the charming country plantation resort was absolutely delightful. The staff were warmly welcoming, and the cottages were beautifully furnished and impeccably clean.
