The staff was extremely friendly and went out of their way to make sure I had a good stay. Unfortunately, it rained the afternoon I was there so didn’t get to enjoy the pool, but it looked great and well kept.

We had a very comfortable stay. The place is not far from the city but nice, quiet and away from the city noise. Also the host was the most accommodating one I have ever met in Sri Lanka. He tried his best to make our stay a relaxed one.

We had an amazing stay! Honey tree has comfy rooms and a beautiful pool and garden. We were incredibly well looked after by the amazing Abey who attended to our every need, cooking us loads of delicious food, arranging bike hire for us at Polonnaruwa ancient city, and even getting a few bottles of Lion beer especially for us after we asked to try some. We couldn't recommend it enough! An absolute gem!

From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The space was spotless, incredibly cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. The host went above and beyond—so kind, respectful, and genuinely welcoming. The morning breakfast was a real treat, full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Without a doubt, this was one of the most memorable and enjoyable stays we’ve ever had.

I only stayed one night at this property but it is a beautiful property with great service. It’s first class all the way. Modern rooms, great staff, amazing views and close to safaris and other activities that one may be interested in. You’ll definitely get your money’s worth at the Lavendish Wild Safari!

Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining.

Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining. At the last stop in Polonnaruwa where you have the temple there was a young man sketching and painting. There was also an older gentleman selling Neem & Jamun tree wood containers and tumblers for keeping water in the night and drinking in the morning Neem for better all over health & Jamun for decreasing blood sugar.

Amazing, smaller national park.

Amazing, smaller national park. More of a wild, intimate experience than it's massively over subscribed cousins. We were in very close contact with a family of elephants, (including baby) for at least 20 mins before another jeep arrived, and then it was only just the two vehicles.

This is a far better place to stay due to the quality of the resort than in Polonnaruwa. A guest could stay here for many days as the ground are huge and relaxing. Pool and spa are kept spotless by a dedicated person that has been doing ot proudly for over 21 years.

The ancient city of Polonnaruwa has a lot to offer to the tourists who want to know about the history of Sri Lanka. It has so many ruins and monuments to view, and especially marvel at the stone crafting abilities of ancient Sri Lankans who have created so many buddhist states and artistic monuments by using rocks. Definitely a trip to add to your bucket list.

Lovely national park, clean, quiet compared to other parks in Sri Lanka. Fairly priced entrance fee, guide joins you on the jeep, but optional to tip them. Ours was superb and pointed out many things we would have missed otherwise.

The ancient ruins are a wonder to visit. Some great knowledgeable guides available. A few crooks about aggressively selling their Tuk Tuk and bicycle hire to be beware of. Our guide was sadly threatened and intimidated by these bullysome men.
