We were on a business stay, the hotel is breathtaking with a wonderful view from a top of a mountain. The room was large and two storied. The lobby door opened out to the balcony, but the chairs were very uncomfortable. They took about 15 minutes to check us in and check out was even more. The staff was not... More

This is a lovely hotel! the rooms are amazing and we had a great view from the hill overlooking the beautiful scenery of Kandy. Staff were nice and friendly although a bit haphazard at breakfast time. No big deal really as it was busy. The pool is lovely with a nice view again. A lovely relaxing experience altogether. More

Bottom Line: I do not fit the target demographic and the people in the restaurant made it amply clear -- very very disappointing. The horrendous experience was entirely avoidable. I am reminded of Master Shifu in Kung-fu Panda -- "Inner peace !!" So, make sure you fit their target demographic or the trouble ain't worth it. We were here two... More

We only stayed at this hotel for one night during a tour and arrived late in the evening and left early in the morning, I was slightly dreading it after reading some of the reviews but needn't have worried as I wish we could have stayed longer. We were given a junior suite which was fantastic with a king size... More

My wife, daughter and I spent 5 days at Amaya Hills. The really big problem we had was the size of the room. We had upgraded to accomodate 3 people but all that was done was add a twin bed to an already very small room. While the room was nice it was not made to house 3 people. The... More

We only stayed one night so maybe this review is too judgemental. The view from the pool and lobby area of the hotel is breathtaking! The staff are generally polite and helpful. I was quite disappointed with the food and the room since we paid nearly SGD 200 for a room with no view and 2 twin beds put together... More

Pros: the swimming pool, the fitness center which was full of new equipments. Friendly staff and nice welcome. Cons: Not a lot. The hotel would deserve a small refreshment. The road to get there is a little bit difficult to manage. We had a chance to have rooms giving outstanding views on Kandy particularly impressive during a stormy night. More

Really enjoyed our experience here. The beds are a bit stiff (we had a king, which actually happened to be 2 twin beds stuck together...complete with seperate sheets) The bathtubs all need to be replaced as they seemed run down. The bathrooms in general seemed to need a bit of work. Staff was really friendly, no complaints. More

Had a 2 night stay, following 2 nights at the sister Amaya Lakes resort in Dambulla. Boy were we glad when we arrived, the road (?!?) from Kandy city centre is horrendous; extremely bumpy and as we arrived after dark pretty scary in places! Our room, with a view which was pretty spectacular especially when in the midst of a... More
