This were one of the best holidays in my lifetime. Thank you so much, all of the SOL team! (January 2024) Hotel: The Resort is a paradise with very nice rooms and a wonderful, flowering pleasure ground. All buildings are harmoniously integrated in the gardens and everything is very well maintained. You see the love for nature and harmony in all arrangements. Almost every day I discovered new lovable details. The atmosphere is pleasant and familiar. That´s because the resort is small (only 19 beds) and because all staff members are very kind, competent and helpful. I experienced that everybody (management, houseceeping, service, maintenance, ...) was commited to make the guests´ stays as recreative and convinient as possible. Food: The Chef, Manuhara, is extraordinary - simply said, he provides gourmet cuisine. Even without the ayurvedic treatment, I would have enjoyed the high quality vegan food. The dishes not only were ALWAYS delicous but also were arranged aesthetically and rich in variety. A feast for all senses! And surprisingly, I missed nothing, although in my ereyday life I like to eat cheese and meat. Ayurvedic Treatment: The ayurvedic doctors are highly professional and are always accessible for questions and requests. They explain what they are doing and at least one time every day they asked how we were and we had a consultaion if needed or wished. The treatments were prescribed according to the ayurvedic typology, and adjusted to complaints and recovery process. All therapists were very competent and empathic. Obviously, the most experienced therapists, like Nishanti and Wasanthi, provided awsome massages and oil treatments like shirodara or different vastis. But also the the less expirienced therapists treated us masterfully and effective. The resort and the ayurvedic treatment is highly recommendable.
Dis is the second time i have been to dis place n it felt amazing n relaxed as ever. The property is nice, pristine n kept very tidy by its owner Mr. Suresh who is more than eager to attend to ur call if u ever need his attention, n not to forget the lovely garden surrounding the property. Located in the suburbs of Colombo called Nugegoda, rather a short distance from the main town which is well connected by public transport, it gives u an ambience of a village in the town. U have Lots of sprawling eateries around serving Authentic local, Indian n chinese cuisine. Der r lots of cafe's to hang around as well. It will be jus an understatement of sorts if I say dat both times I had a very pleasant stay n it is most likely my permanent address wenever i happen to b in Colombo.
We visited as a family of 7, including 2 kids. Chandana, the host, was very accommodating to our needs and went out of his way to make our stay pleasant. The place had a backpacker retreat type setting with Boho themes. The place is clean and well kept but appears to be a bit old, so expect the usual quirks of older homes. Parking is available for small cars only. Larger vehicles would need to park at the top of the cul-de-sac by the arterial lane. Overall, it was a positive experience.
