W15 Hanthana Estate is an elegant bungalow set within beautiful grounds. The accommodation is really comfortable and the views are stunning. Equally importantly the staff are exceptionally welcoming and enthusiastic about making your stay comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to learn about and experience the Sri Lankan food and natural world. Special mention must go to Eraj and Manjula who were excellent at looking after us throughout our 6 night stay. We couldn't have felt more important, our comfort and happiness was clearly important to them. Also executive chef, Viraj who spent a lot of time with guests to make sure they were enjoying their stay and getting the food they enjoyed. We experienced many different types of Sri Lankan dishes, as well as more western dishes. The produce was beautifully presented and fresh and tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a Sri Lankan cookery demonstration led very proficiently by chef Madushanka. Banuka, the nature ranger was so enthusiastic to share his knowledge of the local area with us and other guests during the jeep safari and hiking trips. Suragna did an excellent job of keeping our room comfortable and clean, and was so respectful. I also book a massage and facial with Udani, a visiting therapist. There is not a permanent spa at the hotel but a table will be set up in a vacant room or your own. This is the only extra cost. She performed a bit of a miracle with her deep tissue facial. I looked years younger afterwards. There are of course other people on the W15 who we didn't know so well, in the kitchen and gardens front office. Sorry not to mention them by name. But the important thing to say is each person we met had a warm smile of welcome and was doing a very good job of keeping the hotel looking gorgeous and guests feeling happy. The all inclusive was very generous. We ate and drank far more than we needed. There were Chilean wines, Australian sparkling wine, cocktails, beers and spirits. A decent coffee was available and a good tea menu.
