### Recent Guest Reviews
- **Rima Aridi** (5/5 via Google): " The hotel is truly magical." - From the moment we were picked up in a safari jeep for the 20-minute drive into the forest, we knew this was going to be a special experience. The journey itself set the tone—lush greenery, fresh air, and a sense of adventure. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a refreshing traditional Pappaya drink, a meaningful gesture that instantly made us feel at home.

The hotel is truly magical, surrounded by nature yet offering complete comfort. Everything was impeccably clean, and safety was never a concern. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect—friendly, warm, and always attentive.

The food was simply outstanding, with every meal tasting fresh and carefully prepared. Whether it was breakfast with birds chirping in the background or dinner under the stars, every bite felt like a celebration of flavors.
- **Esther Leewue** (5/5 via Google): "The most beautiful resort in Sri Lanka." - The most beautiful resort in Sri Lanka with lots of activities and a beautiful view of the jungle and their animals. The room was very clean and their homemade cooking is superb. But the best part is the hospitality of the manager and his staff. We lost our phone during our stay in a tuk tuk and they truly went out of their way to help find it back. And after a small accident they brought us to the hospital and let us stay the whole afternoon after check out in the room.

- ** Ronald Boerkamp** (5/5 via Google): "The staff is truly amazing" - We had a wonderful stay of 2 days at Wanakaset. The Glamping offers a couple of rooms with a view over the jungle. It has one room with a 180 degree view over the jungle. Same view is there one story down from the joint room below. What a view, the birds and monkeys are around you. We had fun when the monkeys were playing at and in the pond.

The staff is truly amazing. They offered me a coffee early morning while i was up early for birdwatching. They serve vegetarian local meals which are prepared with ingredients from the jungle.

If you can get over the luxury of a swimming pool and a menucard, then this is an excellent spot to relax and enjoy nature.
