Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: We had a fantastic week at the Sleeping Elephant Resort, a family of 5 in one villa and one bungalow. The accommodation is new, very clean and really spacious. The feel is of a small, high quality resort that’s secluded, with the gardens providing privacy and a beautiful setting. The beach is incredibly picturesque and we pretty much had it to ourselves. We ate at the restaurant for most meals and the food was great. The local curry dishes were the highlight. There are a number of other restaurants nearby along the beach. Above all though what made the stay so special was the service and attentiveness. John and Adela were incredibly helpful and booked us transport, a safari and trips to Ella, the bird sanctuary at Hambantota and to Hiriketiya beach and turtle beach at Dikwella on our way back to Galle. All of the trips were excellent and we had a perfect mix of relaxation and experiences for the kids and adults. Every member of staff was really welcoming and helpful. We’d absolutely recommend the Sleeping Elephant.
Negative: Nothing.
Summary: A wonderful week being incredibly well looked after and a great way to relax an to explore southern Sri Lanka.
