Eraeliya Villas & Gardens

The view

1st night aircon very noisy and dripping water( had to sleep with ear plugs) bathrobe not clean can smell the perfume of previous guest, breakfast chocking , staff doesn’t look happy to work there. I can’t advertise for this place , I WILL NEVER GO BACK I am traveling now for the last 3 weeks and it’s the first time it happens

The house itself is beautiful, and the location is stunning.

This is a very over priced place to stay. The garden rooms are difficult to stay in being dark, poor washing facilities with a sink in a converted cupboard, and overly fussy with bits and pieces. At these prices, smartly turned out staff would offset the immediate sense of the place being run by locals with insufficient understanding of hospitality. The food options are poor, with an expensive menu on offer in US dollars. Towels have to be sought and are past their past for the sunbeds, and drinks have to be chased up too. The supposed tuk-tuk stand outside the property does not exist, and the staff have to ring around to get you transport to Weligama or onwards. Its certainly a hands off place to stay, which could do so much more to impress and get good reviews.
