• The Lake
  "Friendly hotel with exceptional value"
  "Myself and a friend stayed here for just one night. The room was comfortable and the location superb, with even the standard room looking out over the lake. The outdoor pool looks right over the lake. All of this for the equivalent of about US$45 (between two). The best bit about The Lake has to..." be the staff. Though we had already checked out, they were extremely flexible in letting us return to use the pool before our evening journey back to Colombo, and really seemed to bend over backwards to make us comfortable - even bringing and ice-cold beer and chilled glasses to the pool. This was very much appreciated after returning sunburned and dehydrated from the ruins. The only slight negative for some people would be the sheer number of lake flies - unavoidable in such a location - which end up all over the shower and even bedding. However, these are harmless and there was no problem with mosquitoes. It would also be good if they extended the WiFi so that it also covered the room... " More >
• The Lake
  "Fantastic"
  "Booked this as a last Minute deal through Agoda. Incredible value at 32$ Including service charges and tax,The hotel has extensive gardens with the swimming pool overlooking the lake, which is one of the most picturesque I've seen in a while. I ate Lake fish with rice and Salad which was delicious a..."nd cost 550 rupee and had 3 scoops of ice cream for 150 rupees and the large bottle of Lion lager where 350 rupees. The decor is in excellent condition with LED TV with a number of English channels. You open door to patio which has seats and a table and you can walk over the grass to the pool in a few seconds. Only downsides are the reception staff seemed to be on training and didn't have a great grasp of English. Waiters were fine, however. At night, there are a lot of lake flies so don't switch your light on, on the patio or else you'll get swarmed. Nothing much that can be done about that, they feed the birds which you'll see plenty of. Location is next to The Village at the bottom... " More >
• Deer Park Hotel
  "High-end place, yet full of personality - RECOMMENDED"
  "Even if described as a "Resort" on the Sri Lanka Lonely Planet, this place is much more than many rooms and buffet breakfast for big tourist groups. In fact, its not one building but many bungalow (or kind of) scattered in an incredible garden which is in fact in front of a big lake (Giritale Tank)...." The rooms are impeccable (I stayed in the "Superior Room" with lake view, which was a blast), and it has two nice pools with waterfall included. The restaurant is excellent and breakfast or dinner in the park next to the pool an experience. The bad part is that its not directly in Polonnaruwa but in Giritale, about 12Km away, so it might be inconvenient if you don't have your own transportation there. Still, tuk-tuks are always around and not a major issue. All in all, excellent choice to chill a couple of days in real luxury, especially if you have a long trip around Sri Lanka on your shoulders. Enjoy! " More >
