We liked everything about our stay at hotel Heladiv. the staff was very friendly and helpful. the pool was very refreshing. Everything for our excursions was well arranged and we received a good guide as a tuk tuk driver. Rooms are spacious, beds comfortable, clean sanitary facilities. The food was also tasty.

The staff were an exceptionally nice family. Helped with everything starting with a welcome drink and ending by hailing our bus down to the next town. They also arranged our safari for the cheapest price we had come by, with an excellent guide.

The host was very welcoming and attentive to our requests. The room was very clean including the sheets and towels. As the names says, this villa is located at the edge of the forest in a calm and serene environment which we really loved. Also, it is conveniently located just 10 mins by car from the main sightseeing spots (sacred city) at Anuradhapura. Highly recommended if you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing and cozy stay.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Chaya is very friendly and helpful with arranging tours/anything else you might need during your stay. She is also a very good cook ;) The room was very clean, with good A/C, and the Wifi worked really well from the kitchen area (didn't work as well from the room we were staying in, but this wasn't a problem). Would highly recommend anyone to stay here!

    This became our favourite hotel out of all the hotels we stayed during this journey. It was a great time for us during the two nights we stayed in this hotel. It's an echo friendly, sustainable, nature loving hotel with immense of activities to enjoy whilst your stay. Fabulous staff starting from the cleaning staff in the garden, security (third party), bell desk, waiters, cooks, chefs, room service, housekeeping, laundry staff, and management everyone amazing. Very helpful, more generous, and always willing to do their job beyond the expected level. Really appreciated. Some of them were exceptional; Asitha, Lilanga, Melani, Chamara, Ranjith, Dananjya, Nalini, Senaratne, Sugath, Sumith, Thakshila and room services boy. Accommodation: We stayed at "Tamarind" a superior suite. Only two of these for the hotel. It was kind of a small home for us. Had lots of space. King Bed was superb. Interior decoration was excellent. Charm colours and antique type furniture combination makes a vibrant look for this gorgeous suite. Outside couch was ideal for relaxing tea over the lake view. Bathroom is massive and it has a great view of the lake. 2 shower cubicles, Jacuzzi, 01 toilet, 02 vanities, and this comes with full set of amenities. Restaurant: Fabulous food with real authentic taste. A very good selection. every time we go there we spent lots of time talking to people and most of the time meal hours are over and we were still having meal. Short walk To Cinnamon Village: Can play on the swing, tree house, and jump on a kayak for a lake tour (at a cost LKR2000 per person). Pool - It's right next to the restaurant. Organic farm and butterfly garden: plan a small walk to the organic farm and see the butterflies on the way

    The welcome and the service that we received were exceptional - unrivalled by any other hotel visited during three weeks in Sri Lanka. The staff were genuinely happy that we were their guest, and they were not afraid to show it. From the moment we arrived, they did everything and more to make sure that we were comfortable. The central courtyard garden lent the hotel an idyllic cosy community feel and allowed us to feel nicely isolated from the bustle of the streets outside. The pool area was scenic, the pool functional, and there were a bunch of sun beds from which to capture the sun as it moved above the tree line. One of us fell ill during our stay. The manager offered to take us to the hospital, assisted us there, and the entire team attended to us tirelessly day after day - including complimentary afternoon tea in our room. Bicycles were available to borrow to get around and see the various fascinating heritage sites - and we'd really recommend using them! Breakfast was predominantly Euro-continental, incredibly generous, and tastier than anything else we had in Sri Lanka outside of 5* hotels. Dinner was tasty too. The menu was diverse and competitively priced. Table service was exquisite. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and secure. The location was great - perfectly situated for exploring town, set back from the road so as to be silent at night, and with quick access to the lake on foot. A beautiful gaggle of peacocks graces the gardens. The hotel arranged our onward travel to Trincomalee in a comfortable car at a competitive price.

    Beautiful place. Isolated from the town but the location is beautiful. You can ride bike around the rice field and lake. If you’re lucky see an elephant. The woman at the elephant centre was very nice and we learnt a lot! I am glad we stop for a chat. The diner experience was amazing! We booked the traditional diner with 27 dishes cooked traditionally in clay pot and open fire. I recommend this hotel!

    Anuradhapura, one of the world's oldest continuously...

    Anuradhapura, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, is a treasure trove of ancient history that stretches back to the 4th century BCE. Established by King Pandukabhaya, it served as the majestic capital of Sri Lanka for over a millennium, playing a pivotal role in the island's Buddhist heritage and cultural evolution. The arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, introduced by Mahinda Thera in the 3rd century BCE, marked a transformative era for Anuradhapura. This led to the creation of awe-inspiring stupas, monastic complexes, and elaborate water reservoirs that showcase the ingenuity of the time. Central to this transformation is the revered Sri Maha Bodhi tree, a sapling believed to have been taken from the very tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment, which continues to be a powerful pilgrimage site. Anuradhapura flourished as a vibrant hub of trade, culture, and religion. Its stunning architecture, exemplified by monumental structures like the Ruwanwelisaya and the Jetavanaramaya, reflects the extraordinary vision and craftsmanship of its builders—each stone telling a story of devotion, power, and artistry. Despite facing invasions and natural calamities that eventually led to its decline in the 10th century CE, Anuradhapura's legacy endured. The capital shifted to Polonnaruwa, but Anuradhapura remained a beacon of historical significance, earning its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, it captivates scholars and travelers alike, offering a glimpse into Sri Lanka's rich cultural lineage and inviting exploration of its ancient ruins, sacred sites, and the profound stories embedded within them. Anuradhapura is not just a city; it’s a living testament to the resilience and depth of a civilization that continues to inspire.
