All the staff were very kind and I had a wonderful stay.
I had the buffet breakfast and dinner, and all of the food was delicious and I enjoyed Sri Lankan cuisine.
The manager spoke to me at breakfast, and it was clear to see how great the hotel's hospitality is.
I would like to stay again.

We are frequent visitors to Kataragama and have stayed in another hotel before. Even though the same hotel was available, decided to try another. Clean and spacious room with a comfortable beds. Amazing view from the balcony. Due to our tight shedule , didn’t get a chance to use the pool. Certainly an inviting pool. Nicely kept gardens around the area. Breakfast was not great . Limited variety due to off season. Less than 10 minutes drive to Kiri Wehera and Kataragama Devalaya. In future, this will be our hotel in Kataragama.

We stayed at the presidential suite . It was a big room with all amenities. AC was up and running and hot water supply was super. Bed and pillows were comfy .Rooms were clean and maintained. Even there Deluxe rooms are very good. All facing the lake with a beautiful view . Hotel is very close to katharagama dewalaya. We had rice and curry it was so delicious. And also the deserts and the fresh fruits . Staff was very helpful and friendly. Even room service was spot on. Hope we had more time to spend at the hotel . May be next time Thank you to the team for taking care of us. Mrs Chathurika Wijetunge

The hotel is within walking distance of the temples and close to the Yala nature reserves. It caters mainly for tour groups. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable, but the restaurant is indoors only and mainly buffet. The swimming pool is magnificent - one of the best.

My stay at Grand Tamarind Lake was truly wonderful! The rooms were extremely spacious and the views out over the lake were beautiful. The staff were so friendly all throughout the hotel, always going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. The food was amazing as well! I will definitely be back to Grand Tamarind Lake!!

Excellent hotel in an exceptional location. An ideal location for cultural sightseeing as well as nature rich excursions (Kataragama Temple and Yala National park) All the staff especially the front of house and kitchen staff were amazing as well. 10/10 would recommend

We were very disappointed with our stay at the GRAND TAMARIND TREE resort, and therefore would not recommend and would not return! The resort rooms are very basic for the high price you pay in comparison to other options, and in our opinion the resort does not provide good value for money.
