10.0Très bien comme sur les photos Restaurent buffer très abordable
− Tout était ok
Séjour à Pinnawala.
9.0L'hôtel est superbement bien situé pour voir les éléphants se baigner. La piscine était très propre et son cadre top. Nous avons très bien mangé le soir. La terrasse au bord de la rivière est top surtout le soir. Nous avons très bien mangé le soir. Le petit déjeuner, le meilleur de notre séjour. Un conseil, achetez vos tickets avant à l'orphelinat des éléphants, les policiers sont très pénibles. Notre ticket a dû être vérifié au moins 4 fois en une matinée, à croire que les touristes sont des voleurs.
− Un petit doute sur la propreté des draps et serviettes. Sinon tout le reste impeccable. Un conseil, achetez vos tickets avant à l'orphelinat des éléphants, les policiers sont très pénibles. Notre ticket a dû être vérifié au moins 4 fois en une matinée, on nous prend pour des voleurs les touristes étrangers.
Fabulous location with friendly staff
7.0The location is tremendous especially when you can have breakfast and swim with the elephants in front of you from 8.30am. It’s amazing to lookout and see the elephants with space to enjoy instead of being caught in the crowds. The staff were very friendly and helpful
− It was under a little renovation but it did not impact our visit
