My stay at Amangalla was nothing short of magical. The beautifully renovated colonial building exuded charm and elegance, and the large, character-filled rooms provided an very nice sense of space and comfort. While the perfect service and exquisite cuisine impressed me immensely, the absence of elevators was a bit challenging, especially since I was on the top floor. Nonetheless, the amazing views made the climb worthwhile.
