My stay at Amangalla was simply flawless. the service was stellar and made me feel like royalty. The beautiful colonial architecture and spacious rooms added to the luxurious experience.

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.
