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.

I travelled with my family from India.Property is good.Lake view from the property is very good.Rooms are spacious only problem was there low Internet connectivity and speed is also very slow.Plus very few options for vegetarians.Staff is very cooperative.Regarding cleanliness it is not up to the level of 5 star hotel.I can rate this hotel 4 star.This property have lot of monkeys u need to be careful of your belongings.

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.

We have been always staying at another hotel in Kataragama and as it was fully occupied during the time we wanted to visit, we decided to try out Grand Tamarind lake. What an amazing experience it was and we absolutely loved our stay . The rooms were very comfortable and the best part was that they had this amazing view of the lake. The early mornings were a bird lovers paradise while sipping one’s morning coffee. However the hotels greatest asset are their staff who went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable. From the front office manager Dhammika and to all the ladies at Reception, Lakshitha at the restaurant and the sous chef did everything possible to make us feel very welcome and comfortable . We were vegetarian during our stay and they made sure we had a huge spread of options everyday . All staff at housekeeping made our stay exceptionally comfortable and went into all lengths to provide us with all what we needed and more . They ensured all our laundry was ready within hours of giving them and went into all lengths for our comfort . Thank you for a lovely stay and we are sure to return and they will be our regular hotel in Kataragama.
