Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve

10/10 Excellent
"Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at jet wing! We came for our honeymoon and our butler did a fantastic job of making it special for us. From the service we got at check-in to check out the staff was great! We really enjoyed the excursions offered by the hotel like birdwatching in the morning. The food was all delicious and we especially liked the morning breakfast. We recommend jetwing to others on their honeymoon, but also saw a lot of families and seemed like a great place for groups as well."

"Of all of the places we stayed in Sri Lanka, we most enjoyed our time here. The staff, service, facilities, and food were wonderful. This is an oasis and a fantastic place to stay during your visit to Sigiriya. Check out time is 12:00, which is perfect for an early morning climb in Sigiriya with a delicious breakfast and swim in the pool to relax before moving on."

"This is a beautiful hotel. The rooms are nice and clean, grounds cleaned every day and the hotel has a great vibe. The breakfast was the best in Sri Lanka. The only area to improve is the restaurant food. We had a lunch when we arrived and it was OK, not great and overpriced. There are several excellent local restaurants just 10 minute walk from the hotel, overlooking the lake and Lion rock."
