Gal Oya Lodge

Gal Oya Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The property was beautiful and we felt cared about as staff very attentive. Our room was truly incredible, so fancy and even our own little pool. We also used the big communal pool which was great to relax by. The activities they offer was great. We did night walk, boat safari, jeep safari, hike monkey mountain which was strenuous but fun and great views, and very blessed to do a walk with a Vedda elder and learn from him."

"Amazing hotel! Located off the beaten track this was a great experience for the family. The pool is excellent, food good quality and the tours were well organised with small numbers. This is not a touristy area so a more exclusive feel that other locations in Sri Lanka."
