*Dear "Pearl White Residency -Polonnaruwa"* I wanted to provide feedback on my recent stay at your hotel with my family on March 04, 2025. Overall, I had a wonderful stay with my family, and it was an amazing experience. The full area was very calm and we were so relaxed. I was surprised really about your property and how amazing place that it was located. That made my day, honestly. I had visited your city several times and stayed in numerous hotels within your property range, but I could not find another property that gave us with the services you did. The check-in process went smoothly, and the staff were nice and accommodating. My room was very clean and comfortable. The food was delicious, and everything was really clean. The food quality was so good. Some dishes were excellent. The breakfast options were extremely good, and we had, like, enjoyed a lot. I mean, everything was better than we expected in a good way. I appreciate your efforts in making our stay enjoyable, and I hope this feedback will help you improve your services. I look forward to visiting your hotel again and experiencing all the other changes that you are planning to do in the future.

A room with a view of the lush garden and a peaceful terrace right in the tranquility of Pollonaruwa. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious. The host was exceptionally helpful, arranging guides for both an elephant safari and a tour of the wonders of the old town temples (both highly recommended); I had some money issues but he was very patient in helping to resolve them.

An amazing place with fantastic staff. The location is superb, making it the perfect spot to stay for days and enjoy the views. I'd call it a gem of a location—great for drone shots, a lovely pool, and delicious food. An added bonus was the amazing and tasty English breakfast included with the booking. Nearby, you can enjoy boat rides and watch fishing activities. Plus, I even got a free car wash from the facility! Highly recommended for those seeking a calm and quiet retreat with beautiful sunsets.

The owners are the most lovely and kindhearted poeple, they are caring and we had an interesting conversation about their lifes and family. Edna cooked outstanding curry for us, don't miss out on the opportunity to have dinner there! The hotel itself is neat and comfortable and it's a more quiet hideaway. The pool was a real blessing after our tour trough the ancient city on an extremely hot day. We also rented bikes at a good price for exploring the neighborhood.

    Exception place, I loved everything, nearest town is 12km away so some may find it quiet but for me it was perfect. The staff were great, and the chef was able to cater for 2 dietary requirements. Food portions are huge and room large and comfortable. Swimming pool warm and clean, just wear t-shirt or wet suit top if a lady to be respectful. It was an amazing experience

    As soon as we arrived after a long day of traveling the hosts brought us some welcome drinks. The pool was amazing and had some drinks while relaxing there. We did not feel like going out for dinner and the owners cooked us an amazing meal! We had some nice conversations and this was probably one of the best stays we’ve had in all our time in Sri Lanka. Thanks again!

    Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining.

    Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining. At the last stop in Polonnaruwa where you have the temple there was a young man sketching and painting. There was also an older gentleman selling Neem & Jamun tree wood containers and tumblers for keeping water in the night and drinking in the morning Neem for better all over health & Jamun for decreasing blood sugar.

    Amazing, smaller national park. More of a wild, intimate experience than it's massively over subscribed cousins. We were in very close contact with a family of elephants, (including baby) for at least 20 mins before another jeep arrived, and then it was only just the two vehicles.

    The ancient city of Polonnaruwa has a lot to offer to the tourists who want to know about the history of Sri Lanka. It has so many ruins and monuments to view, and especially marvel at the stone crafting abilities of ancient Sri Lankans who have created so many buddhist states and artistic monuments by using rocks. Definitely a trip to add to your bucket list.

    The ancient ruins are a wonder to visit. Some great knowledgeable guides available. A few crooks about aggressively selling their Tuk Tuk and bicycle hire to be beware of. Our guide was sadly threatened and intimidated by these bullysome men.
