Delicious Meals!

The food at Thambapanni Retreat was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend trying the Sri Lankan rice and curry – it was the best meal I had during my trip! The chef was incredibly accommodating and even prepared meals to my liking. Breakfast offered a nice selection, and I loved dining outside in the lovely atmosphere.

Soothing Spa Treatments!

The spa treatments at Thambapanni were just what I needed to unwind. I experienced a wonderful massage, and the peaceful environment made it even better. It was a lovely retreat after a day of exploring. The serene setting and skilled therapists made it a highlight of my stay.

Refreshing Yoga Experience!

I thoroughly enjoyed the morning yoga classes guided by Ranjan. Each session left me feeling rejuvenated and centered. The surrounding natural beauty added to the tranquility of the experience. I highly recommend participating, even if you're a beginner!

Comfortable Accommodations!

My room at Thambapanni Retreat was spacious and well-furnished, with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The large bed was so cozy, and I loved having a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. The cleanliness was commendable, and returning to a tidy room each day felt wonderful.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel in a tranquil setting surrounded by greenery, just off the main street providing convenience while offering a peaceful retreat. The service was attentive, but there were some issues with pricing knowledge. The dining experience was mixed with delicious options but repeated choices. The rooms were comfortable but lacked real views as they were in a separate building.
