We found this place recommended on a travel blog, so we booked two nights and are so glad we did! The staff was extremely welcoming, kind and attentive. Upon our arrival, even before starting the check-in process, they invited us to relax by the pool with some tea to help us unwind. Once we were ready, they showed us to our room, which was extremely large and very clean. The pool was clean and refreshing; each time we went down to the pool the staff put out lounge chair pads and towels. We ate dinner here both nights - we ordered Kottu one night and then they specially prepared the Sri Lankan curry for us the next night, both were amazing. Their traditional Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious as well!
The power went out a few times due to some high winds and tree trimming, however the staff was fully prepared and turned on their backup generator. We went out to explore and when we came back there were ants in our sink (probably attracted to the toothpaste). We went down to tell the staff and they immediately came up and took care of the issue. Upon departing we were given a hand drawn map with a few "hidden gems" to stop at before making our way to Anuradhapura. Every time we thought the staff couldn't be more thoughtful, they would surprise us with another kind gesture. A truly great experience, we would highly recommend a stay at Seyara Holiday Resort!
