I am a retired airline staff member, and this place is a part of my retirement plan. I started my career in the Hotel Industry, and I am now back to the same field after retirement. Exploring new places, experiencing different cultures and creating memories through travel is a common interest for many people and I am not an exception. Regular physical activities such as walking and gardening are part of my daily routine. Building and maintaining relationships with family and friends (including new friends) is important to me and it was one of the reasons that I wanted to run this hotel after my retirement.
The Grove is located in a quiet neighborhood overlooking the Hanthana mountain range and Ambuluwawa, the bio-diversity complex. Guests have enjoyed the quiet and calmness of the place; especially early morning with the birds chirping and the peaceful mountain views. Living in a neighborhood surrounded by mountains can provide stunning views with lush greenery and cascading waterfalls. It often offers a peaceful and serene environment.
