Reviews of Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve 5 stars

Stunning hotel and our accommodation was perfect. Quiet, peaceful and private, just what we needed after 2 weeks travelling throughout Sri Lanka.

Amazing stay. Our butler Fabian was simply great, but also all the stuff was very welcoming and always available. Room was super, we were upgraded to the suite with private pool; all very clean, functional and spacious. Bar, restaurants, receptions; all was great but the big plus is really the contact with the nature you can experience in such a resort, is truly like a safari. We have seen huge lizard, elephant, hanuman monkeys etc. Simply the best stay in Sri Lanka.

Additional activities proposed by the hotel are overpriced if compared to overall market price. At least this was my impression with Minneriya safari.

Room was very nice and the hotel is v tranquil The naturist is very knowledgeable and did an excellent sustainability talk and night time safari. Our butler, Ruchira, was exceptional. Always looking out for us and looking after us. We felt really bad when we realised he didn't go to bed until we did and went on a night safari until 1am, but he was smiley, happy and personable.

Pool was reasonably small for the hotel size and if you don't have a pool in the villa.

Jetwing was absolutely sensational. We stayed as part of a Honeymoon trip and the staff took care of every detail with care & precision. So friendly, so comfortable. So relaxing.

Everything - especially Ravi, our butler, who was incredible

Extraordinary property, the interactions with nature were fabulous- monkeys, peacocks, jungle foul… the suite was vast, the dining room elegant and the live music very pleasant. The library was a particular favorite to read overlooking the lake. The staff were phenomenal, especially Asith our butler, and Yesitha our naturalist. The elephant safari with Yesitha was a standout experience in the entire trip. The spa was also excellent, and having a beautiful, well equipped gym was much appreciated. The food is fabulous. This is a world class hotel.

The resort is put together beautifully. peaceful and perfectly blended with the natural surroundings. Our water dwelling was just stunning. The attention to detail and the room layout are awesome. The service was outstanding. A special thank you to Ravindra and Amila, who looked after us throughout our stay. It’s great to have a personal butler, but what made the experience really special was how genuinely they cared about making us feel at home. The guided tour of Sigiriya Rock and the elephant safari are well-organized, and the naturalists who joined us were knowledgeable and making the trips more than worthwhile. If you’re planning to do these kinds of trips, definitely go with a guide. The food was another highlight with attention to local dishes as well as international cuisine.

A stunning location and a resort with a unique feel to it. We loved that the rooms are all tucked away among rice paddies, lily ponds, or open out onto the water body that teems with bird life, fish, and some crocs. We appreciated the nature-conscious philosophy of the hotel and their efforts to respect the wildlife of the area. The evening dining is very good, the rooms beautiful, spacious, and tasteful and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The heat is quite something so we really recommend the rooms with small plunge pools.

We didn't pre-order breakfast and felt the breakfast menu was a bit sparse. The breakfast itself was also disappointing compared to other Jetwing establishments.

Great property that is serene and an oasis in Sigiriya. Fantastic food and staff were all very obliging and helpful

Very peaceful hotel. Beautiful common swimming pool. Eco conscious. Close encounters with animals in the property.

Location and premises amazing, the room was very big and comfortable.

The staff did not speak English and it was very hard to communicate and did not proactively informed us of hotel activities, and complimentary massage.

We booked a private Villa with private pool and jacuzi. It was as requested. There was a bit access to the street and people from one corner, but they managed to block it with a blanket for more privacy It’s expensive but worth the money

Amazing location, really big room and excellent service (thanks Ravi!)

Staff was wonderful. How incredible Dissa was and how he went over and above every step of our experience to ensure we had the most amazing time there. Dissa made the stay incredible.

Great aesthetics and touch to the place, massage ladies can be better trained for better value for money.

I liked the property, the staff were gorgeous - and the location was quite stunning landscape. My feeling was the actual property was more 3/4 star - i think I was over priced for what it was. The staff were extremely sweet, but it was a bit chaotic for a 5 star hotel. Extremely slow service, but from very very lovely people. Lots of power cuts, card machines didn’t work, no yoga mats in the gym, no one to meet you at the gate - we came back from a sunset hike up Lion Rock, and we had to walk in the dark through the estate, which was not very well lit and there is a crocodile (and a wild elephant was roaming around scaring the locals say on our second night)

The landscape, the food, the position

Compared to the price the room was a bit “old”, WiFi completely absent (in case of personal emergency)
