The Hotel

The hotel was a few kilometres from the Lion Rock as most hotels were away from the rock itself. This was an excellent hotel with modern apartments, an excellent restaurant and great pool and grounds.The infinity pool was very large and excellent. The hotel also provided a typical 'local' Sri Lankan meal in an outside hut which was worth the experience to sample local village food.

Aliya Resort & Spa

The Rock

The Rock was a strenuous climb in humid warm weather but the view from the top is magnificent as was the remains of the old fort on the top.The stairs up were not to Australian standards but seem to have withstood many visits over time.
