Lovely hotel, but let down by the restaurant (in my opinion).

I couldn't understand the 'welcome' message from the hotel, now I have been there, I understand, have re-written it ....
Usual check-in time is 4 pm. The hotel is in an exceptional zone where the elephants bathe. They bathe in the river between 8.30 & 4 pm.
If you want to check in before 4 pm, you will need to buy a 'half price' ticket for $7. This ticket allows you access to the elephant bathing area (& the hotel), but not to the orphanage.
If you are staying at the hotel for two or more nights, you can (apparently) show your room key to the Tourist Police, who will allow you access to the hotel during your stay, without paying the $7 (still have to pay on first day, if you arrive before 4 pm).
If you want to visit the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, you will still need to buy a full ticket @ $15.
Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage is run by the Government, Zoological Department of Sri Lanka. Proceeds from tickets go towards food, medicine & staff to look after the elephants.

Very nice place with great hosts. Very warm and friendly people who took a great care of us during our 2 nights stay. Big and tasty breakfast! Nice views from the terrace. Each evening after sunset hundreds of bats fly above the guesthouse to their night location which is a fantastic view to watch.

Jungle Village Homestay is amidst thick dense forest and it is apt for people travelling to spend some quality time with nature. The homestay is surrounded by their farm and the owner's mother was very keen on explaining every crop and tree she grows there. I went with my mother and father and they were thrilled to see the enthusiasm of the host and this was our first day stay after we landed in lanka. truly a great way to start our Sri Lankan Trip. Thank you very much Mr. Ravi for a wonderful stay.

Spectacular area to get up and close with elephants.
Spectacular area to get up and close with elephants. Unique experience with elephants walking thru the village for their daily bathing.
General accommodation facilities were good. Bars and eateries also of reasonable standard.
We stayed at Grand Royal Pinnalanda and found this quite satisfactory in services and value.

Amazing experience to watch the elephants bathing.
Amazing experience to watch the elephants bathing. A number of souvenir shops on the street and limited food options. We ate in our hotel. Shops don't stay open late as most tourists leave for the day. 1 night is enough.

The staff were very obliging.
The staff were very obliging. We arrived at 1am, this was not a problem and they greeted us warmly. Next morning we watched elephants in river from our balcony. The events coordinator took us to a place where we could walk and swim with elephants. He stopped on side of road on way back to try coconut milk. Wonderful staff. We found the breakfast not quite to European tastes.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the complete hotel staff for their remarkable kindness and assistance, which undoubtedly enhanced our stay. We reserve special gratitude for Andrew, our tour guide, whose warm welcome and generous gesture of taking us on a village tour with his car left a lasting impression.
Most notably, witnessing the elephants relishing their river bath was an extraordinary experience. The soothing sound of the river from our room added a truly relaxing touch to our stay.

We stayed in the beautifull place Luck Uyana Cabana, with very nice spice garden. They offer guided tour in the garder for free with foot massage. You can enjoy long massage and pay for it.
They offer discount for elephant ride and bath with Millenium Elephant foundation which is just next door.
Unfortunately we got ride by Tuk Tuk from the bus station and he reocmend some other - cheeper, but not so clean place for elephant bath. We did not have time to go to Pinnawala itself.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the chalet at Peacock Village. The accommodation was the nicest we have had in Sri Lanka so far. It was clean and spacious and the owners were very nice. The manager, Andrew, was very helpful and attentive to any requests we had. He took us on a free tour of the village which we enjoyed. The chalet was a short walk/tuk tuk from the main hotel with the pool, restaurant and the elephants but this didn’t bother us at all and was actually quite nice.
the view was amazing, the pool wasnt crowded even though the hotel was fully booked, and we not only saw elefants also got to touch them! It was very surreal to wake up with the view of the river and elefants in them. the food was nice yummy and sri lankan authentic! it wasn't only western food :))
