Kaveri Ayurveda Resort

The Hotel was excellent but if you want a massage or facial your skin colour matters very much. I went for a facial and massage. Was told the lady had gone home as she had no appointments but will call her and she will be 10 mins can I wait. I said OK. Waited and White lady came after me. When the person doing the massage came I was told she is busy with another client they will come and get me from my room in 20 minutes. I knew this was a blatant lie as I understand the Sinhalese. I heard them ask her if they can do both together and she said it was impossible. So although I was first the colour of my skin mattered. I did say to them I am not coming I will come back when my skin colour turns white. They tried to then make amends by sending someone to accompany us to dinner and he asked how my facial and massage went and I told him and his reply was that tourism is low at the moment so they took her first. I said in the UK you can be any colour but it goes with first come first serve basis and not the colour of your skin or if you are a tourist. I was born in Sri Lanka but have lived 50 years in UK. I am a tourist as well and this was about my 5 trip to SL in the 50 years. The price was the same as there was a price list. So why should someone go first because of the colour of their skin. I heard all the conversations because I am fluent in English and Sinhalese. This resort should say for people with White complexions ONLY

This is a beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting. The rooms are very comfortable. The staff is very friendly. This is the best place in this area to spend a vacation in my opinion. This is also a great place to take photos.The food here is also very good and this is a good hotel in a beautiful location. It is also very good to have separate rooms here.

As a medical student constantly on the go, and with my husband being a busy businessman, we both truly needed a peaceful escape — and this beautiful hotel gave us just that. Even more special, we got to enjoy it all with our little toddler, who loved every moment with us. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by calm, nature, and a truly relaxing atmosphere. It was the perfect place to slow down, breathe, and reconnect — not just with nature, but with ourselves and our little one. The hotel is absolutely stunning, with every detail designed to bring peace and comfort. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, always going the extra mile to make us feel cared for. One of the sweetest highlights was the surprise cake — such a thoughtful touch that made our stay even more memorable. We’re so grateful for this serene, love-filled experience and the beautiful memories we made together as a family. Thank you! 🌿💚🎂👨‍👩‍👦

Reached this resort rather late in the evening but was greeted with the utmost level of hospitality. Driving into the resort area felt like going into an unknown space, but the location being off road really makes it so warm and welcoming. A rather smack in a jungle-like surroundings. The room is large and so are everything in it. Mist greeted me upon waking up in the morning, giving another sense of isolation, peace and tranquility. And the place is so quiet. The property and surrounding structures are huge and reminds of the ancient days. Coming in in the off-season gave the opportunity for me to be treated during breakfast. This resort is a perfect location for one to spend days in self retreat or meditation. Unfortunately, I was there for just a night but will for sure return.
