GreenAcres Leisure Resort:: A Slice of Paradise Our recent stay at GreenAcres was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were met with warm smiles and genuine hospitality from the entire staff. Their attentiveness was truly remarkable, ensuring our every need was met promptly and with a friendly demeanor. The cleanliness of the property was impeccable. Every corner sparkled, creating a relaxing and hygienic environment throughout our stay. The food served was consistently fresh and flavorful. But the real showstoppers were the stunning pool and breathtaking views. The pool itself was a haven of tranquility, inviting us to unwind and soak in the sun. And the surrounding scenery was simply awe-inspiring. We spent hours marveling at the picturesque landscapes, capturing the beauty in photos and etching the memories deep within our hearts. Without hesitation, I would recommend Green Acres to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable getaway. It's a place where exceptional service, cleanliness, delicious food, and breathtaking natural beauty converge to create an idyllic retreat. The gym was also a real bonus for a morning workout and stretch.

It is 10 mins drive from Kegalle town and on a top of a mountain. Views are great. Everything is new and functioning. The Internet is awesome and fast. Netflix and other streaming services preloaded. Pool is on the roof top. Food is tasty and we have a range of food to select from. The owners are friendly. I can say they give a 5 star hotel experience for a cheaper price.

We recently stayed at The Elephant Park Hotel as a family — my wife, our 1.5-year-old son, and I — and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From the warm welcome to the thoughtful service, everything was top-notch. Ravindu, the manager, was incredibly kind and ensured every part of our stay was comfortable, especially with our toddler. Andrew, who handled the sightseeing and activities, was knowledgeable and passionate. He organized an unforgettable series of experiences for us — including feeding, riding, and bathing with elephants in the river. It was a once-in-a-lifetime memory we’ll always treasure. The hotel’s setting is absolutely stunning. Our room, the infinity pool, and the in-house restaurant all overlooked the river — with elephants bathing and roaming freely right in front of us. Watching them from our balcony or while having a meal made each moment feel magical and deeply relaxing. The rooms were spacious, clean, and child-friendly. The food was delicious, and the restaurant staff were happy to adjust meals for our little one. If you’re looking for a peaceful, nature-connected, and family-friendly escape — this is the perfect place. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already thinking about our next visit. Highly recommended!

The views are just breathtaking. It’s the first thing you see when you enter. The rooms were comfortable with a balcony. The buffets at the hotel is lovely and affordable. The view from the pool and the river banks having the elephants just interact with the guests is also nice. There’s balconies on every floor is lovely if you don’t have a river facing room and there’s common areas. The housekeeping staff are such friendly boys and helpful. Also the guy at the restaurant was kind.

The staff greeted us at our tuk tuk and took care of our bags. Our room was nice and clean. There's a mini bar, for a fee, and a store right below. It's directly across the street from the elephant orphanage. In the morning, around 10:00, you can watch a herd of elephant cross the street. Quite a site

The town is just a town with shops, supermarket etc.

The town is just a town with shops, supermarket etc. For food, my tour guide Prashan brought me to Upcountry Restaurant which is a nice place with a beautiful scenery. :) Go for the attractions like Bible Rock, Saradiel Hill etc. They are nice.
