We were told right up to yesterday that no one else had booked the venue for our staff get-together, which we’d arranged a month ago. But when we arrived today, they said it was double-booked. There wasn’t room for us to eat, and they made our party leave halfway through the meal. The menu didn’t match what we’d paid for, dishes weren’t refilled, and some people missed out on curries. We weren’t given fresh drinking water, paper towels or cloth napkins. When we asked about the water filter, staff pointed us to a dirty tap. We also weren’t given the changing rooms we’d been promised. Two men were sent into the ladies’ washroom while some of our women were inside. The staff were rude and aggressive. The place hadn’t been cleaned, there were cobwebs everywhere and the glassware was stained. This was the worst experience at Suwanila. I absolutely wouldn’t recommend it.

The lake is beautiful, and there’s a nice playground. It seems like an ideal setting for gatherings, and the food was excellent, better than I expected. The rooms let the place down, though, and the bathrooms weren’t clean. Better accommodation and hygiene would make a difference.

I think it’s now called Dambulla lake restaurant. It’s a fairly ordinary restaurant near Dambulla town, right beside historic Ibbankatuwa lake. The dining area is spacious and they serve typical Sri Lankan food. In the rainy season, though, rain may come into the dining area since there are no walls around it.

Great spot next to the lake, and the staff are friendly. The rooms need a lot of work, though. Some are broken, the water pipes and bathrooms aren’t well maintained.

A lovely place for a tasty breakfast. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend spending some time here.
