The Rainforest Hideaway has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Deniyaya. Boasting a concierge service, this property also provides guests with a water park. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. What a wonderful place and a great adventure. We love the location, the little house is super clean, no mosquitoes and the best natural swimming pool. The food is amazing and the owners very sweet and helpful. We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed it to the moon and back. Highly recommended. Also the organized guided tours delivered more than we could hope for.

All units are equipped with air conditioning, a fridge, a minibar, a coffee machine, a shower, free toiletries and a desk. All guest rooms at the resort are fitted with a private bathroom and bed linen. There is nothing not to like. It’s one of the best experiences I’ve had form a staffing experience. Every iota of details is looked after from the moment you arrive. Not a single stone is left unturned. Every member is courteous friendly and keen to help make sure your stay is spectacular from free yoga to a daily cocktail it’s the little things that matter through to coming over and helping arrange things to do for us in the morning. The rooms are stunning overlooking rice paddies with a phenomenal sunset glistening off the water. The large rooms with fans and aircon make for a really nice experience for those that don’t always want cold air blasted overnight. Sitting with your feet in the plunge pool in the morning watching the birds go by with a coffee is quite special. Food. Where to begin. So so so good. You’re in for a treat.

All guest rooms come with air conditioning, a fridge, a minibar, a kettle, a shower, free toiletries and a desk. Featuring a private bathroom with a hairdryer, rooms at the resort also feature free WiFi, while selected rooms also feature a balcony. Guest rooms feature a safety deposit box. This is the best hotel we stayed at for a very long time across the world. I haven’t seen such efficiency and professionalism treating guests. Let’s start with the arrangement, the hotel creates a room specific WhatsApp chat to send all the information on food, check in, hotel rules, wifi code and prices. They don’t use paper rather technology. Then they welcome you in person and ask if you have any question about the hotel. The hotel is plastic free, they offer glass bottles and they refill them. Next day they send you a message with numbered service for you to choose from regarding house keeping, they have the option for not exchanging your towels which is great to save water and laundry energy. The rooms are big, super clean and simple but with nice elegant touches. The room has everything you need, hair dryer, safe, closet with a key, lights, AC and a fan, glasses and team bags. The bathroom offers all natural essential oil products for body and hair, in recyclable bottles. The hotel also offers free Tuk Tuk rides to the beach between 9 and 6, you can ask for a return trip via WhatsApp, the staff are so respectful, helpful and professional. The place is spotless, breakfast is so good with wide variety of options even for specific dietary needs. The view is fantastic and a calm beach great for snorkelling is 10 min walking to the left side of the hotel, when you face the ocean standing in the breakfast garden. We visited during high waves season (off season) yet we managed to swim in calm water and see the fishes in this beach, which is not the case in Mirissa beach in September and October. We highly recommend this hotel, special thanks and appreciation to Anuradha for managing this great effort, also the kind Tuk Tuk driver, the lovely man who served us breakfast, the chef, and house keeping team, I am sorry I didn’t get the names of the staff, thank you all
