This is a good place to stay if you are travelling to Polonnaruwa to see the ancient city, good facility, good food and excellent service from the staff.
Stayed there 2 nights, very neat and clean place. The chalets are very spacious with high ceilings, have good beds and a bathroom I would like at my home, with a good shower with pressure and hot water, which is a rare thing in Sri Lanka. Nice green environment all around and a nice pool. Yes you might find a few bugs and a lizard but that comes with the green. The staff is very friendly and the service is just superb , they go beyond to please you, very friendly manager too. The only reason I did not have 5 stars was because I was disappointed with the food that was served in the evening from the menu. Tried a steak which was tasteful give them that but very though, but that's the thing with most beef in Sri Lanka. Also tried spaghetti, this I didn't like at all, way to much of a bad tasting sauce. It's a shame because the breakfast was good and the buffet for lunch was just amazing. So I know they can do it better.
This is a convenient location to see Polonnaruwa and its ancient ruins. Very comfortable, modern and relatively new chalets by a paddy field gives you the feel of living in the village. Rooms are larger than average and has contemporary architecture worth mentioning. No complaints about the food and service, though there is room for improvement. The last upstair chalet in particular is very private. The pool is kept well but you may get bitten by very tiny bugs from the paddy fields, who will join you in the evening for a swim.
The Hotelrooms are beautiful, a large bathroom with shower. The Pool looks reallynice, but the water wasn't clear, more milky, so we didn't swim. You can have Western or Sri Lanken Breakfast. At noon they have a buffet, where you can eat as much as you want, but you can order as well from the menue card. They have a big Restaurant place, for tourist groups who are coming to lunch time. The food is good, but not special. At Dinner time it is quiet, there moastly only hotel guests at the restaurant. They also have a small Bar with the basic cocktails.
Firstly, the ambience at Tides Arena is nice. It has got a good swimming pool in one corner. The landscaped garden is a treat to the eyes. The four chalets are located at the back of the land next to a rice (paddy) field. Each consists of two well furnished rooms - one on each floor. The restaurant is at the front just behind the open car park. Parking is generally adequate. Restaurant serves good food.
Food quality and service good. Relaxed atmosphere. However if there is a private function in the adjoining hall, disturbances are very high because no soundproofing.
Great place situated a short drive away from Polonnaruwa town. Good food and great rooms which are large, modern and contemporary. All the basics of good Bedding , washrooms with amenities, cable tv, tea/coffee facilities , AC etc
Great food and excellent ambience. Food is reasonably priced. Great place to eat if you are in Polonnaruwa.
This restaurant has a large parking area where you can even park large buses. It has a large dining area and a nice bar just next to it. I like the open area of the restaurant where you can relax after a long journey.
They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The lunch is served as a buffet. You can have Sri Lankan sweets here.
The restrooms are clean and well maintained.
There are few rooms and a swimming pool.
