Tri by Amaya

You sometimes find hotels that are just perfect and Tri by Koggala is surely one of them. From the entrance we understood that this is a very peaceful property that is away from the Noice and business of the towns. We were greeted with great smiles and everyone was so nice to us. I came with my wife to celebrate my birthday and the hotel staff was extra kind to allow us even early check-in. I had read from the reviews that the food was amazing and I was still surprised at how delicious the food was. Every bite was splendid and we will surely miss this food. We also went on a fabulous boat ride around the islands and the staff accompanied us were very good with their explanations. The next day morning was my birthday and the hotel staff had done an amazing decoration near the lake which allowed us to take some stunning birthday pictures. We took many pictures around the property and had the best birthday celebration possible. My wife accidentally broke a glass and we offered to pay for it but the staff was so nice to say no and allowed us to stay past our regular 11 checkout time as well just for us to enjoy the day a bit more. I am extremely delighted that I picked Tri by Koggala for my birthday and will surely visit this serene place again soon. It's a must visit place in Sri Lanka for the view and the hospitality.

A wonderful stay if you are wanting a relaxing, peaceful getaway. The rooms are spacious with great bathroom space. The only things missing from the rooms was a kettle to make tea and a fridge otherwise the accommodation is well worth booking. Every single staff we interacted with were always happy to help with a smile on their faces. A must do is the boat ride around the lake that takes you to cinnamon island which the hotel can organise for you. A big thank you to Shane the GM and all staff for a memorable stay.

Excellent place. Highly recommend. Good food, courtesy staff. Well maintain garden. Good room service. Nice architecture and impressive views all over the hotel site. Incredible catering to our various needs and a beautiful array of wildlife such as birds and small animals

We had one of the best experiences at Tri. Staff were friendly and accommodative throughout. Food was delicious. Good portion sizes and quick service was provided by the kitchen. Superb location with a great view. Spacious and comfortable room. Extremely quiet and a peaceful place by the Koggala lake.. However, road to the hotel gets quite narrow for last 1-2 km. All in all one of the best stays.. Great place to get away from all the hassle in the city…

We went back to Tri after one and half years and I was pleasantly surprised to see the enhancements and additions that have been made. Firstly they have added 4 new villas called sunset villas with gorgeous sunset views. The main lounge area has been totally refurbished and they have added a counter at the side of the railing where one can sit on a bar stool, sip a cocktail or beer and enjoys the panoramic views of Lake Koggala which are to die for. I did not want to get up from there. The boat ride in their motorized dhoni boat as they call it is a lovely experience with a visit to the temple and cinnamon island. The restaurant too has been redone and an extension added again with lovely views of the lake. Personally the best for me was the spacious deck which has strategically been located at the edge of the lake. A lovely venue for a romantic dinner, evening tea or simply to have a drink and gaze into the never ending views of the lake. The Spa too has been renovated and the food and cocktails were outstanding. As with all good things coming to an end, we sadly had to leave but we definitely will return. Coming from Colombo, this place is best enjoyed over a 2 night stay. Thank you all Tri and we will be back.

A true haven of tranquility!! Situated right on Kogalla Lake this hotel is beautifully designed and incredibly peaceful. Our’s was a very large Chalet bedroom overlooking the lake. It was both very peaceful and well equipped. The pool and public areas are fantastic. The hotel is located down a very rough and windy road so you need transport to visit surrounding areas, but the hotel happily provided a Tuk-tuk to take us to the nearby, (very special), Herman Teas tea plantation. We also enjoyed a fabulous tour around the lake in the hotel boat, ($75), and visited the fascinating Cinnamon Island. Definitely a place to kick-back and enjoy the R&R.

I had an amazing experience at Tri Koggala. We stayed in a villa with views at the lake. It was such a quiet and peaceful place, wish I could have stayed longer! In addition, the food was great and the staff was really helpful. Next time I would definitely stay here again!

Cosy and beautiful property. Mazmarizing view all over. Nicely built chalets maintaining our privacy and keeping the greenish surrounding intact. Top class hospitality of all staff members and they looked after us as of their family members. My kids mentioned Tri as one of best properties they visited in Sri Lanka. Last bit of access road need to be renovated.

What a wonderful stay! Tri’s staff were absolutely wonderful during our stay and couldn’t have been more helpful. We arrived to a sunset villa which was beautiful and brand new, very clean, very private but then decided we wanted a better view of the lake so requested to move rooms. The staff were brilliant about this and facilitated the move and made sure we were all okay. Food was excellent, views were amazing and we recommend the boat ride to Cinnamon Island to buy some spices.
