Tri Ahangama By Teardrop Hotels

The property made you feel relaxed and energized all in one

Stunning surroundings, peaceful and clean.

Stunning surroundings, peaceful and clean.

Unfortunately it is an unsafe place, my wife got severe head injury and lacerations, she had several stitches. It all happened after we have visited the roof ( their employee recommended us to go there), when going down the stairs she grabbed the chain for support and a piece of concrete fell on her head from the roof! The funniest thing - hotel management blamed us for what happened from the beginning. Cannot recommend! (Trying third time to attach some photos).

Great location, and some staff (Chamika, as far as I remember, and the F&B supervisor) are trying their best to do the job. The lake suites are relaxing.

1. Staff: Other than the 2 people I have mentioned, these people are clueless. We were shocked to see that it is a Teardrop property. The check-in took 1 hour. No one paid attention, so we had to ask 'Are you guys going to do anything about us or not?' 2 . Quality of the property: Bathrooms are not cleaned properly, and the property needs maintenance. Initially, we booked a tower room, but the window broke down, and the AC was not working properly either. So we had to request another room.

Beautifully set besides Lake Koggala, with well-maintained gardens and grounds. This is a real respite for calm and relaxation away from the busy coastal road. Our room with private plunge pool was a real sanctuary to unwind. Nice tasteful design of mid-century Tropicana throughout the hotel (it looks better than the photos here, with some areas clearly being recently renovated). Clean throughout and well maintained. As always, it’s the people who make travel what it is and the staff at the hotel, during our visit, was impeccable. The management team as well as all the bar & restaurant staff were all super friendly and attentive (shout out in particular to Jayantha and Sandun), making our visit feel special.

Having to leave! I must admit, just before coming we were a little apprehensive following some recent bad reviews. I am quite perplexed at these as our visit was flawless. The hotel has undergone a recent ownership change, so maybe some of the issues had been as a result of this. However, I can’t say I noticed anything of issue during our stay.

Breakfast was amazing with good menu, well cooked and beautifully presented.

Ausstattung und Lage

חוויה מהממת! מלון 7 כוכבים!!! אוכל מצויין!!! שירות מצויין!!! נוף מהחדר פשוט וואו!!! הנסיעה קצת מפחידה בלילה אבל חוץ מזה אין דברים כאלה!!!!! אחזור לכאן שוב!

Wonderful setting once the journey to the location is finished. Lovely gardens and pool area. So much potential to be a fabulous place, which with new owners should be achievable. Food is great and good value. Staff are trying so hard to deliver good service but need some training and more resources. Very peaceful! The response I received from CEO was genuine and acknowledged by fair feedback. This was much appreciated.

Rooms were tired and need a lot of care and attention to bring them up to the pictures on the website and the price that the previous owner charged. I can’t comment on current offers. I felt sad to visit at a time when I could see how wonderful it could be, but probably won’t go back to experience the future regeneration as there are so many other places I want to visit.

The pool and the views over the lake are stunning! I stayed in a villa with a pool and the villa itself is really clean and spacious

The restaurant service is extremely slow and waiters don’t seem to know the menu and tend to disappear during your meal. Even though there were max 4 groups of diners eating at any point the service was extremely disappointing and trying to order additional drinks took so long it wasn’t worth the wait! We raised our issue with the manager who admitted they were short staffed but still due to the amount of waiters (approx 2) to the number of guests it didn’t really explain why service was so slow. The plunge pool with our room wasn’t heated and was constantly in the shade due to the position so we never used it during our stay The setting is pretty remote and you have to go through very bumpy roads to get into the town

Nous sommes tombés sous le charme de la splendide piscine à débordement. Elle est grande et très bien conçu, nous avons l’impression de nager dans le ciel. L’endroit est très bien entretenu, le lieu est très calme et reposant. Le lieu est situé à l’écart de la plage et des villes ce qui lui confère une atmosphère particulière et très agréable. Immersion au milieu de la faune et de la flore. Le personnel est à la disposition des clients, le service est de qualité. Petit plus pour la salle de gym dans la canope de la jungle (quelques poids libres, banc, tapis et vélos).

Nous n’avons pas été conquis par le service de restauration du site. Attention plusieurs charges additionnelles sont à prévoir en supplément au moment de payer l’addition (service + TVA).

What an amazing location and stunning villa overlooking the lake. Absolutely everything you could ask for in true luxury 5+ star accommodation. A beautiful infinity pool overlooking lake kogalla. Fantastic food and lovely attentive staff. We wish we had stayed longer . (There was also a great gym, yoga studio and library which was unexpected). We came in the rainy season but it was fabulous with a great seating area when it did happen to rain. Don’t let the time of year deter you. Also why go to a huge impersonal and boring resort when this is on offer?

Nothing - everything exceptional

Locación, limpieza, naturaleza,tranquilidad

Lento servicio

Really beautiful rooms and surroundings.

Staff were unprepared and service was lacking. Things were regularly forgotten/took too long or just became bewildering complex - ordering a drink at the pool bar and it took over 30 minutes despite us being the only customers; trying to just get two menus at the table and it being confusing to the staff; trying to order coffee at breakfast and just getting blank stares from our waiter etc. Felt like there was a lack of training, or maybe we came at a time when the regular team were out? We were also staying for our honeymoon, something that was forgotten until we were leaving, at which point someone came out asking if we’d had our cake and offering to pack it for us. It was well intentioned, but it was frustrating how unsmooth the service was throughout our stay. We ended up clearing our own tables/collecting our own drinks etc just to simplify/speed things along. It was still a pleasant stay, but it seemed like there was some chaos happening behind the scenes.

This beautiful tranquil environment was a highlight of our trip. We loved being surrounded by nature. Meals were exceptional and staff very friendly & accommodating. Sunrise from the water tower was amazing and the library a lovely, tranquil place to retreat to. The infinity pool was also a highlight. Rooms are generous in size and the cinnamon scented bathroom products were gorgeous. Personal pool for the room was also appreciated.

No kettle, tea/coffee or fridge in room & despite asking twice, one was not delivered to our room during our stay as promised. Cost of additional activities is extremely high which discouraged participation.

Das Tri liegt wunderschön und sehr ruhig am Rande eines Sees, die Anfahrt ist etwas mühsam aber machbar. Wir haben die Ruhe und die Lage genossen. Man kann auch in 15 min mit dem TukTuk nach Ahangama fahren und hat dann dort Beachlife und Restaurants. Der Pool ist sehr schön, das Essen (Frühstück) sehr gut und auch die Bootstour hat uns gefallen.

Der Zimmerpreis ist etwas teuer und auch die Bootstour war nicht günstig. Kleine Schwächen an der Ausstattung und am Konzept (kein Kaffee am Zimmer, kein Kühlschrank, aber leider auch kein Zimmerservice).

They were incredibly understaffed and were using vocational workers from the nearby school. For the price we were paying it was incredibly dissapointing that the service was so poor. No one could make a half decent coffee or cocktail.

Beautiful place and nice view.

I was very disappointed with the overall level of service. The hotel appeared to be significantly understaffed, which affected nearly every aspect of the experience. There were very few staff members available, and most of them were unable to communicate effectively in English, making even basic interactions difficult. Simple requests and orders took an unreasonably long time to be handled and most of the time we didnt get exactly what we ordered.

Nothing its the worst

They take extra charge more than the booking price, the service it’s the worst and it’s so far and hard to reach also the food having bad smell, I don’t recommend it at all 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful stay at Tri Ahangama We stayed at Tri Koggala for 2 days and truly enjoyed our experience. From the moment we arrived, the team ensured that our stay was comfortable, smooth, and memorable. The entire check-in process, room allocation, and overall guest experience were handled very well by Mr. Lalit, Mr. Jayantha,Mr. Chamal and Mr. Priyantha. They took great care of us throughout our stay and were always attentive and helpful. A special mention to Mr. Gamini, the Chief Chef, who prepared some of the best Sri Lankan food we have had. The flavors, authenticity, and presentation were outstanding. We would also like to thank Mr. Pasan, Mr. Prashan, and Mr. Chamal, who ensured excellent service during meals and made our dining experience consistently pleasant. Mr. Ishan, the Chief Engineer, deserves appreciation for ensuring everything was perfectly maintained and running smoothly from an engineering perspective. Finally, Ms. Shamika welcomed us during check-in with a warm smile and great politeness, which set a very positive tone for our stay. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience, made special by the dedication and hospitality of the entire team. We would definitely recommend Tri Koggala and look forward to visiting again.

One of the hotel experience we had in our lives.

Staying at Tri was the highlight of our trip! It is so so worth the price, and felt like a little slice of heaven — truly a dream property. BOOK IT, trust me. The property is absolutely beautiful & thoughtfully designed — we especially loved spending time in the library and relaxing by the pool. It’s kept so clean and you can tell a lot of heart goes into taking care of it which is so nice to see. Aside from the incredible & serene view + amazing rooms, the best part is easily the food and the staff — the staff are so kind, warm and accommodating and always gently checked if we were doing alright. Everything happens so seamlessly and we were so well taken care of! We especially love the manager Lalid who was kind enough to give us a walk through of the property before we booked and personally ensured we were happy during our stay. The hospitality is like nothing we’d ever experienced and we are already planning to go back soon! The food is AMAZING — fresh ingredients, so so so delicious and felt like we were having a Michelin starred private dining experience every day. I remarked to my husband that it was the best breakfast I’d ever had in my life and we talk abt the meals we had there all the time.

That we didn’t stay long enough!

Stunning room, clean modern design and spacious bathroom. The staff were great and very helpful. A great place for bird watchers. Unfortunately I couldn't go on a boat trip because it was raining...but hopefully next time...

The breakfast service was a bit slow and the food choices were limited.

הכל היה מושלם! המקום נראה כמו גן עדן, מטופח ונקי מאד! הצוות אדיב ומקסים והאוכל טעים בטירוף! יש רק דברים טובים להגיד על המקום הזה והרבה מאד מהם!

Çok güzel, doğa dostu bir oteldi. Odalar temizdi; personel güler yüzlü ve çok ilgiliydi. Otelden çok memnun ayrıldık.

We spent 2 nights on this stunning location and eco lodge. The site is placed in the middle of nature, surrounded by a lake and a perfect vibe. Staff was incredible, very kind and professional. Food was delicious, the quality was really high. We took the villa with private swimming pool, that was a true gem and made our experience perfect. Really recommend to book this type of accomodation.

extra service / experiences (yoga and massage) are overpriced, above European standard prices and the quality is average

Amazing views and great service

It was so calm and peaceful and serene. The manager was very helpful and staff were attentive and responsive.

Nothing except the road coming in to the property could be better paved

The setting is peaceful and scenic. The library was a lovely surprise with a good collection of books. We enjoyed spotting wildlife around the grounds. Some moments were genuinely relaxing.

The private pool in the Tri Villa didn’t work properly the entire stay, despite reporting it. We were also overcharged for food even though the menu said tax and service charge were included. Slow response to issues, poor maintenance (lights not working, sockets failing), and the checkout experience left a bad final impression.

Really beautiful design and layout. The pool is just fabulous- not very clean though

Started the day beautifully around late afternoon when we checked into the water tower rooms. The location and pool are spectacular. Then it rained and things went haywire. We were bitten by bugs or ants through the night in the higher room of the water tower. Finally woke up and stayed awake from 225 am till late morning. My daughter had red bites all over her body and I had them all over my chin. Staff on duty were helpful with ointment and some sandwiches but overall having spent 247 USD for one night stay for 2 and a small dinner I would've preferred not to be bitten. No refund was offered.

Currently writing this review from Tri's gorgeous library as we wait for our lift to the airport and could not be sadder to be leaving! This was the final destination on our 2-week Sri Lankan honeymoon and was booked last minute after we decided against our original hotel due to some concerning reviews. We are SO glad to have ended up at Tri. It is a pure paradise with exceptional staff, stunning rooms, beautiful grounds and delicious food. We loved the focus on sustainability and integration with nature - there are no plastic bottles or TVs in the rooms here! Our entire stay has been a dream; full of beautiful scenery, luxurious massages, and delicious food, and has ensured we will be (reluctantly) returning home relaxed and rejuvenated. We cannot wait to stay here again in the future!!!

Impossible to dislike anything about this place!!! (The road to the resort is a bit narrow and bumpy so just make sure you/your driver is careful!)

The hotel was simply amazing! The view was breathtaking and provided a sense of peace and tranquility. The service was excellent, the staff was friendly and professional, always available to assist with any request. The cleanliness was impeccable, every corner of the hotel was well-maintained and tidy. The location is perfect – quiet and secluded, exactly what we needed to relax and escape. Additionally, the hotel's restaurant was outstanding – the food was delicious, and we enjoyed every meal. A wonderful experience that makes us want to come back again!

Nothing.

Nos encantó como estaba mimetizado con el entorno. Estás en plena naturaleza, pero con todas las comodidades. A nivel de diseño, nos encantó la arquitectura y la decoración del complejo. Había variedad de platos y bebidas, todo buenísimo. Hay oferta de actividades muy interesantes. La comunicación con el personal es fácil y cómoda. Es el lugar ideal para relajarse. Nosotros fuimos con nuestro propio coche y el acceso es complicado por la estrechez de la carretera, pero no hubo ningún percance. El acceso está bien señalizado.

Trevin and Alia are legends!! Sensation stay amazing hospitality and views! The Spa the boat trip is a must do 😁

Great location, very friendly and helpful staff. beautiful and relaxing surroundings. Good food. Never felt busy

The road to get to the hotel is very steep and poorly paved. Must be a nightmare in rainy conditions Bed could have been a bit softer

Secluded, peaceful spot with an incredible vista and wonderful staff. The place has been designed with a lot of thought and it really has everything you need - comfortable bedrooms, a gym, a library, infinity pool and a good restaurant on site. You can also head via tuk tuk to local town for bars and restaurants.

Our stay at this hotel was simply perfect. The location, the room, the cleanliness — everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was exceptional. A special thank you to Pupudu, who was incredibly professional, kind, and attentive throughout our stay. The pool bar team and the room service staff also deserve a special mention — they were consistently courteous, efficient, and went above and beyond to meet every single request we had. Thank you again to the entire team for such a flawless and luxurious stay.

Amazing nature, views and good facilities. The staff were very welcoming and responded fairly quickly to requests

Not much options for breakfast. Weird insects around but its a jungle so i had to expect that 😅

The location is beautiful and the staff are fabulous!

WiFi wasn’t reliable

Absolutely stunning view, beautiful pool, delicious food, overall quiet and relaxing.

If I had to name one thing: the service at the restaurant was a bit slow.

The property is really stunning and out of this world, nestled by the lake with endless views of the lush vegetation. The infinity 20m pool is also a gem including all lounging areas. The room (lake suite) we had was also nice with a beautiful view. The food was pretty good too and the waiters were lovely. The massage was very good.

The “experiences” on offer were disappointing (not available, no follow up, low quality of service) but we provided the feedback while there and a manager was very receptive which we appreciated. The massage was very good though. For sensitive sleepers, bring a sleeping mask as the room has upper windows with no curtains and the room is fully bright from 6am.

What a beautiful location overlooking Koggala Lake. Spacious room with balcony overlooking the lake. Excellent food both Sri Lankan and western. Amazing library plus gym and spa. Lovely infinity pool with poolside bar. Short tuk tuk ride from rom the beach but far from the noise of the resort.

Nothing except we should have brought old a longer stay!

Amazing location overlooking Koggala Lake, and run as a true eco-resort, with beautiful spaces to relax and enjoy the wonderful nature of Sri Lanka.

Nothing - once you arrive, there is little reason to go outside the property (which is a good thing, considering the rather hair-raising ride through the poor roads leading to the property!)

Luxury in the heart of a rain forest, from privacy to the sounds of nature, it was beyond exotic. The staff is very welcoming and the GM made sure that our stay went perfectly well. We had booked the family villa since we were 5 people and wanted to stay in close proximity. The 2 rooms are not interconnected but have a private pool in the middle and both rooms are lake facing. You are truly immersed in nature with the sound of afternoon showers, peacocks echoing their calls all day, chirping birds in the morning, bhuddist prayer chants in the distance and innumerous crickets at night. You can hear a few monkeys too but we dint see any at the property. The infinity pool is magic with a beautiful deck and bar. The views are so scenic with the beautiful rainforest lake in sight and reflections of the sun gleaming throughout the day. The sunrise is breathtaking from this deck, although if you have a lake facing room, then you can enjoy the sunrise from there too. Enjoy viewing an uninterrupted view of the stars in a clear night sky. Food was well curated and breakfast was excellent. The approach might feel like a little adventure but it's a part of heading into the rainforest. We had a memorable experience at Tri by Amaya and look forward to returning soon!

Everything. It was fabulous, beautiful location , amazing staff, great food and the perfect get away to relax

Nothing.

Beautiful location, providing much calm, surrounded by stunning scenery and an incredible array of birds. The staff were welcoming and warm, stopping to chat and see if I needed anything. A special shout out to Mr Aruna and Chef Sharmil. Its rare to find a hotel with such luxury that also has a personal touch and with an owner and staff that really care. A wonderful stay.

Everything was done really well.

I really liked the pool and the entire pool area. The staff was accommodating even though they made the impression that they were a little overwhelmed. The room view and the calmness was great.

What I find really disappointing is that we only found out the place has a gym and a library and a yoga Shala after our stay. Nobody has told us about the facilities so we essentially paid full price for not the entire service and facilities. We would have definitely used them. Also as said before, the staff is nice but seems overwhelmed and rather slow. The road to the place is a bit tricky and we had a bit difficulties to find it in the first place.

Having stayed at multiple resorts & hotels across Sri Lanka over a period of one and a half weeks, Tri by Amaya takes the win for the best stay overall for my wife and I. We happened to celebrate our Anniversary at Tri. General Manger Dinesh, Manager Harsha and Chef Camil helped plan out the day with multiple couple’s activities which included a couple’s spa, a 1.5 hour boat ride in the lake with drinks and refreshments, and a lavish dinner with off the menu vegetarian items along with a cake prepared by Chef Camil himself, all of which made the wifey super happy. We spent the rest of our time at the lake facing villa with a plunge pool, with full height windows, and a running balcony facing the lake with seating, which was absolutely perfect to say the least. An attempt to extend our stay by a day and skip 1 night in Colombo failed unfortunately as the Villa was already booked by other guests. All in all, felt pretty lucky and happy that Tri happened at the very end of our Sri Lanka trip, as it turned out to be an absolute banger, thanks to Dinesh and the entire team of service staff.

It would have been great to have a mini fridge at the villa, the only miss overall at Tri. Though we had enough ice buckets delivered to us as and when requested.

Great location, staff very flexible. We stayed in two different Accomm options. We loved the option for isolation…. Including room service

Lots of stairs

This stunning hotel, set by a tranquil lake and just 15 minutes from the ocean, is pure bliss. The beautiful, spotless rooms blend seamlessly with nature, offering a peaceful escape. The food is exceptional, with fresh, flavorful dishes, and the staff is truly outstanding, going above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable. Whether you seek relaxation or adventure, this jungle retreat is a must-visit!

location, staff, service, amenities

nothing

The view

I had a disappointing experience. The staff were not helpful and struggled to understand English. The service was extremely slow, which made everything frustrating. On top of that, the pool towels were dirty, which is unacceptable. However, the view was perfect.

Incredible room, with incredible views, amazing staff and the pool/bar area was fantastic

Nothing

Our stay at Tri by Amaya was simply exceptional! Stunning lake views, serene surroundings, and top-notch service made it a perfect retreat. The infinity pool and delicious food were definite highlights. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

Nothing!

Everything was great except …

Wifi is not good not working and gym is not a gym .

What a beautiful setting and the rooms were stunning as well as spacious. Stayed in the cinamon tower with great views to start and moved into a sunset villa as we extended for an extra night. Huge bathroom and patio doors you can open to the elements as nobody can see in. The infinity pool was fab. Long enough for a decent swim. Staff were always very helpful and we loved the food especially the local, Sri Lankan breakfast. Must be ordered the night before. We wanted a tranquil setting for a couple of days to relax before starting our tour of the island and it did not disappoint.

The cinamon tower has a terrace free for anyone to enjoy so if staying in the tower you will hear footsteps going up and on the room. East and west facing fir sunset and sunrise. Probably not ideal if a light sleeper.

The site is a beautiful place, very tranquil and room had an amazing view of the jungle and lake.

The service was extremely poor - waiting hours for food and orders getting forgotten. The food left a lot to be desired, it felt like Tri was caught in between keeping Sri Lanka roots (which we loved) and trying to westernise the food so it became a little bit mixed up.

Beautiful location and amazing staff.

The view of the lakes is beautiful and the care the staff gave us was fantastic.

If you want to rest, this is the hidden gem for you. The location was amazing for relaxing. Rooms are decorated very well.

The restaurant is the area that they need to improve. We ordered lunch and it was one of the worst foods that we tried in Sri Lanka. The restaurant & food quality should be improved for a place like this.

The rooms are all clean and good space

The food menu

This hotel is one of a kind, the staff is incredible, the views out of this world! The room was honestly my favourite of any place I’ve stayed in all my travels. Clearly next level design and architecture in a very subtle and tasteful way. The spa treatment was wonderful and the cooking class under the banyan tree was magical. I wish I had stayed longer and definitely will next time I am back. I can’t express how fantastic this hotel is thank you for making us feel like home ❤️

Beautiful views of the lake. Even able to take a boat ride if you wished too. Rooms were spacious and had its own pool. Very comfortable and luxurious. The staff went above and beyond for me. They surprised with an amazing birthday cake following my amazing Sri Lankan dinner which I was not expecting. This was due to me mentioning i was there as a birthday gift to myself. I felt so comfortable travelling there solo as a woman. Highly recommend this hotel. Loved the little library and peacocks on site. Even saw a crocodile pass in the lake.

Nothing I did not like

It was magical and very beautiful. Such a wonderful place to stay at.

beautiful hotel, serounded by an amazing nature Lake villa was fabulous stuff were welcoming and friendly, took care for everything

location is far from restaurants (not a bad thing but take this into account)

Beautiful resort Incredible view Amazing team

The best hotel to finished your trip! We saved this hotel for the end because his beauty and because we wanted hotel at the end that combined everything all in once, that way we could stay in the hotel without leaving hotel’s property. The hotel is outstanding! His beautiful, the rooms, the lake view, the infinity pool… basically everything!!!!!!!!!! The food is delicious, breakfast is wow, and the restaurant at night has so very special and delicious food!

Absolutely nothing

Excellent staff so friendly. good food, drinks & service.

Beautiful and peaceful. Loved everything about the place . From the manager to the room staff all were so friendly and great .
