5/5 - Unforgettable New Year’s Experience! Cinnamon Life is a game-changer in the Sri Lankan hospitality scene, and our New Year’s celebration there was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, the luxurious ambiance and friendly staff made us feel special. The food? Absolutely top-tier, with flavors that tantalized our taste buds. The poolside open nightclub was an absolute highlight—a perfect blend of vibrant energy, stunning views, and world-class entertainment. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to make the night truly magical. If you’re seeking an unparalleled escape with style, elegance, and unforgettable experiences, Cinnamon Life is the place to be. I can’t wait to return! #CinnamonLife #LuxuryInColombo #SriLankaHospitality #NewYear2025

Exceptional and unique. Service and cleanliness was impeccable. The room itself is very spacious, and at a comfortable temperature despite the heat outside. Piyanth, our host, was friendly and accomodating. Highly recommended - the sort of experience you will not find in any hotel or resort. We were pleasantly surprised, and the very high rating is well deserved.

I recently stayed at Ara by Colombo Villas and it was an incredible experience. It's right in the city, so everything is super convenient, yet the place is amazingly peaceful and quiet. The villa is beautiful, with lovely gardens and stylish interiors. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, making it easy to relax after a busy day. The staff were wonderful—really friendly and always ready to help. If you're looking for a perfect blend of city life and tranquility, I can't recommend Ara by Colombo Villas enough!
