I had an okay stay at Oak Ray Elephant Lake, but it definitely didn’t feel like a 4-star experience. The room was spacious and quiet, but there were quite a few maintenance issues and some missed details that affected my comfort. The food was decent, though the isolation of the location made dining options a bit limited.

We had a lovely stay at Oak Ray Elephant Lake for two nights. The food was truly the best we’ve had during our travels in Sri Lanka, and the hospitality from the staff, especially Isuru Dilhan at the reception, was exceptional. However, the dining options for dinner could be more varied, and I did notice that the pools were a bit cloudy during our visit.

I had a great stay overall at this resort. The property is modern and well-equipped, especially the rooms which were clean and spacious. The hospitality from the staff was exceptional, and they went above and beyond for us, even preparing a personalized cake for a special occasion. However, we did encounter some frustrations with mosquitoes in our initial room, which led to a late-night room change. Despite that, I would still highly recommend this place for its comfort and service.
