My stay at Indra Manel Family Holiday Resort was a mixed experience. The beautiful view and the elegance of the pool were standout features, but I encountered some issues with the cleanliness of the bathroom and noise disturbances. Overall, it felt a little impersonal, yet the staff were very welcoming and attempted to provide a pleasant atmosphere.

The resort is a bit outside of Kandy, which I preferred as it feels more connected to nature. However, if you plan on drinking at night, it’s quite far from other establishments.

Located a bit outside the hectic city of Kandy, it provided a lovely escape into nature, particularly the nearby Knuckles Mountain range. Just a heads up, if you're looking for nightlife or dining, the closest options are a bit of a walk.

My stay at Indra Manel Family Holiday Resort was quite mixed. While I enjoyed the amazing views and the serene pool area, the hotel showed signs of age, and there were some cleanliness issues. Additionally, noise from a party kept me up at night, which was disappointing. Overall, it's a decent place if you're looking for tranquility outside the busy city of Kandy. 🌄🌊

I had a pleasant stay at Indra Manel Family Holiday Resort. The quiet location near the Knuckles Mountain range was a refreshing change from the busy city of Kandy, though at times, the resort felt a bit deserted. The staff was incredibly kind and made sure I felt welcome, especially with the lovely breakfasts served on the terrace by the pool. However, it did lack a certain charm and personality that I usually look for in accommodations.
