My stay at Amangalla was a mix of stunning experiences and frustrating moments. The hotel is absolutely beautiful with exceptional service, but I faced a significant issue with flying ants in my first room which impacted my comfort. The location is peaceful and feels like an escape, while the dining options were a highlight, especially the afternoon tea. Overall, it offers luxury but with some room for improvement in maintenance.
