Very nice location, whic georgeous view on the tea plantations. Very clean property, out of the city.

The Argyle is a truly stunning 5-star hotel in Sri Lanka. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, the hotel offers immaculate, comfortable beds and rooms, that are 100% clean, top-notch dining, excursions, a heated pool and a very nice spa. Every detail, from the relaxing spa treatments we got to the warm and dedicated staff, flawless service at the restaurant pool and everywhere else, created a perfect stay. Celebrating New Year’s Eve here was unforgettable. The team hosted a wonderful party that made us feel truly special with fantastic ambiance, food, fireworks and lanterns. What sets The Argyle apart is its exceptional staff. A heartfelt thanks to Vithugash who was just amazing and truly made our stay, Suren and Rushi for expertly organizing our trip to Adam’s Peak and onward travel, and our fantastic driver, Nishan. There are many more to thank.. We could not be more happy with our stay!

You can judge a place by how you feel when you leave .. I didn’t want to leave .. well done everyone.. I’ll be back 🙏🏼

Very nice views, beautiful swimming pool, great food

Great location. Amazing view over the tea plantations. Excellent service, fantastic staff.

Amazing resort that is really entwined with nature. Not sure how it isn't more well known considering the value for money you get and the social mission the owner is on to improve livelihoods for local people in nearby villages. Whoever designed this place really has an eye for detail to allow you to experience luxury while still being immersed in the natural forest. We stayed in the balcony room and still have this amazing memory of sitting on the balcony (which is also equipped with a lovely ceiling fan, table and traditional chairs) during a rain storm and seeing the mist roll through the valley while listening to the sounds of the forest awoken by the rain. It was magical. The rooms are very clean and well maintained and I didn't see any critters which was hard to believe considering how close to the forest you are. There is a private track leading to a peaceful swimming hole in the nearby river which we had all to ourselves. Just me mindful of leeches if it's been raining. In regards to the food, we ordered a traditional rice and curry that wasn't actually on the menu but it was delicious. If you're Lankan or love spice, maybe just ask for local-level hot otherwise they will serve it mild. The service overall is very kind and attentive, proud to see this in Sri Lanka. Next time we will stay in the private villas as they look stunning with their private pools along with mini rivers running adjacent to the room. The magnificent Arberdeen waterfall is also a short tuk tuk drive away. I was a little worried in one review saying the place smelled overwhelming of Naphthalene but I didn't smell anything so maybe they changed something.

I felt safe as a female solo traveller. The view is gorgeous up there! The room with the balcony is amazing. It’s really clean and the man working there makes sure you have a comfortable stay. You shouldn’t mind walking a steep path for around 10min to get to the house.

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Thimaya in Hatton, and I must say, it was a perfect retreat into nature. From the moment I arrived, the ambiance of the hotel embraced me with its serene surroundings. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented with a traditional theme, exactly as I had requested. The room facilities surpassed my expectations; they were impeccably clean and thoughtfully prepared, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the room's design. What truly made my stay exceptional was the warm hospitality of the staff members. Their friendly demeanor and genuine care made me feel truly welcomed and at home. Thimaya is more than just a hotel; it's an experience that rejuvenates the soul and reconnects you with nature. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in the heart of nature."

Everything was perfect, a little oasis inside the tea plantations. The tea activity was so interesting. We had a beautiful time! The staff were so friendly!
