We loved our stay at this property. We were lucky enough to reserve a suite with jacuzzi tub which really made the stay a unique one -- being able to watch the evening thunderstorms from the large picture windows and enjoy wine in the tub was super special. The pool was very nice and the sauna was a great way to relax. The food was always delicious. I even asked for their homemade jam/marmalade to take home.
But I cannot say enough about the staff, who were over-the-top amazing. While we provided some individual staff tips, at the end of the stay we left a sizeable tip with the manager to share with the whole staff and hope that it was distributed as requested. We just adored our time there and felt truly cared for from breakfast to dinner and everything in between.

What sets this apart from the others is the outstanding staff and the amazing food.
The staff are really knowledgeable about the local area and made our two days in Kandy totally worth our while. They also went above and beyond during our stay whenever we needed anything, regardless of rhe request.
The chefs at this place are insane. The food that was presented was so creative and made the meals so inviting to eat. The taste of the food eclipses the presentation as well which really makes it a match made in heaven.
Throw in the pool, spa and sauna and you really have all you could ask for
Would highly recommend to anyone as it is well worth the money!

We had such a wonderful time at Theva residency. I have stayed all over the world and the combination of beautiful surroundings, food, luxury, and service made this perhaps my favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at. It is modern, has a breathtaking view, the rooms are unique, beautiful and luxurious. And the people are the best. Russell’s staff spent every minute of every day working to keep us delighted. I can’t imagine a better hotel in this country. Also, the best restaurant in the province and one of the best in the country is basically your private kitchen.

Incredible restaurant patio and pool area. The manager was extremely helpful, went out of his way to arrange us last-second transport to the train station.
Location is both advantage and disadvantage depending what you’re looking for. Somewhat removed above the town.

It was a great three day stay. Unfortunately, there was a mix up on the last day with transportation that the hotel had arranged. We ended up in a car with a driver who didn't know where they were going and didn't speak English. This left us with a sour experience with Theva. Plus, certain details weren't shared with us at check in, like that breakfast was included. Overall, good stay, great food, just need to follow through on things.
