I spent 3 days at River Arc and I had one of the best experiences in my life, Julie the manager was so supportive and addressed all our needs without any hesitation. Keerthi spent so much time taking us in the Jet Ski and we all had a great time. I would definitely come back again and thank you again for your great hospitality .
We had a lovely day out at River Arc. With regard to its location, and the privacy we were looking for, it was ideal for the family get-together we had. The meal served was very good and the service attentive and helpful. The lady who manages the place was very friendly and helpful.
We hosted our engagement function at this hotel and we are very satisfy about it. The food was outstanding, and the calm, beautiful environment provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. We had a fantastic time, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend!
We stayed two nights from 19 Oct to 21 Oct and had a pleasant and an enjoyable holiday.Beautiful serene environment. Neat, tidy and clean bedding and tasty food. Excellent customer service by the management and staff. Clean and well maintained pool and garden.We recommend this place to anyone who wants to spend a memorable holiday.
We had an amazing day for my daughter’s 1st birthday held in august with amazing customer service and management with the beautiful environment near the bolgoda. Foods also very delicious . The might be the greatest location for a family function in this area .
Visited River Arc for an evening get together and had a great experience. The staff was friendly and supportive. Food was good.The location is calm, quiet. Has a nice view of the Bolgoda Lake. Has the facilities for boat rides, and jet-ski ridding and the well maintained swimming pool too.Highly recommended for team outings and for hangups with friends or family.

Beautiful clean, tidy and well maintained hotel to spend a holiday with your family. We had a great time and staff and management very friendly and supportive. Food was delicious. Recommend to anyone who wants to spend a holiday.
We visited this location for a day outing and had an excellent experience. The staff members provided outstanding service, were friendly, and arranged everything as we requested. The manager (Lady) was also very friendly, supportive and flexible.The soup, bites, and buffet were delicious and well-prepared.The location was calm, quiet, and very clean.We arranged some team activities there, and the staff quickly organized what we needed and offered their support throughout the day.Based on our experience, we recommend this place for team outings and family gatherings.
DISASTEROUS EXPERIENCE.All these years I have written so many reviews in this forum. But this is the first time that I am downgrading one .(One can check my reviews)Today one of my friends arranged a birthday party for his son's 7th year birthday in this place. They have advanced a payment and booked the day from 3pm.But alas, the management had given the premises for a day outing group knowing the children's birthday party beforehand.That small space could not accommodate such two different crowds.The boozing party dragged around to 6 pm.About 15 small children waited three long hours for a swim and to run around the available small ground.Shamelessly, the manager gave so many reasons for her rescue.Innocent children unaware of the situation played for the allowed limited time.But as an adult I saw the embarrassing moment that my friend and his family encountered with and I felt so sorry for him.Anyone who is reading this, please be aware of this ruthless establishment.
Our team recently had a fantastic day out at River Arc Hotel, located near the serene Bolgoda Lake. The experience was nothing short of exceptional, and I am delighted to share our positive feedback.River Arc Hotel provided the perfect setting for our team building activities. We engaged in various games, including cricket and badminton, which were thoroughly enjoyable and fostered a sense of camaraderie among our team members. The calm and peaceful surroundings of Bolgoda Lake added to the overall relaxing atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for a retreat away from the hustle and bustle.The standout aspect of our experience was the exceptional service provided by the hotel management. From the very beginning, the manager was incredibly helpful and friendly. She was attentive to our needs and ensured that everything was arranged smoothly. Her proactive approach and warm demeanor made the planning process and the day itself stress-free and enjoyable.Based on our wonderful experience, I highly recommend River Arc Hotel to anyone seeking a tranquil environment with excellent service. Whether it's for team building activities, a day out with friends or family, or simply a peaceful retreat, River Arc Hotel is the perfect choice. The helpful and friendly staff will ensure that your visit is memorable and enjoyable.Overall, we had a great day at River Arc Hotel and look forward to returning in the future!
Worst place I have ever been to (With regards to the service) The so called Management ruined our day. There were a few people gathering and one of our guests bought a pizza without knowing that no outside food is allowed on their 'Luxury Suite' and screamed at our guest for bringing outside food even though he was apologizing and reported us to the police the other day. This is not made up, if you are going there please be cautious of the management. They might ruin your day next. Always have your cameras ready if you get in to a fight.
I would have rated minus if i had the options. The manager’s hospitality was terrible from the start of our visit. She tried to hit one of my friend who didn’t know outside food isn’t allowed and made a huge scene with the delivery guy. At first, we said “okay, we’ll leave the food inside the vehicle” but she just wanted to ruin our stay. Then again which villa doesn’t allow outside food. They didn’t allow us to bring alcohol. I had few of my friends come in and she made a huge scene out of it as well ps: we booked the family suite which allows us to bring additional guest. Our stay got worse till the end. We couldn’t enjoy our stay since she started off in a bad foot.
Weird and rude manager, makes up "rules" on the spot and berates guests for not following them (no documentation or sign posts presented about said "rules") and disrespects guests forcing us to listen to her nonsense.Reviews reflecting our experience at the location is met with calls from the police asking us to come down to the station.I'd say nice location if there were proper parking available.The management however, is undoubtedly trash.
The best place to enjoy, we arrived on 30th July for day out at River Arc. Food and environment are so great. We enjoyed a lot at the pool and the environment. And foods are so delicious. Also, the manager lady was amiable and helpful to us to enjoy our day. Further, they provided karaoke mics and setups to enjoy our day. Highly recommended place to spend your day out.
We had a corporate gathering in here and it turns out the best decision we made. The staff were really helpful, kind, friendly and flexible. Based on the plan & expectations we had, they arranged everything in the best way. The best thing is in the time of event we had over full freedom because the place was not welcomed for outsiders. The environment was really calm, cool, clean & the view was absolutely gorgeous. Even we didn’t overnight they offered us the best quality rooms for our guests. And about the food, that was amazing and we are highly appreciated that they arranged live stations as we requested. Overall all of our guests love the place & service they offered us. This was a great place for events, gatherings & overnights as well. Highly recommended them.
Great place to stay. Lovely rooms and view of lake. We really enjoyed the food and had fun in the pool. Very atttentive staff who reached out after we left items behind. Would love to come again 🙂
We booked this venue yesterday for our son's birthday party, and it turned out to be an excellent choice for a day out. The environment was incredibly clean and serene, complemented by a friendly and accommodating staff. They were very flexible with our schedule, which made everything easier. The food served was absolutely delicious, adding to the enjoyment of our time with family and friends. Our children especially loved the pool access and playing in the beautifully maintained garden area. Overall, it was a delightful experience for everyone
This is a really nice place for a family outing. They hospitality was really good. Rooms can have fans as the AC takes time to cool.
We gathered at this location for a family get together and it was a lovely place with great service from all the staff members. The place was clean, calm and food was also nice and worth the price. Would like if the room had a fan also until the AC turns in to its full capacity.All in all a good experience and highly recommend for a stay or small functions.

Lovely place to hangout... Was not crowded when visited, we had the entire place for ourselves cause its not so famous yet. Food serving got a lot late cause they had to prepare them from scratch. Food was ok but now wow. On average bit higher price compared to other closeby known places. Good for out door functions
We booked the place for a batch get together and stayed 1 night. The location is beautiful and the staff were efficient. The foosball table was a big plus. The entertainment system in the luxury suite was good.Food was average but not worth the amount we paid for. The staff refused to switch on the fairy lights by the lake when we were dining as it was considered an additional cost.We were not given towels when using the pool and were told that they would be charging 250 per towel. The manager said that we were upgraded to the luxury suite free of charge but the air con wasn’t working properly. Other than that the suite was well Maintained. Have mixed feelings about our stay
On November 21st, my family and I indulged in a delightful holiday retreat at River Arc.The rooms were clean, the food was delicious, and the manager and staff were really nice. I wholeheartedly recommend this haven to anyone seeking a memorable holiday escape.
I stayed in this beautiful villa with my wife on 23rd and the lady manager offered us a good package. Food was delicious and served on time. Staff was friendly. Well maintained property. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and recommend this place to anyone who'd like to spend a holiday. Thank you Manger and staff you amazed us with your kind and friendly hospitality
Beautiful Villa. Great hospitality. Value for money. Exceptional service from Manager and the staff. Tasty food. Highly recommend.
We had an incredible stay at River Arc! There are tonnes of things to but we especially enjoyed the Foosball Table and the Jetski! The Villa location is perfect for a quick weekend gateway or even a daycation which is exactly what we needed after a hectic week. The Villa was so beautiful and the suites were just lovely! We also loved that the pool. It overlooked the Bolgoda lake making it a great place to sit by the pool and have our evening Tea!The staff was exceptional. We loved the food, we would definitely recommend the Hot butter cuttlefish. It was just Yum!. It was the perfect place for a long overdue holiday with family and friends. Thank you River Arc and all staff. We will definitely be back again soon! 😍

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel for a corporate training session, and I must say that my experience was exceptional.

He even provided us with his personal phone charger, which was greatly appreciated.I would also like to express my gratitude towards Mr. Edward for his attentiveness and professionalism during our stay.

The time period I spent at river arc with my family was awesome. We were able to make many memories with my family. I can never find such wonderful food which we had there and I’m truly grateful to receive such an amazing hospitality services which I’ve never experienced before. My teenagers were truly satisfied with all the entertaining facilities they’ve provided for us such as jet-skies, boat rides and all day long they enjoyed their time engaging in them, that they did not even wanted to leave the place as we go.The best thing about choosing this place as your temporary habitat is because it’s closer to the highway and closer to many of the shopping malls too. So I highly recommend this place to you’ll to stay during your trip to Sri Lanka as a person who’s received an amazing service from them.
Everything was great at this hotel.amazing staff that is friendly and makes customers feel welcome and They also were able to recommend everything what we needed for our event.Mr.Dileepa was very friendly and he gave us a lot of ideas to success our day.and,foods also very delicious .highly recommended.

The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, helping us to make the event truly special. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was very romantic. Everything was perfect and I would highly recommend River Arc to anyone looking for a romantic setting to celebrate a special occasion.
This place is ideal for parties and get together. It's a private property that has been converted into a small hotel and the reception hall. Staff is very friendly and well trained to handle customers very well and they made our function a very happy one for us.
It’s a reality nice place to visit with your loved ones ❤️ we really enjoyed the view and their service too.. The staff was really supportive. The food was delicious 🤤 . We highly recommend River Arc to everyone ❤️ 🌴Good luck specially Mr. Hemantha and the staff ..
We had a family/friends get together at Riverarc on my short visit to Sri Lanka last month.I think the hotel management has done a great job creating beautiful villa near the romantic Bolgoda Lake.They have done justice to this fascinating site.Rooms were spacious and bathrooms were lavishly done.Surely they could beat most of the Five Stars in Colombo.I was particularly impressed with friendly staff who did everything for us to feel homely.I am planning a longer stay @ Riverarc next year.
After very long time we found a very beautiful and awesome location in panadura. we were so impressed.foods are so delicious and menu was so perfect and matching Very good service given by the staff from top to bottom....

A fantastic stay at the River Arc.Beautiful location, bright and nice rooms.Good food, with a sense of quality.An absolutely wonderful and good service by the staff.I can recommend this place.
River Arc is the best Villa area i have been to.All the rooms have a perfect view, some to the river/lake, others can go right outside on a grass area to look at the view of the garden. We went as a big group of a family and had different rooms. All of them were clean and comfortable. We even got an extra bed to our room, which the sweet staff installed for us. The pool was enjoyable too and very pretty at the night when the lights were on.The staff was the best! They were so nice and kind. They covered all of our needs and was always giving their best. They always asked us if we needed anything and even encouraged us to put some music on the speaker and gave us a mic to sing karaoke on, which our family really enjoyed. They even agreed to play games with mostly the kids.Now the food was on a whole other level. Their barbeque was so tasty, and we really enjoyed them making it outside in front of us while we sat at the table under the lights. They made our menu so good, worth the money.Thank you, River Arc, for an extraordinary experience and opportunity.
Great location and rooms. The property was also very stunning. Staff were super friendly and had superb customer service. River Arc is definitely one of the best, if not the best place in Panadura. Definitely will be back again!
