My stay at Yasmin Hill Longevity Resort was absolutely amazing. The location perched high in the Kandyan hills provided stunning views and the chance to immerse myself in nature. The room in the Deluxe Air villa was spacious with a massive balcony that was perfect for watching sunrises. However, I found the dining options sometimes leaned toward heavier, less healthy fare, which was a letdown given the serene surroundings.

My stay at Yasmin Hill Longevity Resort - Hotel Galavilla was truly magical. The amazing views over the mountains and the lush surroundings made for a serene escape, although the winding roads to get there can be a bit challenging. The service was really good but I did experience longer wait times for meals, which is something to consider when planning outings. All in all, I found it to be a good boutique hotel that I'd love to revisit.
