The Theva Residency

本來訂的Grand，誰知道入住前被無理由取消了，真的很無語，然後當時在遊玩就衹好被迫換了這家，這家也就環境不錯，可是位置太偏，周邊啥也沒有，本來kandy就是山城，吃飯就不方便了，山頂其實看的整體景觀並不如我之前訂的，其實啥也看不到，因為出去吃飯路過，grand位置絕佳。房間設施老舊，房頂都牆皮起泡，服務還不錯，房價偏高，性價比不高。早餐也是點單的。

山上景色不錯，食物美味。

I have to say, I was blown away by Theva Residency. The winding roads leading to the hotel are a bit eyebrow raising, and even when you pull up to the driveway, it's still very unassuming. But we were immediately welcomed into what would become a highlight in our Sri Lanka trip. Theva Residency is a nicely adorned boutique property in the hills of Kandy. An easy 15-20 minute drive to Temple of the Tooth and Kandy city center proper. The service was warm, friendly, and genuine from the moment we checked in. We were assigned room 7, and it was a beautiful mountain facing room, that was exceptionally large. The bed was super comfortable, and the hotel had all of the major amenities you could need in the bathroom. What really sets Theva apart is their ability to be boutique, but have all of the bells and whistles of a luxury hotel. While we didn't use the pool, little touches like turn down service and someone bringing chocolates before bedtime were nice touches. The food was INCREDIBLE - we had the set menu for dinner and the options were fantastic, presentation was impeccable, and service was stellar. It also helps that this property has more staff than guests so they're always looking to enhance the experience. I was especially blown away by breakfast - a multi-course affair with a fresh fruit plate and bread basket to start. All of which were fresh and super tasty. Coffee your way - I asked for a regular drip (filtered) coffee and it was served in a French press! Theva is in a league of its own, and for someone who regularly stays at 5* luxury resorts, I was so incredibly surprised by how lovely this stay was. Would highlight recommend to anyone visiting Kandy and looking for a boutique / local stay with genuine care and service.

Though I always share this as a secret to a selected few.. Theva has been loved by many by now. The seasons have changed but the amazing food, ambience & Mr. Russell have not changed a bit. As always they were simply wonderful. I dined with my wife on her birthday & Theva made it all perfect. Thank you & wishing many more prestigious years dear Theva. #thevacuisine

What a gem of a find in the hills just outside of Kandy. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and from the moment we arrived we felt at home. Our room (14) was spotless and spacious, with a very comfortable bed and allowing incredible views across the landscape over the city. The food was terrific and would echo previous comments that you have to try the 17 dish Sri Lankan curry experience. The restaurant manager recommended we share between two and we’re very glad we did as the portion for one is huge! Compliments must go to the chef for the cuisine and to all the wonderful staff for their fantastic, helpful service.

Great, Great, Remote Hotel.....and OHHHH THE VIEWS! Great Food, friendly service. All around great visit for 3 days in the Penthouse. Totally enjoyed every minute. When heading to Kandy, make sure to look up Theva Residency. Highly recommended!! A+++

Our journey to Kandy was a long-waited family trip for few months. All were busy with their agendas and waiting to take a break. This time we selected Theva Residency, it was a perfect choice!!! An ideal location up in the mountains with an amazing view throughout the day. The uniqueness was you are able to enjoy the mountain view from your room, pool and the restaurant. The staff were exceptionally hospitable, and they always look for opportunities to anticipate our needs and exceed those. Food was excellent. A great location for Equilibrium and a fun filled holiday experience. We will definitely be back. Suranga, Tharanga , Thaviru and Vihansie

Staying at Theva was like going to a second home. You are made to feel at home from the time you arrive until the moment you leave. The staff are warm and friendly. The cuisine is exquisite. The view is breathtaking. I'll definitely go back to Theva.
