Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Fox Kandy offers guests a comfortable and scenic retreat, with many appreciating the clean, spacious rooms, some of which feature balconies offering valley views. The breakfast buffet stands out with its varied and delicious options, while the infinity pool and beautifully landscaped garden are also frequently praised. The hotel's location, while offering great views, is up a steep road and a bit outside of Kandy, which some guests noted requires reliance on tuk-tuks or taxis. Overall, many guests find the resort elegant and well-maintained, offering good value.

The room was clean and well appointed, I liked that. The laundry service was prompt and easy, what a plus. The spa experience was wonderful, it was so relaxing!
The hotel is far from shops. I think the addition of a mini bar is vital! There were no extra toiletries offered in the room, I needed to ask for them. The road to the hotel is long and winding, so you need to plan your day.

underwhelming stay, overpriced transport

beautiful viewsinflated pricestransportation issue
the location has beautiful views, i will give it that.
this hotel has a serious issue with transportation. it seems they have an arrangement with local taxi services that allows them to inflate prices significantly. i felt trapped, paying nearly ten times the usual rate for a ride into the city. also, the promised alternatives were not available, a real disappointment.

luxury resortfriendly staffisolated locationterrible food
I had a really nice time at the hotel. The pool is lovely. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They are amazing!!! The whole place reminded me of a luxury resort. The room was bright and clean. the beds were comfortable.
The hotel is isolated. When you check in, you need a driver or tuk-tuk to go to the center. I found the road very dangerous and uphill for 2k. The buffet food is terrible and served cold. I had to pay for the buffet, but my husband could not eat it.

I found the pool area to be a real highlight. I appreciated the amazing views from the pool. The rooms were very spacious and gorgeous. The staff were cute. That was really nice.
I was not happy about the lack of hand towels. I asked for them, but my request was not met. That was annoying! The breakfast choices were limited. Some of the food was too salty too.

the room had great views from the balcony , so i enjoyed that. the grounds are well tended. hands down the best shower i came across during my trip , so i liked that.
i had to downgrade this beautiful hotel because of design defects and sloppy management. the walkways from the guest rooms to the dining room and the front desk areas can be too steep for the elderly. kandy can get cold at night , but there is no provision for heating the room.

The rooms are spacious. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I appreciated the restaurant. Pizzas are made fresh and the sauce is delicious. My mum said it was the best pizza ever. I found Lahiru and Anuradha worked hard and was really nice for the guests.
