For the fourth consecutive year Ceylon Tea Trails has been selected as one of the top ‘All Inclusive’ resorts in the world by travellers reviewing at TripAdvisor.com http://bit.ly/TeaTrails
Following close on the heels of the two awards it won in 2011, Ceylon Tea Trails has surpassed itself in the 2012 awards by moving into the top 5 “All Inclusive” resorts in the world. It also managed to attain the accolade of 2nd spot for “All Inclusive” resorts in the Asia region.
We’re not talking run of the mill “All Inclusive” here – rates include made to order gourmet meals, fine wines & premium spirits, worthy of the first and only Relais & Chateaux resort in Sri Lanka.
Ceylon Tea Trails is an award winning collection of four colonial era tea plantation managers’ bungalows that have been painstakingly restored to their original glory and offer guests an unmatched glimpse into a by-gone era. Set among lush Ceylon tea estates, in the picturesque Bogawantalawa valley in the hill country, Ceylon Tea Trails is the world’s first tea bungalow resort connected by walking and biking trails. Tea Trails will teach you everything you need to know about the perfect brew. Guests are absorbed into life on a working tea estate, whilst revelling in five-star luxury. The focus has always been on service and exquisite gourmet cuisine with an emphasis on fine local produce. Each bungalow is equipped with a Manager, Butler, Chef and team of staff. The exceptional service and food paved the way for Ceylon Tea Trails attaining the prestigious Relais and Chateaux status.
Recent extracts from typical reviews of Tea Trails at TripAdvisor.com say: “Most magical place in the World… one of the most special places I have ever stayed, anywhere”... “Loved it so much the first time that we came back a year later and did it all again”...”We thought we’d died and gone to heaven!”...”Tea Trails almost persuaded me to move to Sri Lanka.” Commenting on the awards, Dominique Nordmann, CEO of Forbes & Walker Leisure, which manages Ceylon Tea Trails said: “I am extremely thankful to the guests who took time to express their appreciation of Tea Trails through TripAdvisor. It is great honour to be nominated for the 4th consecutive year among the best hotels in the world. This was achieved because of the dedication and hard work of the entire Ceylon Tea Trails team and constant enthusiasm and motivation to deliver a highly personalised experience to all our guests.”
