This place is an absolute beaut! Impressive architectural ideas of Geoffrey Bawa to his master mind of immersing nature to feel bliss of a powerful vibrance of a wonderful ecosystem is truly marvelous. We stayed at the Bawas Guest room and there are a few types of other rooms in different areas you should try. This place deserves at least a two-nights stay or more. There are free walking tours three times a day and highly recommend taking one. The tours are organized by the Geoffrey Bawa fund and Teardrop hotel maintains a remarkable operation keeping the peace and calmness of the property. 10 out of 5 stars
