Family Sri Lanka Holidays
Sri Lanka has the magic formula when it comes delivering the perfect family holiday. Most families relish the opportunity to spend a day at the beach and Sri Lanka is blessed with hundreds of miles of golden sandy expanses, with crystal blue waters and swaying palms. Natural harbours, glistening lagoons and enchanting coral reefs are just some of the attractions for eager families to explore. Whether you want some traditional sandcastle-building sessions or the chance to climb aboard a banana boat for a thrilling ride, Sri Lanka has it all. Among the most beautiful beaches are Uppuveli, Mirissa, Arugam Bay, Hiriketiya, Unawatuna and Alankuda. There’s so much for families to see and do – gaze in awe at roaming elephants, explore magical cave temples, soar above the jungle in a hot air balloon or snorkel beneath the waves to discover a myriad of marine life on the coral reefs. Children will be captivated by the wildlife in Yala, Minneriya and Willpattu national parks – elephants, leopards, rare sloth bears, wild buffalo, pangolins, crocodiles are just some of the amazing creatures there. There’s also birds aplenty with crested hawk eagles, lesser flamingos, paradise flycatchers and black bitterns, to name just a few. Sri Lanka’s luxurious family-friendly hotels are also havens of fun with kids clubs, huge swimming pools with waterslides and fabulous programmes of evening entertainment. The island also has its share of water parks, amusement parks and nature parks– of special note is Guruge Nature Park, the island’s first theme park which combines an avalanche of water fun with a tribute to the history of Sri Lanka. If you decide to immerse yourself in the culture of this awe-inspiring island there’s no shortage of magnificent landmarks to visit including, Gangaramaya Temple, Galle Dutch Fort, Rawana Falls, Jami Ul-Afar Mosque, Dambulla Royal Cave Temple and Independence Square in the capital Columbo.

We had a recent stay at the Occidental Eden Beruwala. The location is a real highlight – the hotel has a beautiful beach, offering stunning views. The hotel itself has a unique and beautiful design. We found the staff to be consistently friendly and helpful, which was very much appreciated. The large, clean pool was also excellent and perfect for relaxing.
However, there were some noticeable downsides. The buffet lacked variety, and frankly, the food just wasn't that tasty. More frustratingly, especially since we booked a premium room, basic amenities like toothbrushes and toothpaste were missing. For the price point of a premium room, we absolutely expected these essentials to be provided.
Overall, the beautiful beachfront location, unique design, friendly staff, and great pool make for a pleasant stay. But the limited and mediocre food options, combined with the surprising lack of basic toiletries in our premium room, definitely let the experience down. Addressing these points would make the hotel much better value.

We visited this hotel to celebrate our anniversary, and overall, it was a lovely experience. This has easily become one of my favorite hotels from the beautiful interior design to the outstanding customer service and cleanliness, everything was well maintained and thoughtfully managed.
Initially, we were a bit disappointed as the room we received through our Booking.com reservation came with a “roof view,” which didn’t quite meet our expectations for a special occasion. However, once we spoke to the receptionist, they were incredibly understanding and accommodating. They promptly upgraded us to a room with a stunning pool view, which completely turned things around I absolutely loved it!
The food was also a highlight fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every meal was a treat, and it really enhanced the entire stay. The staff were genuinely friendly, always smiling and ready to help, which made us feel truly welcomed.
Maintenance throughout the hotel was also excellent —everything was clean, well-kept, and functioning perfectly.
I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Suresh Khemka
Great location. The hotel is a bit old so Rooms have not quite modern, but the location compensated for it completely. The staff is very courteous and welcoming. Would love to visit again. The private beach is beautiful and easily accessible. The pool is also great. They had less vegetarian options when we arrived but staff ensured that we had a good number of choices for rest of our stay.
yashodara Jayasundara
Occidental Eden is one of the best hotels to stay at and comes highly recommended. The location is excellent, offering easy access to nearby attractions and beautiful surroundings. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with a smile, making the stay even more enjoyable. The food at the hotel restaurant was delicious with a good variety of local and international options. I’m happy to recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing, calm, and memorable experience. Whether you're traveling for leisure or business, Occidental Eden is a perfect choice ❤️❤️
Lineth Jayasinghe
What a wonderful experience. we just came for one night. but definitely hope to come back. Staff is really attentive. Specifically eashani. She came with a lovely smile and ask everything is perfect or not. Food range is good. Would definitely recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5/5 - A Truly Memorable Getaway at Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon.
I recently stayed at Hikka Tranz and had a truly delightful experience. Their hospitality is exceptional, from the moment I arrived, I felt like every guest was treated as their most important one. The staff are genuinely friendly, attentive, and warm, which made a big difference throughout my stay.
The food was great, especially the breakfast and lunch buffets, which were well-varied and flavorful. Dinner was decent, but the earlier meals stood out more for me.
One of the biggest highlights was the stunning beachfront view, absolutely breathtaking. I spent hours relaxing by the beach without any disturbance, soaking in the calm atmosphere. The pool area is also beautifully maintained, and swimming under the stars at night was such a peaceful and calming experience.
As for the rooms, they were comfortable and clean, though not quite 5-star level. Linens and amenities were just okay, so I’d rate the rooms around 3.5 to 4 stars.
Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay and loved the unique charm of this hotel. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to unwind by the beach with great service and a vibrant atmosphere.
Yugeeth Damsuka
I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Best One! The rooms were very comfortable. The staff was incredibly friendly throughout my visit. The location is convenient, with easy access to the beach Breakfast was fresh and had a good variety. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean and cozy place to stay!
Sajith Naveen
This was my second visit to Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon, and once again, it didn’t disappoint! The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with a large swimming pool and a spacious garden area that’s perfect for relaxing. The sea view is stunning, and the long beach right in front of the hotel adds to the charm.
The rooms are very big, clean, and comfortable — ideal for a peaceful stay. The buffet for lunch, dinner, and breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of dishes and very tasty food throughout.
The room service and reception staff were extremely friendly and helpful, making my stay even more pleasant. I received great service from everyone.
Overall, everything was perfect for me, and I was really happy to return for a second time. Looking forward to visiting again soon!
Uncontrollabelle
Visited early June. Courteous reception
and check in. Rooms and public areas were clean and decor was tasteful. Nice bathroom. Tasty food with a wide selection. Impressive level of service. Staff were always available and attentive. Beach was lovely, with the reef on one side and a sandy stretch for swimming on the other. What more could you ask for?
Boris Ruwe
Big hotel located right on turtle beach. All rooms as far as we know have sea view, so don't pay extra for that. There is a free pool with food and cocktail bar available. Activities to do are table tennis, volleyball, fitness, squash and some board games. The pool is accessible to the public but there are guards at every entrance so you are completely safe

We had a fantastic stay at Club Dolphin! The food was absolutely great, with plenty of variety to choose from. There was something to suit every taste at each meal. Even though the hotel was quite busy, there was so much space that it never felt crowded. The large pool, playgrounds, and access to the beach offered plenty of options for relaxation and fun.
The buffet was well-organized and delicious, and indoor sports facilities added a nice touch for those looking to stay active. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable stay. Overall, a well-rounded experience perfect for families and anyone looking to unwind with good food and great amenities.
Shashikala Sathsarani
I had a wonderful stay at Club Hotel Dolphin – relaxing, enjoyable, and truly memorable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and check-in was smooth. My room was clean, spacious, and had a lovely balcony view.
The pool area was a highlight – one of the biggest I’ve seen, perfect for lounging or swimming. The beach was peaceful and well-kept. I also really enjoyed the buffet with its variety of fresh, tasty food and live cooking stations.
There were fun daily activities and shows, but also plenty of quiet spots to unwind. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I’d gladly return or recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway.
Katie Brewin
We had two adjoining rooms on the ground floor for our family, meaning we were able to go straight out to the pool, which was perfect for us. The hotel was very clean and tidy, although one of our rooms did smell slightly of cigarette smoke. The food was tasty and fresh with a good selection of drinks in the all inclusive. The pools are great, nice and warm and plenty of areas for the young ones. Hotel is on the beach front, though the sea was too rough to go in whilst we were there.
It’s a bit out of the way of the main town so all inclusive was a good option. Service was generally good, except we did struggle a little at check in as it was so busy due to a national holiday.

We had an unforgettable stay at Club Hotel Dolphin! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The pool area is huge and spotless, and the beachfront location is absolutely stunning. We especially enjoyed the buffet – the variety and flavor were exceptional, with lots of local and international options.
Special thanks to [insert name if applicable] from the front desk for going above and beyond to make our anniversary special.
The rooms were clean, spacious, and offered a beautiful view. Every day was filled with fun – from the evening entertainment to the relaxing spa.
We highly recommend Club Hotel Dolphin to anyone looking for a perfect mix of relaxation and excitement. We'll definitely return!
Thishani Wijayaratne
Great experience.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner was excellent.
Meals were very tasty and a good selection in the buffet.
Rooms were comfortable with good AC, beds and supplies.
The hot water in the shower was going cold and hot from time to time while set to hot water (this was the only minor inconvenience).
Pool was excellent, very big and spacious and beautifully constructed.
The hotel is placed facing the beach and had a beautiful view.
All in all, it was a great experience.
Thank you.

An Unforgettable Stay!
Our stay was truly memorable and amazing. The entire experience was unforgettable! The staff were exceptionally friendly, everything was clean and tidy, and the food was absolutely delicious.
I must especially mention Sathsarani from reception and Lakmal from Chatters Bar — they were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional throughout our stay. Their warm service really made a difference. Highly recommended!
Nipun Siyambalapitiya
Right from the check in we were blown away by the level of hospitality shown by the staff. We were welcome grandly. We reserved a deluxe family room and the room was a real treat. It had ample space for the 4 of us with all the necessary amenities. The room was really beautiful as well. They had a pair of bunk beds on the side which was quite a unique feature. The room had a nice smart tv and a very good wifi connection. We were treated with a nice sea view in the room as well.
The food was absolutely delicious. The buffets had a good spread and variety and the chefs had outdone themselves with the food.
It consisted of two beautiful large swimming pools which were really well maintained and were refreshing. They had a pool table, carrom board and a lot of board games to keep ourselves occupied.
All in all it was one of the best hotels that we have ever visited.
Mayumi Senanayake
I stayed at Thaala Bentota Resort for just one night, and it was truly a delightful experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel welcome. The check-in process was smooth and efficient.
The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with a stunning view of the ocean. The bed was very comfortable, and we had all the amenities we needed for a short but relaxing stay. The resort grounds are lush and well-maintained, creating a peaceful and tropical atmosphere.
We had dinner at the resort’s restaurant, and the food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and served with great hospitality. Breakfast the next morning and Lunch offered a good variety and was equally enjoyable.
Though our stay was short, we managed to take a quick walk along the beach and dip into the lovely pool before checking out. It was the perfect escape from the city, even if just for one night.
Highly recommend Thaala Bentota for anyone looking for a quick and relaxing beach getaway. Would definitely return for a longer stay next time!
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Sanda Udu
We stayed for one night and had a great experience.
The room was spacious and well-equipped with excellent facilities. The staff service was outstanding—especially from the front office and housekeeping teams.
The food was delicious, with a great variety and well-arranged presentation.
The surroundings were beautiful, offering plenty of great photo spots.
While the beach is not ideal for swimming,
it still adds to the scenic atmosphere.
Overall, we highly recommend this place for both friends and family.
Ranujitha Niman
Had a wonderful stay at Thaala Bentota Hotel. The food was delicious, with a great variety at both the buffet and the restaurant. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and caring, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The hotel itself is set in a beautiful environment and looks amazing — especially with the artistic touches in the design by late Geoffrey Bawa. The amenities were very good, spacious and well kept rooms and the pool was fantastic. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it!

We stayed a night yesterday. The staff was very friendly and caring. Swimming pool is very attractive and good enough to have fun by all (swimmers and non-swimmers). You can access the beach but be carefull. Police Life Saving officers are located there. Food was also with good spread. We would love to stay with them again. Recommend to others.

My two-day stay at Hotel Thurya was truly unforgettable. Everything exceeded expectations—starting from the warm hospitality to the beautiful ambiance. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and elegantly designed, offering a sense of luxury and relaxation. The view from the hotel was absolutely stunning, creating the perfect backdrop of the Indian ocean for a peaceful getaway. The food was exceptional—delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. I would give the service full marks, as the staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. We had a fantastic time and would definitely return. Highly recommended for anyone seeking comfort and quality in a serene setting.
SHEVONI MADUSHIKA
Overall, we had a pleasant stay at this hotel.
It’s a calm and relaxing place with a friendly atmosphere, beautifully themed in pink. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained. One of the standout features was the centralized control panel for the lights, fan, and air conditioning—definitely a plus point!
And the view? Absolutely breathtaking. The ocean view from our room was simply “wow.”
We initially reserved a triple room but were given a double room instead. Once we informed the staff, they arranged the room accordingly. However, the complimentary kits, tea tray set, and other amenities were only provided for two people, which was a bit disappointing.
The staff were friendly and supportive, though a bit inefficient. Despite booking through their official website, we had to wait almost 40 minutes to complete the check-in process.
The buffet offered a decent variety of food, and the taste was quite good.

A lovely place with good food and great location. I loved the water sports and other activities that we could take part in. However, it was too crowded when we went, had to stand and wait for 15-20 min until plates stacked during buffet times. It felt like they were unable to handle the crowd. However, the food was great ! I didn’t enjoy the lunch that much, but rest of the meals were great. I would come again when there is a less crowd for sure

It was truly a pleasure to experience such exceptional hospitality. The comfortable accommodations and attentive service made the stay memorable. Every interaction with the staff was pleasant and welcoming. The dedication to guest satisfaction was evident throughout the visit. Thank you for creating such a positive experience. Special thanks to waruna in concierge who made our booking and take care us being so helpful to us. A huge spread of foods and Beverages.i will recommend this hotel for everyone. Thanks again NH.

Fantastic Family Stay at Centara Ceysands!
We just had an amazing family trip to Centara, and it was perfect! The kids' pool was a huge hit – spacious and super fun for the little ones. The main pool was also just right.
What really stood out was the service. Need coffee powder or water? It arrived at our door almost instantly, a speed you rarely see. Plus, the receptionist, Amasha was incredibly helpful from the moment we checked in.
Centara truly shines with its excellent pools and incredibly fast, attentive service. We can't wait to go back!
YOGENDRAN MATHUSHANGAR
A wonderful stay at a truly memorable hotel!
This hotel is in a beautiful location—set on a tiny island, which adds a unique charm. You’ll need a small boat to reach it, and that itself felt like part of the experience. We stayed in the family suite, which was spacious, clean, and perfect for relaxing. Our child really enjoyed the stay!
The long swimming pool was great, and the beach—as always in Bentota—was stunning. The highlight for us was definitely the food. Despite low occupancy during our stay, the hotel provided buffet meals twice and a lovely set menu for lunch. Everything was fresh and delicious.
The service stood out—staff were extremely friendly, always smiling and ready to help. It’s a very kid-friendly resort, with plenty of organized activities, a kids' play area, and options for boating with all the necessary facilities.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Great food, warm hospitality, and a relaxing atmosphere made it a stay to remember. Highly recommended for families!
Tharindi Dissanayake
Went here once with my friends and stayed one night full board basis. It was a really unique and memorable experience. When we went to the location they took us to the hotel in a boat. We went across the Bentota river to reach the hotel. Then we checked in. They have few shops around the hotel. Jewelry, clothing and etc. They had a bar and we tried some drinks in the evening they were really good. All three buffets were good. Had wide varieties of food and all very delicious. Really we had nothing to complain about the place. They offer a boat ride which goes through Bentota river and if the weather is good goes to the sea also. There are crocodiles and thats one reason to go. You can spot one definitely. Boat ride is really beautiful. Nice experience. My friends and I really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend this place!

We went to royal palms beach hotel for a staff day-out a couple of months ago. Since it was a large crowd we got two rooms to use which was good since we all had a dip in the pool before lunch. Since this is my 3rd time visiting the hotel I must say I still love their food. They have a hood variety of meat options which I love. And the desserts were good too. The pool
is amazing and having a pool bar is really nice. Staff were very attentive and friendly. The hotel is immaculate with old fashioned artifacts which gave it a royal vibe. Overall the experience was quite nice. Hopefully I will be back there soon.

A very well maintained hotel, every detail is thought through.
Great service by the staff who are so very welcoming and always have a smile on their faces.
Amazing pool with a bar and jacuzzi in it.
Food is super and the buffet is the best in the south.
The rooms are spacious and very clean!

Went for a day out at this hotel and their hospitality was amazing. The staff was well mannered and helpful. Had their special easter lunch buffet which had a good spread and items were tasty, specially the dessert bar. Their pool was one of the largest I have been to in SL and it's the main attraction. Overall I had a wonderful experience.
Shalika Ariyawansa
The restaurant staff in Royal Palms Beach hotel is the most rude and inefficient staff I have ever seen. When I was helping my 81 years old mother to serve food from the buffet, one of them was insisting repeatedly to make it quick as much as possible as the buffet was closed by 3.00 pm. He did not understand it was rude. I think this kind of people are ruining the hotel industry. On another note, the restaurant staff is highly inefficient. When they were requested something ( water, finger bowl etc? they did not pay any attention to fulfilling it at their earliest convenience. We had to keep on reminding them repeatedly. As non of them bothered to provide a finger bowl despite repeated requests I decided to go and find a tap water to wash my hands. This was experienced during my recent stay on 14 th April 2025. I don’t recommend this hotel to anyone. This hotel is not worth the money we pay. I left a comment on their guest feedback book on my departure with my name and room number. However it seems that the hotel management does not care about them and taking necessary steps to correct their highly unprincipled behavior

Hotel in great spot right on the beach. We used this hotel as an overnight hotel on our way to Maldives and also as the starting point for our tour around Sri Lanka. There are two pools and direct access to the beach at the rear of the hotel. The rooms are a little dated but clean and have views of the beach. The buffet breakfast and dinners were very good and snacks were available from the bar menu. All of the staff were great and they let us store some luggage there whilst we were in the Maldives. Lots of shops and restaurants within easy walking distance also. Patchy weak wifi.

Patricia Thananayagam
The food is the best I've tasted in a long time. You wouldn't get a spread like the main stream hotels but what's made is fresh and flavourful. Had all the varieties of seafood so you don't miss much. Looking forward to going there again.

We had a lovely 10 days at Goldi sands from 18/April . ALL the staff were friendly and helpful and I was surprised with both balloons in our room on arrival and a birthday cake at dinner for my 70th birthday. We have no complaints at all other than maybe a bit of updating in the room needed. But they were spotlessly clean.. Also we have to praise our tour guide Sudarshan who went out of his way to make our stay in Sri Lanka so special. We highly recommend him.

The entire experience was good and we loved it overall, however, we would not come back. Why? No info about the rooms or overall hotel. The rooms were a little strange. The lighting is hidden behind little panels which you need to discover - we didn't discover these for several hours. The rooms are also very dark. Dark furniture and colour scheme, dark rug and subdued lighting. The controls on the shower are different to anything we had seen before and it was hard to get the right temperature. It was either cold or hot. We could not find the gym and only discovered the beach side bar by chance.
We had a small injury and while the staff tried hard they had no real first aid training and their kits were not equipped. We were here in the off season and not everything was available. We tried calling reception about something and no-one answered.
While the location is wonderful for access to the National Park, there is nothing else. No shopping, no other choice for dining.

Our room was very spacious, well-designed, and complete with a private balcony offering beautiful uninterrupted views of the beach. The hotel reception area was also breathtaking and felt very special. There is a lot of wildlife surrounding the hotel - but you are unable to walk on the beach at dusk due to wild animals.
However, while the property itself was beautiful, the service fell short of the five-star experience we expected and as advertised by the hotel. Upon check-in, the staff handed us our keys and simply waved us to follow a long hallway to our room rather than escorting us directly there and showing us around our room. We didn’t mind the walk itself (which took about five minutes, as we timed it), but the lack of attentiveness and warmth felt a bit underwhelming for a hotel of this caliber.
A more disappointing moment occurred when we woke up at 5 a.m. to leave for a safari and asked the man at reception for two bottles of water to bring with us. We were told that water was unavailable unless we had "pre-ordered" it the night before. We were never informed of this requirement, and when we asked if water could be arranged from elsewhere in the hotel, the staff member simply shrugged and told us there was nothing they could do. Given that providing water to guests is a basic request, it was surprising — and frankly frustrating — that such a simple need could not be met. There was no proactive effort to find a solution (e.g. to arrange bottles of water to be brought from elsewhere like the restaurant or kitchen), and it left us feeling disappointed in the overall service.
Overall, we had a beautiful stay at the hotel, but the service did not quite match the high standard we were hoping for. That said, we would still recommend the hotel for its stunning location, beautiful rooms, and overall ambiance.

We stayed two nights at Jetwing Yala on 18th and 19th April. We are a family of three and we got two rooms. Our rooms were with large balconies overlooking the sea with unforgettable view. Overall our stay was a very pleasant one from the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out. Hotel ambiance was very relaxing and we met very friendly service staff everywhere. Being a hotel built in a corner of a jungle, the experience we had was unique. We were lucky to see a large leopard at a very close range during our safari trip. The food was very good and the variety at the buffet was extremely good. There was a choice for everybody. Hotel is conveniently located for safari tours, being situated very close to the main entrance of The Yala National Park. Swimming pool is quite large one and very relaxing area in the evening. My wife and I got massage treatment at the Spa and it was very good. Special thanks to Gayan, assistant front office manager and Nishantha, F&B manager. Both of them are very well trained professional hoteliers always attending to guest needs. I am a retired senior hotelier with a very long work experience in 5-star international hotels in many countries and I highly recommend Jetwing Yala for any one who wants to enjoy a safari trip and a relaxed hotel stay in a quiet location.

Incredibly well appointed hotel. Rooms are very spacious, particularly the bathroom which was huge and had double height ceiling above the shower. Location for safari is fantastic, and there’s a lot of wildlife even in the hotel grounds itself. Best part is probably the pool set up, must be 50m+ in length and a great temperature. Just awesome.
Ståle Aurstad Haverstadløkken
Nicely located by the beach close to Yale National Park. A pool outside with a little pool bar. The breakfast buffet was excellent and so was the staff. Didn't get a top score because at dinner they didn't serve us the drink we ordered for the main course and after the dessert we wanted 30 minutes without any bills.

The selection of food wasn't too bad, with a mix of local and foreign cuisine. All staff including janitorial were extremely pleasant and lovely and made the stay very enjoyable.

Had an amazing weekend stay at The Blue Water Hotel with my family! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed graciously, and to our delight, I was upgraded to a suite. The room was huge, featuring a separate sitting area, jacuzzi, balcony, in-room dining, and a tea-making area. Everything was in top condition, and all the amenities were well thought out.
The food was excellent, with a great variety and multiple action stations (sometimes even more than two!). The hotel has massive pools, plenty of space to walk around, and a beautiful beachfront. Almost all the staff were friendly and attentive—though it seemed like a few might have missed the itinerary! 😄
Overall, it was an incredible stay that far exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful banquet hall🤩 The staircase of the entrance is so luxurious and elegant. Carpets lighting and walls are so charming. A pleasant smell was there too in the hall. The food was also delicious.
Ample of parking space outside and hotel premises and pool side is also looks nice.
Manojkumar C
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Bluewaters resort and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile.
The room was immaculate, spacious, and well-appointed with modern amenities. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like complimentary water, quality toiletries, and a well-stocked minibar.
One of the highlights was the pool. It added an extra level of enjoyment to the stay and really showcased the hotel’s commitment to guest satisfaction.
The location was also perfect—close to [mention local landmarks or attractions] yet quiet enough to feel like a relaxing retreat.
Overall, exceeded my expectations in every way. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area, whether for business or leisure. I’m already looking forward to my next stay!

We had the most relaxing and enjoyable holiday here. The location is absolutely stunning — right by the beach with beautiful views, especially at sunset. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the garden area was so peaceful.
What stood out most was the exceptional service — every staff member was kind, helpful, and welcoming. The buffet had a good variety, and we especially loved the Sri Lankan dishes. The pool area was a great place to unwind, and everything felt safe and well-maintained.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with excellent hospitality. Will definitely visit again!

Chamikara Kariyapperuma
Visited this beach hotel for an office gathering, and overall, it was a good experience. It’s a highly rated hotel with clean and comfortable rooms. The service was great, and the staff was helpful throughout our stay.
The venue is spacious and well-suited for large gathering. our group had over 300 people, and the common areas never felt crowded.
The food had a lot of variety for lunch and dinner, but many dishes lacked flavor. However, the breakfast was tasty and enjoyable.
A nice place for corporate events or large group outings!
Stephanie Fernando
We visited Cinnamon Bey for a vacation and the trip was amazing. The only concern was the flies over food, which was little uncomfortable and less hygienic. But the staff were friendly and the hospitality was very good. We were attended by Umesh, a new intern who was very professional and supportive. The vacation was a pleasant stay.

A Wonderful Stay at Cinnamon Bey!
We had a truly lovely experience at Cinnamon Bey. The hotel is beautiful, with lush greenery and stunning views that made our stay feel like a tropical escape. Everything was spotless, and the rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable.
What really made our stay exceptional was the warm and friendly staff. Everyone we encountered was helpful and kind, creating a very welcoming atmosphere throughout the hotel.
A special thanks goes to the amazing assistant manager, Susantha. After we had checked out, he went above and beyond by arranging a room for us later that night so we could shower and change before heading to the airport. His kindness and professionalism were truly appreciated and made a big difference to our journey home.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay. We’ll definitely be back!

We stayed for 2 nights as a family with 2 kids and had a wonderful time. The water play area was awesome, and the kids' play area was quite impressive too! We booked a suite — it was okay, comfortable enough for our needs. What really stood out was the staff — extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
My tip: if you want to truly enjoy the experience, book mid-week and during the off-season. Great value and fun for families!
Feroz Faiz
I had an amazing experience at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the beautiful surroundings and the warm, welcoming staff. What really stood out for me were the outdoor activities – there’s something for everyone! Whether you’re into golf,biking, swimming, or even guided nature walks, this place has it all.
The hotel grounds are spacious, well-maintained, and perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors. I especially enjoyed the early morning nature trails and the sunset kayaking – truly breathtaking. There were also plenty of family-friendly activities, which made it perfect for all ages.
The rooms were clean, cozy, and offered great views of the landscape. After a day of adventure, it was so nice to come back and relax in such a peaceful setting.
Highly recommended for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone looking for a refreshing escape. I’ll definitely be back!

What a fantastic experience! Everything about this hotel, including the food, location, and personnel, is fantastic. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The hotel's rooms, interior decor, and architecture are all fabulous. There is no disruption even when there is a sizable crowd because every public space is quite roomy.
Incredible first stay here. What makes the place are the people, first class staff and in particular would like to mention how family friendly the hotel is. Wonderful pools, food, and the staff everywhere are so friendly and kind to the kids.
the hotel was perfect for relaxing, but also travelling to close by areas- safari and Ella were wonderful days out.
The Hotel staff were lovely , they were helpful, friendly , and genuinely pleased to talk to us, they worked well as a team.

We recently stayed at Shangri-La, Hambantota and it was an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel very welcome. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet at their main dining restaurant “Bojunhala” with a wide variety of options to choose from. The staff was soo friendly. Special thanks to Indika (Service Manager) and Vihanga for attending all our special needs coz of our little one. The main pool and the wet water play area was amazing. Our little one enjoyed the Kidz play area as well. Ulpatha clubhouse was fantastic to have a relax beer and a clam and relaxing evening. They have a very good SPA in-house if you want to get yourself a good body massage and other treatments. They also have lot of other activities you could try out. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great luxury hotel experience.

The hotel was truly impressive — a beautiful property with excellent service and well-maintained facilities. We had a comfortable and enjoyable stay overall.
However, as a 5-star hotel, I expected a bit more attentiveness to personal details that could enhance the guest experience. We had provided our passport details during check-in, which clearly mentioned the date of birth. Despite this, there was no acknowledgment of the birthday — no greeting, no card, not even a small note.
These small, thoughtful gestures go a long way in creating a warm and memorable stay. It doesn’t take much — just a simple wish or handwritten note would have made us feel special.
While everything else was great, I hope the hotel considers making such moments part of their service. It truly adds a personal touch and reflects the kind of care one expects at a luxury property.
Asabha Deeghayu
Had an amazing stay at Taj Bentota. Since our arrival till our checkout the service was amazing. The hotel is located in a very picturesque place with a beautiful view. Rooms were good and the restaurent staff was extremely good . They always made sure our stay was comfortable and they provided custom made meals for our two year old . From the sri lankan head chef to waiter staff like Ravi , the service they gave us was top notch . The lunch ala carte menu amazing with large portions. The dinner buffet menu can be improved more . The overall experience was really good hoping to visit again . Comparing with other local hotel chains Tata group has maintained their reputation in the hospitality industry.
roustan fernando
The ambiance of the place is generally good, and the space is nice. However, there was extensive renovation work happening during my stay, which made it extremely noisy and unpleasant. Unfortunately, this made it impossible to relax or enjoy the weekend as intended. It would have been more considerate to schedule renovation work on weekdays instead of weekends when guests are more likely to want peace and quiet. I chose and paid for a quiet stay, but the constant noise from the renovations seriously affected the experience.
Sehar Punhani
The ambiance and location are very good. My breakfast experience was particularly displeasing because of the staff. I simply asked for an iced coffee without sugar and they just couldn’t serve it, still don’t understand why something so simple was so hard for them. There was also a staff member that did not know the basics of courtesy, embarrassing for such a well established brand’s representation. The overall experience of the place was good but it is critical for them to keep their staff in check for a better visit.
neha sharma
Just wrapped up an unforgettable stay at Taj Bentota, and it was everything we hoped for — and more! 🌊☀️ From relaxing beachside moments to fun-filled adventures, every day was a perfect blend of peace and play.
What truly made it special were the thoughtful surprises sprinkled throughout our stay and the immaculate hospitality that made us feel genuinely cared for. Every staff member went above and beyond, and the little touches of warmth and charm made all the difference. 💫💙
If you’re looking for a place that delivers luxury with heart, Taj Bentota is it. Already dreaming of coming back!
Plz note Special mention for Chef Parmesh Gowda & Chef Jasbir Singh for taking extra attention towards providing delectable food for us 🤩

It has one of the most beautiful hotel entrances, with the sea visible as soon as the huge Fortress doors are opened. Friendly and welcoming staff, with valet parking, and smooth check in. The rooms were huge and staff came and explained the room in detail for each room. The pool is huge and is amazing. The kids loved the gradient floor of the pool, the gardens and the swings placed at different locations were very thoughtful for that overall relaxing experience. The sauna, steam room, spa were all very good. The gym was well equipped too. The food was quite good with a good variation. An area to work on would be to not have long intervals when serving the a la cart menu, as we had to sometimes wait more than 20 minutes for the food to come. When we mentioned this to them they made sure that it didn't happen on the second day, which was a great improvement. All in all, it was a great experience.
Celeste Ann Requiron
The Fortress is a simply magnificent Resort. This beach front Resort has all the facilities you can ever want for a relaxing and truly enjoyable experience. (pools, spa, gym, great restaurants and Bar, delicious and an array of foods just to name a few.) The staff are amazing, very hospitable and always welcoming and friendly. We travelled from Australia and stayed two nights in the Ocean room which was very spacious and clean with all the facilities you need. We had our Wedding Ceremony at the Fortress and there is simply no words to describe the wonderful experience we had. Every aspect of our wedding ceremony was professionally and meticulously arranged by the staff at the Fortress. From organising the necessary marriage documents to the floral arrangements, wedding bouquets and bower, decorations, cake, celebrant, music, photography, special celebratory dinner, and the list goes on., we couldn’t have been happier with all of these things and the very best service we received at the Fortress. A special mention to our wedding coordinator ‘GAYANI’ who went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding ceremony was successful and memorable. Her attention to detail and dedication to make sure we were happy with all the arrangements is something we will always remember and be grateful for. From the time we arrived until we checked out the service was exceptional. All the staff never fail to smile and greet us. The food was delicious & the atmosphere was refreshing.
Abigail Dawson
We stayed at The Fortress Resort and Spa for a girls’ getaway and had an amazing experience. Our spacious room comfortably accommodated the three of us, and the breathtaking ocean view made for countless hours of relaxation, listening to the waves. The staff was exceptionally helpful and always greeted us with a smile, making us feel truly welcome. The highlight of our stay was the food—delicious, high-quality, and with an extensive menu, plus 24-hour room service!
One small suggestion would be to add doorbells to the rooms for added convenience.
A huge thank you to the team for making our stay so wonderful!
Tashfique Niloy
We had a great stay here. Loved it.
Great staff, very friendly and helpful.
View is amazing.
Welcome drink was nice. The guys at the gate, very nice.
Food is good, but I suggest eat outside, it's nicer and also priced better.
Room was clean, sofa was nice.
Slippers provided in the room which is nice.
Soap shampoo smells very nice.
Pillows had a little smell, the kind not dried well after washing. Shower glass bottom cleanliness could be improved.

Every detail was taken care of, and the service was exceptional—always with a friendly smile. The location was perfect, with the pool and beach just ideal for relaxing. The hotel is also convenient to get to other beaches along the south coast. The entire atmosphere was so peaceful and serene, making it the perfect getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a luxurious and tranquil retreat. Can’t wait to return!

My room was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, with a stunning view of the ocean and lush surroundings. Waking up to that peaceful scenery was a perfect way to start each day.
Both dinner and breakfast were excellent – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The dining experience is a true highlight here.
This hotel keeps getting better. It’s rare to find a place where you feel so welcomed and relaxed every time you visit.
Looking forward to coming back again – highly recommended for anyone visiting Bentota!

I had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful coastal hotel in Sri Lanka. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the serene atmosphere, stunning ocean views, and warm hospitality of the staff. The location is perfect, with access to the beach.
The room was spacious, tastefully decorated, clean, with a patio that open up to breathtaking sunsets over the Indian Ocean. Every morning started with the sound of waves and a delicious breakfast made with fresh local ingredients. Thank you for the wonderful stay!
Mirna Khalil
We had a great stay! The rooms are spacious, elegant, and clean, with everything just right. The balcony was a good size and perfectly equipped, making it a great spot to relax. We had requested rooms next to each other, and the hotel team kindly arranged it.
The location is truly special, one side of the hotel offers a stunning lake view, and you can walk all the way through the property to reach the beautiful beach on the other side. The pools are lovely, and the pool bar is cool. The team there is friendly, attentive, and they even remembered our previous orders, which made us feel genuinely welcomed.
The buffet for both breakfast and dinner were excellent, offering a wide variety of tasty dishes with something for everyone. The setting, overlooking the lake, made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The selection covers most cuisines, so there's always something new and delicious to try.
Overall, this hotel stands out for its thoughtful service, beautiful setting, and exceptional amenities. We would gladly return and highly recommend it!

The perfect setting for a luxurious and idyllic getaway to celebrate a milestone birthday with family. There was nothing to fault our experience. The food was delectable, the service exemplary and the standard unequaled. Staff could practically predict our requirements and nothing was too much. It’s expensive, but totally worth it, especially for a special occasion like a honeymoon, milestone birthday or engagement. Having said that, it’s the perfect location for a family getaway with plenty of kid friendly activities. My daughter learned to ride a bike in the car park, and made a magical memory she will cherish for ever.

Anantara Kalutara is honestly one of the best resorts I have ever stayed at. The location is stunning, right where the lagoon meets the ocean, with palm trees everywhere and super calming vibes.
The staff were amazing and really went out of their way to help us explore. They pointed us to some pond boat ride, tennis courts, poolside service, and more!! local spots, and cultural sites. there is so much to see and do in the area.
Also, the Italian dinner at the resort? So good. Everything tasted fresh and authentic like it was straight out of Italy.
this place is perfect. Can’t wait to come back!
