We spent two nights at Shangri-La Hambantota with my father, mother, brother and two sisters, and we really enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and nicely designed with a simple, relaxing style and a pleasant balcony. The food was very good. Breakfast had a good variety, and we had dinner at the Grill where the seafood platter was excellent. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, from the front desk to the rest of the hotel team. The overall atmosphere was calm and perfect for a family stay. We would definitely love to visit again.

Dear Shangri‑La Hambanthota Team, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for the exceptional hospitality I received during my stay. The entire experience was truly outstanding and far exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the Front Office team demonstrated remarkable attentiveness and thoughtfulness. Their warm welcome, friendly attitude, and continuous support throughout my stay created a wonderful sense of comfort. Every interaction felt genuine, and they consistently made me feel valued as a guest. At Bojunhala, both the reception team and the service team were equally impressive. They offered personalized attention at every meal, always checking on our needs, ensuring comfort, and maintaining a very pleasant atmosphere. Their professionalism and kindness added so much value to the stay. The food quality, cleanliness, bed linen standards, and overall environment were exceptional. Every detail reflected the meticulous care and high standards maintained by the hotel. This stay at Shangri‑La Hambanthota was truly memorable, and I deeply appreciate the effort taken by all the staff to make it special. I would be delighted to visit again and experience your outstanding hospitality. Thank you very much for an unforgettable experience.

We’ve just returned from an amazing week at Shangri‑La Hambantota, and the resort exceeded all our expectations. The beautiful setting, great facilities, warm and welcoming staff, and unforgettable sunsets made it the perfect spot for a family reunion holiday. The food was consistently excellent. We especially enjoyed having the buffet breakfast outdoors, as the indoor buffet felt a little busy during the breakfast family peaks. The sushi and sashimi at Sera were outstanding, and we loved the High Tea, happy hour, and sunset drinks at Gimanhala Lounge. We also enjoyed two relaxed dinners at the Ulpatha Clubhouse. The spa is stunning, and the Hambantota Wellness Journey was incredibly relaxing. The golf course was another highlight, my dad, who plays regularly at St Andrews, rated it extremely highly. A must‑play for golfers visiting Sri Lanka. A big thank‑you to the wonderful team—especially Guest Relations, Jagath (Housekeeping), Madhu (Gimanhala Lounge), Pyadasrshan (Sports & Recreation), the Banquets manager, and all the Food & Beverage staff. Everyone was warm, attentive, and professional. We also loved Priyadsashana’s daily aqua aerobics class and bike ride around the resort. Off‑site, we visited Goyambokka Beach (a Top 50 beach globally) and Yala National Park, where we met Gamanu, the famous elephant—an experience that we will never forget! We can’t wait to return!

We spent two wonderful weeks at Shangri-La Hambantota during the Christmas and New Year holidays, and it was truly an amazing experience. We really managed to rest, disconnect, and enjoy every moment — and we will definitely consider coming back again. Our three children had an incredible time. The resort is very safe, they could be autonomous, and they made lots of friends, which made the holiday even more special for them (and relaxing for us!). The hotel staff deserves special praise — everyone was kind, friendly, and highly professional. From housekeeping and the kitchen to sports activities and administration, every interaction was a pleasure. The food was a highlight on its own. For the first time in my life, I was brave enough to try Indian cuisine — and I’m so glad I did! Thanks to the daily advice and recommendations from the chefs, I discovered many Indian and Sri Lankan dishes that I will definitely remember (and miss!). The Christmas and New Year parties were absolutely top-notch — beautifully organized, festive, and unforgettable. And of course, the nature and sights of Sri Lanka need no advertisement at all — the country is simply stunning. Lush landscapes, beautiful beaches, wildlife, and cultural sites everywhere you look. It’s an amazing place, full of things to see and discover. Overall, an amazing experience, 5 stars without hesitation. Special thanks to the restaurant team and my friends from its Inidian part — you made this stay exceptional. Hope to come back again soon!

We recently spent a 1-night Full Board stay at Shangri-La Hambantota, checking in on 16/01/2026, and once again, the experience exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning, the reservation process was smooth and stress-free, thanks to Vinoden, who has been assisting me with my stays for the past 4 years. His professionalism, warm personality, and true customer obsession make every interaction pleasant and reassuring. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfectly arranged, and it truly makes a difference. He is a great asset to Shangri-La. The rooms were excellent — spacious, well-maintained, and extremely comfortable. Everything was spotless, reflecting the high standards of cleanliness Shangri-La is known for. It was evident that great care is taken in housekeeping, which made our stay even more relaxing and enjoyable. The buffet was amazing, with a wide variety of delicious options and excellent quality across all meals. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, catering to different tastes. The service at the restaurant was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall dining experience. What truly stands out about Shangri-La Hambantota is how every stay creates lasting memories. From the serene environment to the exceptional service, everything comes together to offer a peaceful and luxurious escape. A heartfelt thank you to Vinoden and the entire Shangri-La Hambantota team for consistently delivering outstanding hospitality. We always leave with beautiful memories and look forward to returning again and again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a world-class resort experience in Sri Lanka.
