The Fortress Resort and Spa

A Truly Memorable Couple’s Getaway at Fortress Resort & Spa. Our stay at Fortress Resort & Spa was nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we stepped into our ocean-view room, we were amazed — the view opened directly to the pool and then stretched out to the endless ocean. It felt like a private escape where the sea was just for us. The sound of the waves was powerful yet calming, filling the quiet surroundings with a natural rhythm that made the entire experience feel serene and intimate. It created the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway with my wife. The food was delightful, with a variety of options to enjoy together, and the service was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond, always attentive and thoughtful, making us feel cared for in every way — even the smallest requests were met with warmth. This was a stay we both loved, and one that left us with lasting memories. I would highly recommend Fortress Resort & Spa to couples looking for a romantic retreat in Galle.

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.

I recently stayed at the fortress and cannot fault one thing about our stay. The rooms are stunning, the service was 5 star, the grounds are kept immaculate. The food was beautiful, however a little more expensive than any other hotel we have stayed at in Sri Lanka. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who enjoys 5 star hotel and good quality service.

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.

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!
