Cape Weligama - Relais and Chateaux

Weligama

10/10 Excellent

From the moment you step into cape welligama to the moment you leave, you are being looked after by the staff with such immense care and attention to detail. The responsiveness and personalisation is excellent, and a level of service I have not encountered in any hotel before. The resort is well set up for young families, and our room had easy access to what felt like a very private swimming pool. The swimming pools are set to have great views, and we had monkeys and peacocks come to say hello....

Jetwing Lake

Dambulla

10/10 Excellent

Very large room with amazing view from the balcony overlooking acres of land and the lake. High ceilings and very spacious room. The bathroom was just as big equipped with a very large bath and large shower. The decor is amazing, the air-con was great, the rooms were very clean and the bed was so comfy. The location was great, the hotel was so peaceful and romantic, it's located in a large acre of land away from the street lights so you can star gaze in the evening. The staff were so nice and...

Fox Kandy by Fox Resorts- Luxury in the Mist

Kandy

10/10 Excellent

First of all, congratulations and well done to all the Fox resort Kandy. If you want to stay at a truly beautiful and pristine hotel in Kandy then Fox resort will certainly fit the bill. Perched on top of Richmond hill about 10 - 15 mins or so Tuk Tuk / taxi ride from hustle of the city (we paid between 600 - 800 LKR for most journeys in and out of the city). However to be fair Fox resort is so tranquil and welcoming you'll probably want to maximise your stay their by staying put and...

Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort

Tangalle

10/10 Excellent

This is truly a lovely hotel, with a great pool and beach front. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and grounds are very well maintained. Entrance feels grand and welcome us very warm. Great kids club. Would definitely return if I had the opportunity. Only minus I experienced was the upselling (day trips, spa treatments) during breakfast. While this may work well with some of the clientele, I found this quite annoying.

98 Acres Resort & Spa

Ella

10/10 Excellent

98 Acres is a special property and we were so excited to stay here on our trip in Sri Lanka. The resort did not disappoint and I will always think back to our stay here with fond memories. The view from the rooms is breath taking and there is lots to do within walking distance (Little Adam's Peak and Ella Bridge) which is a bonus). The staff were great, especially in the restaurant. I hope to be back one day.

A swimming pool with lounge chairs and umbrellas, surrounded by palm trees and a building with a tiled roof.

Jetwing Lagoon Wellness, A Luxury Reserve - Adults Only

Negombo

10/10 Excellent

Very friendly and welcoming staff, excellent locally sourced food, a great environment policy and the amazing 100m swimming pool. Its not a family hotel as such, however there was a babysitting service and a good choice of food for children. The pool is 4m deep (no 'shallow end' although there are steps). The suites have a twin room suitable for children. No beach, although limited watersports on the lagoon.

Cocobay Unawatuna

Unawatuna

10/10 Excellent

Had a brilliant time at Cocobay over Christmas and New Year. Enjoyed it so much, we stayed some extra days. Private beach is a small piece of heaven and i swam to jungle beach (about a mile) and that was super fun too. (can get a short rickshaw ride or walk also). Food was great, Sri Lankan or international cuisine available. Stayed in two different rooms and both great, clean and with sea and palm tree views. Going to Unawatuna which is great but always happy to come back. Special thanks to...

Amaranthe Bay

Trincomalee

10/10 Excellent

We got a friendly greeting when we arrived and drinks brought to us on Reception. All staff are very friendly. The room was beautiful and very spacious. We had a junior suite and it was the best room I’ve ever stayed in. We were able to add room service and meals to our bill to pay by card when we checked out. There are ATM’s nearby if you want to get some cash. We gave tips at the end of our stay. It was helpful that the documentation from the hotel states that charges include a service charge...
