"Friendly and happy staff in all areas which says a lot about how the hotel is run.
Had my room unexpectedly upgraded on arrival due to a fault found with the originally booked room.
The room I had did have a small issue with the private jacuzzi leaking but no major issues.
Food and drink were excellent throughout my stay.
Highly recommend staying here to anybody wanting a few days of relaxing peace after touring the country."

Incredible stay at the Charleston. The service is unbeatable and the staff were incredibly thoughtful and kind. The complimentary laundry was a most expected.

Spectacular setting on the beach with a lovely pool looking over the ocean. Staff are wonderful and the curries delicious - the spa was such a great treat too.

Fantastic hotel. Beautiful rooms, lovely property, friendly and effective staff. The location just outside Galle Fort is perfect, a short walk or even shorter tuk tuk ride up the hill and the peace and sanctuary of historic Sun House.
Just wish we could have stayed longer.

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....

Beautiful property on great stretch of Kabalana beach. It was really nice walking along the long stretch of beach and having a dip in the warm and clear water.
The king size bedroom was big, clean and very comfortable.
The pool area was relaxing with comfortable sun beds with a great view of the beach and also direct access.
We enjoyed eating lunch at the pool area with some of the best king prawns we had, deep fried in panko breadcrumbs. Everything we had for lunch and breakfast was good...

Mohan, the manager was extremely accommodating making gorgeous breakfasts and real cinnamon tea. The homestay is a really nice place to stay, in a quiet location but easily accessible to walk to the Fort and other local attractions. Tuk Tuks are made available with local drivers at a reasonable price to access the beach areas etc.This is the place to stay on anyone's plans visiting Sri Lanka. Finally many thanks to Harsha for his Hospitality.

We spent six nights at the Asian Jewel and found it a wonderfully restful place to stay, with lovely gardens and a small clean swimming pool.
We had the “Kingfisher” room which allowed wonderful views of the lagoon from the really large balcony. The restaurant offers really excellent Sri Lankan and western food. The special Sri Lankan curry is highly recommended.
All the staff are very friendly and, most importantly, helpful. They accommodated all of our needs. While not actually hotel staff,...

We really enjoyed staying at this lovely hotel. It has a really quiet and tranquil setting on a nice stretch of beach. There were a number of turtles in the sea just by the hotel. The room itself was very comfortable and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We also had some nice meals at the property. Highly recommended.
