We loved everything about our stay at olinda. The hosts and the staff all made us feel at home, which was the best part of the stay. They paid attention to small details whether it be attending to you or the room or the decor. The rooms were speck clean, and they maintained a rigorous cleaning schedule. The decor was lovely We didn’t want our stay to end and really appreciated the staff seeing us off. We would love to stay here anytime we visit galle.

One of the perfect stay we had during our Sri Lanka Trip. Villa Rumassala Luxury Chalets exceed all our expectations. Villas were huge and exceptionally clean. Kitchen was well equipped and bathroom had a washing machine too. There was greenery all around and so very peaceful. The staff was so welcoming, warm and always smiling. Their hospitality was one of the finest. We used to order food in room service and it was super delicious. Somedays I really miss this place. Whenever I visit again, without a second thought I will only stay here.

    Had a fantastic two-night stay at Cinnamon Bay Beruwala with my family and absolutely loved it! Right off the bat, the porters were incredibly friendly and efficient with our luggage. The check-in process was smooth and quick, although they didn't accept American Express. No biggie, though; I had other cards. The 3 Superior rooms we booked were super spacious, with all the listed amenities on booking.com. Happy with that! We also opted for rooms with breakfast included, served at the "Büfe" restaurant. The spread was packed with various delicious Sri Lankan dishes and didn't repeat over the days. One thing, though, the place had quite a few flies and some cats wandering around, which might bother some. For lunch and dinner, we decided to dine at Büfe as well, and we were pleasantly surprised by the affordability (keep in mind, I'm comparing it to Swiss prices!). For five adults, our total for one lunch and two dinner buffets came to around CHF 300. Great value! In-room dining service available 24/7 via phone was a plus. Orders were delivered from their Ice Restaurant, which you could also visit. There's a designated smoking area, and I noticed folks respected this, making it comfortable for everyone else. They also had a beautiful swimming pool and a separate kids' pool with a play area - a bonus for families like us. Kudos to the housekeeping, reception, and porter staff, who were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay! The beach, directly accessible from the hotel, was mostly clean, though a bit rocky, and had some glass pieces. Just be a bit cautious with kids. Our stay started with a welcome drink - a lovely gesture that set the tone for our fantastic stay. Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

    My partner and I stayed for 6 nights and it couldn’t have been any better. The service was exceptional - Dulara, our personal assistant was there at any moment for any request but what made him so good was his ability to work around our days and initiative to understand what we wanted before we even asked. Hope his management understands how good he is as an employee and highly recommend any guest to ask for him when staying there in the future. The rooms were spacious and so close to the beach with amazing views of the coastline. The infinity pool was exceptional positioned right on the cliff overlooking the ocean. The main thing I can’t get over was the food, it was incredible. Every dish, breakfast or dinner was next level, extremely fresh and amazingly tasteful. I can’t wait to come back - Sri Lanka is amazing but this place is special

    Our experience at Citrus Hikkaduwa was absolutely amazing. It was just me and my best friend on vacation, being both girls travelling by ourselves, we felt extremely safe and the service was exceptional. Everyone was so helpful and polite! We stayed in a sea view double room and the view was just spectacular. The rooms were also very clean and perfect for our vacation. The food was also really good, especially breakfast. We both really loved how they had put a swing right in front of the beach which added to the lovely experience. The bartenders and dinner services were really great as well. Overall the entire experience was just lovely and I would without doubt recommend it to anyone! Being my last trip in Sri Lanka as well I would say it was the best vacation I have ever had so far. Many thanks to the team at Citrus Hikkaduwa!

    The location is perfect, right by the sea and walking distance from cafes like Cactus or Marshmallows - you can choose to walk town side or walk on the beach to reach those amazing cafes. It is also walking distance to the public beach and the staff went above and beyond to my staff comfortable. I also have the best massage in Sri Lanka so far at the spa, ask for Devi, she has magic hands.

    All sea view rooms and the room we stayed in was very spacious . A few minutes walk to jungle beach. The staff was friendly and even made arrangements to get our meals sorted. There is a kitchen and if we bring the raw materials we can even cook on our own , just need to pay them for the space we use. Over all I enjoyed unwatuna because it was conveniently located too.

    We did not venture into Bentota.

    We did not venture into Bentota. We are expats living in Colombo so no need to explore the city. The hotel was at the right spot for a 100% relaxing weekend away with no distractions. The ocean is not that swimmable as the sea was very rough and looked dangerous. The pool was a welcome alternative. We drove to Galle for the Saturday to watch the game between Springboks and Kiwis. That was not too far, one hour away and a very scenic route. The hotel was also fully booked so must be popular.

    Great beach, we felt like Robinson Crusoe on the beach, almost just the 2 of us. Visiting Mahdu Lake at 6 a.m. watching the sun goes up. A natural paradise with a lot of birds and other animals. Listening to their different noises. Dining at the Mangrove Cave Restaurant we enjoyed freshest seafood. It was just very tasty.

    Koggalla is small ,but has the same nice beaches and restaurants as the other towns on the coast.Yes a bit more basic,but also less crowded . We found the locals very friendly and niceThe stilt fishing demonstration is a cool thing to see and just be aware that you pay for pictures or videos.Nothing much and we had a fun time with all 5 guys showing us the ropes.If you respect them they will show you kindness and will be very friendly.We even delivered some chocolate for their kids later ,because we were staying so close to their beach.And that really made their day. Small gesture,but big enjoyment for everybody

    My favourite place was the turtle hatchery.

    My favourite place was the turtle hatchery. Most meals were eaten at the Hotel. Very easy to get around. There is a tour agency opposite the hotel entrance, it cant get any better than that. It is easy to take tuk tuk or van taxis. Superior beach front view. Beautiful gardens and swimming pool. Well done to the management and staff for this top class facility. Local fishermen were easy to approach and social chat with.
