"Lovely quiet setting, a cluster of very stylish bungalows set amongst palm trees a couple of minutes walk from the beach. Each bungalow had an outside seating area with built-in benches with foam cushions for relaxation/reading etc. Planting around this space added to the overall look. There was a large open air restaurant: tables and chairs under a traditional-style roof. Staff were attentive, the food was really good - big portions and the Sri Lankan breakfast was fabulous. The room and...

Top Sri Lanka Hotel Reviews

Galle Face Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful characterful hotel with lovely staff. Lots of history. It's worth visiting their museum. The pool was very welcome as the sea is not safe to swim in here."

Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"This RIU resort is amazing! The staff are caring and exceptional, always making sure guests’ concerns are addressed promptly. Great work by the entire team at RIU Sri Lanka. Our visit was short, but we’ll definitely be back because of the care and warmth the staff showed us from start to finish. Special thanks to receptionist Thisara!"

ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed at quite a few of the nicest hotels in Colombo over the past few years, both with my family and alone, and I'm really pleased I tried ITC this year. It's probably now my joint favourite alongside the Hilton Colombo Residences. It is superior to the Shangri-La (where the rooms are shoeboxes and the feeling is sterile) and Mt Lavinia (which seems too obsequious to a colonial past!). The lobby area is great and I felt like spending a lot of time there. The vibe feels more high end Sri Lankan than East Asian. My only pedantic suggestions are as follows: 1) Please change the elevator music. It is far too uptempo. You need something more sedate, not swing music. 2) Please include more vegan food on the breakfast and dinner menus I loved the smell of the hallways too. I saw the airmate devices and wanted to get a few myself, they were so good."

Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams

10/10 Excellent

"The stay, food, and customer service were fantastic. Special thanks to Asinsala; she was fantastic, and when we extended our stay by another day, she helped us program our room keys so we didn't have to go to reception. I will high-key recommend this place to go and have a great experience"
