We did the cultural triangle in Sri Lanka finishing off by chilling out at the Fortress. Heavenly. Unforgettable. Worth every penny. Location on beach. Infinity pool the width of the hotel. Restaurant excellent. Our room was enormous . The bed gigantic. The bathroom and walk-in shower was to die for. You get the drift.!,,

Had 8 nights at the Fortress. Very good hotel with great facilities and overlooking a beautiful beach. Staff attentive & friendly. Food was excellent - always looked forward to breakfast - they serve the best coffee I have had at any hotel. Go for an Ocean View rooom on 1st floor. Couple of tips - have plenty of low denomination... More

We stayed at the Fortress 4th-7th April 2013 after much deliberation where to stay in Sri Lanka. My wife and I have been together fro 15 years and travelled quite a bit on holidays accumulating a fair spectrum of experiences, good and bad. But we were both knocked out by the Fortress and unanimously agreed that for once the idyllic... More

Wonderful hotel right on the beach, the rooms combine sophistication with a real Sri Lankan atmosphere. Food is excellent with some beautifully prepared Sri Lankan, Thai and European dishes combined with efficient but friendly service. Highly recommended for a beach holiday with a true Sri Lankan feeling.

Just try to get a room here if you want a real 5 star hotel experience. We normally stay in hotels like Kempinski... And even they are not to compare. In front of the hotel sea turtles are swimming and we saw the most beautiful fishes. Would be an excellent hotel to give a wedding.

This hotel is one of the best hotels have had the pleasure of staying in. Staff, food, service, rooms were all first class. Rooms were fantastic, beach front, balcony ground floor, with the aromas of spice filling the air, the beds were heavenly. Stayed at the end of our 16 day holiday in 2012, for 6 nights Missing the place... More

We stayed here for 6 nights at the end of our trip to Sri Lanka, and it was amazing. After being shown to our room, we were pleasantly surprised to find that we had been upgraded and had a plunge pool in the corner! Fortunately, they turn the pump off in the evening so it didn't ruin the sound of... More

We popped in to The Fortress for Lunch on Poya Day and I really thought their buffet was one of the better ones we had in Sri Lanka. The selection was excellent, the food was very fresh and there was a choice of locations to sit...in air conditioning, under the terrace or in the sunshine. Sitting near the pools and... More

We stayed here for 2 nights at end of our Sri Lanka journey. The hotel was beautifully constructed and designed in modern Dutch & Portuguese style. As soon as you enter the "Fort Wall", we felt like as if we had been a tropical paradise. We booked the Beach room, located on the ground floor, which gave us easier access... More
