Our first impressions of this hotel as we arrived were that it it was rather austere and forbidding. However, once through the entrance level and up onto the terrace overlooking the ocean, we soon began to appreciate the clean lines and spaciousness. Our room was lovely with a great bathroom area and balcony overlooking the first pool and the sea.... More

Stunning! This is a truly fabulous hotel. It was a main highlight of a fantastic holiday in Sri Lanka. We were prompted to book it based on a rave review in the Rough Guide book and it lived up to the review. The hotel designed by architect Geoffrey Bawa is gorgeous. Hotel rooms are beautiful, extremely spacious with a quirky... More

This is a wonderful hotel, beautifully designed with terrific views of the Indian ocean. We stayed in a terrific deluxe room, with wonderful facilities. Superb bathroom arrangements, good big bedroom and nice balcony overlooking the sea. The restaurant was very good and with a combination of both at seat service and buffet a nice contrast from all the other self... More

I stayed at this wonderful hotel for a week. I had a room facing the ocean offering open sea views and waves crashing on surf. My room was in the main building but I didn’t hear any traffic, only the sea. The big room was pleasant, with a balcony and a big bathroom / dressing room, but with a limited... More

We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights towards the end of our sightseeing holiday. The rooms were well maintained and the bathroom was huge! My only moan is very small but the plug sockets only seemed to work if the lights were switched on aswell and we had asked for a double and got 2 mattress stuck together. The... More

Went to dinner here on the recommendation of our guide book. It is a stunning location, but the food was only just on the right side of inedible and the staff seemed overwhelmed. Disappointing. More

The cinnamon room is well worth the visit, usually empty but the food is beautiful however the restaurant needs to be less imposing and more welcoming. More

My husband and I stayed at this wonderful hotel for almost a week. It was the last project of the world renowned architect Jeffrey Bawa and it was a thrill to experience it first hand. The room was pleasant, the staff charming, efficient and accomodating in every way, the meals in the second floor restaurant were superb, and the pool/beach... More

We stayed at Lighthouse again after a 5 year gap having previously stayed there several times. I think it has aged gracefully - given it's location right on the beach and rocks some wear and tear should be expected (roof tiles, sunbeds, etc.). The room was still very large with good facilities - flat screen TV, good bathroom, large comfy... More

From the moment we stepped into this hotel our senses were pleasantly accosted by the beauty and elegance of the hotel set against the jagged rock and pounding surf of the landscape. I couldn't ask for a better mix. Rooms were spacious and elegant with large open wooden shutters and doors for all portals. This let in the breezes and... More
