Sri Lanka itself is fantastic we got out and about and saw many wonderful sights and enjoyed them all my two personal favourites were the rock fortress and white water rafting. The hotel was great, we had a room with a pool view... More

What a perfect location for a weeks induction to Sri Lanka, we booked on the recommendation of friends who had stayed at this hotel previously, and we were not disappointed! Don't be put off by any negative reviews that you may read about it. My wife and i are well traveled, and found the Sri Lankan people to be some... More

Club Dolphin is great for resting a bit after a long flight, before heading inland for the tour. Huge, clean, well-equipped rooms and bathrooms, comfy beds, gigantic pool keeping teenagers occupied for ages, (we loved the smaller quiet pool too), tidy and well-tended grounds, amazing sea views, huge variety of food and all good quality we found, friendly and helpful...

When you arrive in the lobby there are many people working there, but it takes a good long hour to check in. Then we got to the rooms and were shocked by what passes there as a luxury room. Very depressing, old, sagging ceilings, covered in water stains. Not updated and overall not very clean. Even the water of our... More

Where do I start? What fab place! Transfer was approx half an hour from the airport which is why we chose it, you stay farther down south and expect a 3-4 hour transfer depending on the time of day. Check in was smooth, we arrived at 4 in the morning expecting a long delay for our room as check in... More

Stayed here for four nights after doing a personal tour with a driver of Sri Lanka. We needed a break after all the early starts and busy days of the tour and this was a perfect place to stay. I had booked a room rather than a villa. Pool view (see pictures) looking out over the ocean. Big comfy bed,... More

We went to Club Dolphin on February 12th 2011 for 14 nights. We stayed in one of the villas that had a view of the beach and the ocean. Very spacious inside and very big bathroom and huge shower cubicle. The room was very clean with clean towels every day and 2 free bottles of water every day. If you... More

We selected this hotel as our base for day 1, as it was close to the airport and the flight arrived at 4 in the morning, before going north to explore the island for two weeks. I have read some very mixed reviews about the place, but for us it fulfilled the need very well and very honestly - one... More
