Nice place to stay at Weligama Bay. surf-spot directly in front of the Hotel. Unfortunately the just built a hotel next door while we stayed there.....so there was a little bit noise and the sea-view was a little bit damaged by the building site. And there is some street noise, but compared to other places in Sri Lanka it was... More

A group of us stayed here as a family holiday in April 2012 after we booked it from reading great reviews on TripAdvisor. When we first drove up, got settled, and went to the restaurant I have to say we were really disappointed. However, the biggest complaint we had was that there is something "off" with the hotel. For every... More

However i like to think i give a balanced view and i enjoyed the 2 days we spent here.We stayed in the bungalows... More

I'd been wanting to visit the Weligama/Mirissa area for a while - primarily to take a peek at the Blue Whales that migrate down there between November and April - which I'd missed the last two seasons. Finally I managed to get the timing right, and the school calender allowed for my little lad to accompany me mid March. I'd... More

This is a great hotel, it is located at the best beach in Sri-Lanka, food was excellent and the rooms’ standard is very high. The Hotel was fully booked but you could not feel it. All of these thing can be seen in other hotel what make this one special is the staff. They were very helpful (which is not... More

To be fair, this hotel is fine for a three star and if they charged a quarter of the prices. Where do I start...? The staff: I found the staff to be little too friendly and unprofessional, constantly asking the guests questions about where they are from what they do etc... The food was poor for the prices charged. I... More

The Hotel and the whole resort were very clean, the food was good, especially fresh fish and sea food on grill. It is a wonderful place... More

Judging by the previous reviews on tripadvisor we expected a nice boutique property or at least a 5***** hotel considering the price they had quoted. We were quite disappointed to find this is a run of the mill 4* property. There is not much wrong in the hotel, meaning the rooms were large by European standards, the toilets were alright,... More
