Galle hotellia

Plussat: Friendly staff, great facilities, high quality food, and corporative reception. Everything was just as perfect as one can wish for.

Plussat: Beautiful pool and surrounding areas. Fantastic food. Among the best service from staff we've ever had. Clean, fresh and nicely decorated room. Great breakfast buffet.

Miinukset: A livelier vibe/ setting for after dinner drinks would have made our stay perfect.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent.

Miinukset: More light in the rooms

Plussat: Situation o n beach , good pool , comfy loungers, and view from room excellent .shame the sea was too rough for swimming. Would stay here again.

Miinukset: The sea was too rough for swimming, And the bar prices were way to much.

Plussat: Facilities were excellent when comparing to other hotels. Dining area also very comfortable and food was amazing had a large variety of food collection.

Plussat: Viihtyisä allasalue ja hyvä, monipuolinen aamiainen. One-bedroom suitelle huonetyyppinä peukku, erittäin tilava huoneisto erillisellä makuuhuoneella ja olohuoneella sekä huikeilla merinäkymillä. Olohuoneeseen mahtui hyvin myös lisävuode.

Miinukset: Vastaanotossa palvelu oli hieman tympeää, ja lähtiessä syntyi epäselvyys minibaarista puuttuvasta vesipullosta, jota emme itse olleet käyttäneet. Vaikka itse huone oli erittäin siisti, osa hotellin yleisistä tiloista oli hieman nuhjuisia.

Plussat: Very courteous staff, great breakfast spread, good beach, great room

Plussat: amari is the one of the best place that i ever had seen. But dinner should be more delicious.

Miinukset: The Dinner.

Plussat: Location and view

Miinukset: Pricing

Plussat: Hotel location is great, but you can not go out and stroll the area, as there are no pavements. You need transportation to go out anywhere.

Miinukset: Outside of the hotel is in stark contrast to the inside. The road is not safe to walk and very noisy. We tried to walk out one evening and had to return back to the hotel after 30 steps. Also when you are outside the hotel, Tuktuk drivers can be over insistent to offer a ride and can be annoying sometimes.

Plussat: Size, view, pool and very friendly staff. Easy to get tuk Tuks to local places.

Miinukset: Evening ambience could be improved. A lot if staff around.

Plussat: Super facility. Staff was very nice and we enjoyed every moment of our stay.

Plussat: Everything. We had a wedding blessing there for son and daughter in law. Staff and facilities were fantastic. Gayani helped us with wedding she was amazing. Not a huge hotel so nice and personnel. We loved it

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great swimming pool Lovely friendly and professional staff

Miinukset: Wished I had not gone full board and eaten out sometimes

Plussat: Breakfast was sufficient. Got my omlett every day and fresh juices. Beach was very near and clean. Some emloyees were friendly some not. the reception hall is amazing. Pool was clean. Housekeeping was okay.

Miinukset: for a 5 star hotel i would have expected more. We had cockroaches in our room. prices for drinks was aWhen we sat drinking in the evening, we were not noticed. When we ordered something, the bill came right away without asking if we wanted anything else. bit overpriced.

Plussat: The pool,location and the staff are excellent .Well designed hotel with easy access to beach .

Miinukset: Mini bar water bottles are unnecessarily expensive ,5 times of their retail value . They provide you with 2water bottles and expect you to survive the day .This is basically impractical and they should make water more accessible and less expensive .Better add more complimentary water bottles .

Plussat: Spacious hotel with plenty of sun loungers. Very helpful pool boys to provide the towels and move loungers for you. Situated right on the beach, although current too strong to swim. Excellent breakfast with lots of choice. Rooms all have sea view and are beautifully cleaned every day and always smelled perfumed. Wonderful king bed with lovely linen and plenty of storage in the room for clothes. The staff are all very polite.

Miinukset: If you are not on an "all inclusive" package the drinks in the bar are very expensive. Beer costs twice as much as the local bars around the hotel.

Plussat: I HAD A GOOD STAY

Miinukset: I HAD DISPUTE ON THE BILL

Miinukset: Balcony floor was sticky. Room looks run down.

Plussat: One of the best hotels in Sri Lanka

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Beautiful grounds, and swimming pools. The food was really amazing and a wonderful buffet breakfast. Staff were extremely friendly and my family and I had such a nice stay

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Many hotels of this age are renovated to try and modernize them but fail because they are upgraded cheaply and without respect for the original design. Jetwing Lighthouse has been renovated with a sensitivity to the original Bawa Design and that ensures a stay steeped in history and nostalgia while incorporating the modern luxuries expected.

Miinukset: We would have loved to be able to swim in the sea but it was really not safe.

Plussat: We loved the excellent service, the amazing grounds and unmatched food at very reasonable prices. All staff were unfailingly helpful and friendly. We love the eco credentials of this hotel and also the community education focus.

Miinukset: Location service and the ambiance

Plussat: Beautiful hotel

Miinukset: Really nothing but did have problem with non secure WiFi

Plussat: The location is good.The building and pool are good.

Miinukset: The management was real disaster for the following reasons. My wife decided at the last moment not to fly to Sri Lanka because of the Corona Virus so that I went alone in order not to loose all the money on the prepaid rooms. Upon arrival I told the check-in staff about this fact and asked them if I could use the 2nd prepaid breakfast (the breakfast prepaid for my wife) for my local Sri Lankan guide. I was told that this would be fine. To my extreme suprise a male staff told me in the evening of February 24 that I would have to pay for the breakfast of my local guide taken in the morning of February 24. The male staff was soon joined by a woman, probably the manager of the hotel who acted in a rude and arrogant way when I explained the situation and insisted that I have to pay as the guide was not a registered guest. I refused to sign and went to my room. For the next two days I ate breakfast in other hotels with my guide and also used no services of the hotel including the housekeeping service as I was very upset. I find this behaviour totally unaccepteble for a hotel that charges USD 330 per night. I will also complain to the Sri Lankan Tourist Bureau. If I just would have registered my guide as the second person of the reservation there is nothing they could have done to prevent him for having breakfast with me!!!!

Plussat: Everything was amazing. From when we checked in and received welcome drinks of wine and beer to the kind staff who always made sure we had anything we needed, our stay here was even better than we’d imagined. The pool was a perfect way to escape the heat, the hotel was in a great location within the fort, and the staff was always so warm and welcoming. Anuradha made the stay especially enjoyable and when we were conflicted about leaving early because of the virus, she made our checkout process seamless and easy. We will be back

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff is amazing and so is the food! We were given a loft room after we found the downstairs rooms a little less private.... No problem! It was our anniversary and they went out of the way to create a special table by the pool... Magical!

Plussat: Colonial

Miinukset: Bathroom open and above it repair work was taking place

Plussat: The breakfast had a lot of choices and was really nice. We had dinner that also tasted very good. Enjoyed our stay very much, even though we didn't stay for long.

Plussat: Good buffet breakfast although the items were limited. Good coffee. The pool was good and the surroundings around the pool were nice. The rooms were adequate with comfortable bed.

Miinukset: Some confusion of extra fee on payment by credit card, which was eventually resolved favorably

Plussat: Beautiful building, very nice and comfortable stay with a nice staff. Feel bad for the hotel with Corona.

Miinukset: Internet connection very weak. Please change this! Then it will be a perfect 10.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: A wonderful old colonial building set in fabulous grounds with a jungle backdrop, with monkeys in the trees, so many species of birds , it's a fabulous tranquil place to stay., good friendly staff and an excellent restaurant.

Plussat: Nice place overall. The breakfast was good and the staff is very nice.

Miinukset: The beds were smelling a little bit old and you can hear everything the neighbors do in their room.

Plussat: Hinta - laatusuhde erinomainen. Viihtyisä ympäristö.

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: Cleanliness: It was very disappointing because we paid such a high rate and we expected a certain standard of cleanliness which obviously we did not find. Towels in the room where smelly as well as the bathroom. They should clean the swimming pool daily as there were several leaves and dead insects in it. The towel provided in the swimming pool area are small, old and full of stains. It is such a pity because the venue is very nice. They should just pay more attention to details and take more care of the gardens.

Plussat: The property is very pretty. Staff is very helpful.

Miinukset: No phone in the room . Rooms are pretty small.

Plussat: All. Place, surf, food

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The fresh towels, change sheets, and flowers added to the luxury. Right on the beach with several breakfast options included in the package. The staff is friendly and always willing to help.

Miinukset: The restaurant lunch and dinner could have been a little better.

Plussat: Great location on the beach and staff excellent

Plussat: Great staff , they get 10 out of 10 for friendliness and efficiency .

Miinukset: The high rise hotel next door , which spoils the view , you don’t really see it on the website

Plussat: Pleasantly surprised to see that we were booked in a cottage. It was just a minute's walk to the beach (through the hotel's private gate). The room was large - as was the bathroom. Also nice to have a view with your meal. Or even watch the sea from the verandah of your cottage. The reception and housekeeping staff were very helpful. The beach had a fun vibe - families, kids, surfing, volleyball....but not annoyingly crowded.

Miinukset: The bath area had an open roof (with wooden bars) and this meant that there were bugs, leaves, streaming in along with the sunlight. In fact, the entire bathroom needed a little more scrubbing and some shine. The food was ok but the menu was somewhat limited so we had our lunch and dinner next door - at the Marriott.

Plussat: Good location Clean room Good sound insulation Large balcony Good A/C Friendly staff

Miinukset: Dated interiors Breakfast presentation could be much better Poor WiFi around the pool Average Spa

Plussat: Spacious rooms and perfect location on the beach.

Miinukset: Breakfast is a buffet but with very poor quality.

Plussat: Great location, great bed and shower!

Plussat: . Very good location, friendly staff

Miinukset: Not a 4star facilities and quality standards for the price paid.

Plussat: Staff were very attentive. Always happy, smiling. Nothing too much trouble.

Miinukset: No negatives at all

Plussat: We took our decision to come to Sri Lanka in early March, when the nightmare has started with global virus paranoia and decided that we better stay in our CocoBay longer than we expected : 2 weeks +! because we did some search ahead of time, it was wise not to change hotels, this hotel totally fitted our criteria’s. Location - front line, private beach with small waves, secluded, modern furnishing and good service and food reviews. We never regretted that we have chosen this gem....as we arrived to this wonderful place, we liked it from the very beginning. Danesha, the front desk manager is a sweetest young lady, who took a great care of us from the very moment we stepped into this oasis, she offered us natural juice as a refreshment with her sparkling smile, and was very accommodating sorting out all of our requirements and giving us suggestions on whereabouts, she was always very attentive. Our room was on the upper 3 rd floor, one of the best suites in this stylish hotel. The cleanliness of the room, furniture, bedding , choice of pillows, ( even a pillow menu) the mattress; all was the way we like. Housekeeping did an outstanding job: the towels and linen were changed daily, and every day we would find beautiful flowers and candles arrangements all around in our room. First, after we took some rest, we went for an early dinner at the hotel’s restaurant. We opted for “ Seafoods indulgence platter”, which was a top notch artfully arranged and flawlessly prepared ... This was probably the best seafood dish I had eaten in my life! I must notice here that I have a degree in hospitality field, and travel quite a lot , often ordering seafood when I am at a sea side destination. Italian Pinot Grigio was a perfect addition to enjoy this dish by my husband.

Plussat: Breakfast was great. The room was absolutely perfect. Very calm sea, perfect for small kids. Perfect for easy and calm family holiday.

Miinukset: all perfect

Plussat: Small and wonderful friendly, helpful staff. Lovely private beach.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Fabulous hotel in great location. Away from the hustle and bustle but close to everything. Staff were exceptional in troubling times

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff and the food were worthy of 5 stars. Same goes for the location and private beach.

Miinukset: The entire property needs a refurbishment. It could be incredible but it’s very dated and requires new painting, new styling (very 90’s). We had to change rooms which they kindly acted on quickly and also gave us another kind gesture on departure. Overall I would recommend it for the good bits I mentioned above but I just hope the owners refurbish the property because it would then be perfect and worthy of a big 5 stars!

Plussat: The hotel is in lovely location with a private beach. You can walk to Jungle Beach and Unawatuna. A fair hike but possible. We went into Galle Fort most nights for dinner. Galle Fort is the most charming place we found in Sri Lanka with lovely restaurants and bars. We also went for a magical swim with the Turtles at Turtle Beach. Staff are lovely and helpful. Meals were good. Yoga/stretch classes were an excellent way to start the day.

Miinukset: The property is tired and needs an update. Things are quite tatty.

Plussat: beautiful location and awesome food.

Plussat: Amazing, one of the best accomodation we have ever visited.

Plussat: Staff were great, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Direct access to lovely beach. Lovely small pool. Breakfasts (and food in general) were excellent.

Miinukset: Needed more sun loungers as there were not enough for everyone staying. Found our room a little sterile and in need of some fresh paint.

Plussat: Great for relaxing. The hotel was stylish opened straight onto a lovely beach .

Plussat: Stunning location with a view that is hard to compete with. Our stay at Arabella has been incredible and after staying here you dont want to leave. The staff, food, location and room has been a 10/10 experience and I will defiantly recommend this place to everyone who is traveling to Sri Lanka.

Miinukset: Nothing to complain about

Plussat: Great Food, friendly staff which seemed to enjoy their jobs and liked to help the guests. The Hotel is beautifully designed and is really been taking care of. Great attention to detail, everything in this hotel was simply amazing. For sure the best hotel we had in almost 3 weeks in Sri Lanka. The beach is beautiful and lonely as well.

Plussat: Rooms were clean and spacious.

Miinukset: Ventilation for the bathroom wasn't enough while there weren't any garbage bins available. Also there was no in-room phone to contact staff. Also it would be great if there was a kettle and some coffee. The Sri Lankan breakfast wasn't worth the price.

Plussat: Best stay in whole Sri Lanka. Very exclusive with high standard.

Plussat: Everything !!! Stunning place, 5* deco, attention to details from flat irons for ladies in the bathroom to fab beach bags, glass bottles of water in the room, swings by the coconuts palm trees in the courtyard ,super modern beach bar with an array of all sort of snacks and menu choices for all tastes.. we were very impressed . Also the staff was as usual , attentive, friendly and very accommodating with a late check out.

Miinukset: Nothing, we loved it and we regretted not spending another night there.

Plussat: Everything about this hotel was amazing! Honestly the best place I’ve stayed. Rooms were massive, beautiful and super clean. Staff were very helpful and location is fantastic. Felt like we had a beautiful hotel to ourselves. Will definitely be returning

Plussat: The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly at all times. No matter where you are on the property you always have a fantastic view!

Plussat: The place is amazing, great chill vibe.

Miinukset: They dont serve real bacon (pork) and we were in shock! Pity cos we didnt eat any meals there after that disappointment

Plussat: A unique hotel, an oasis of peace, a friendly staff. Wonderful view, amazing pool. Delicious food.

Plussat: Great place to finish up the Sri Lanka trip(or start for that matter). - great breakfast, especially compared to other 4/5 star places we stayed in SL. - friendly staff, really helpful. - close to unawatuna / galle

Miinukset: Just as gentle tips; - A bit more choices regarding food and drinks would be nice. - one night, before 10pm there was no staff te be found so not able to get a drink before going to bed - pool could be cleaned more,

Plussat: This was a really lovely place. The location on the beach is fantastic. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Food was very good. Staff were all very friendly and attentive. A very civilised place to stay.

Miinukset: Owt

Plussat: The staff are awesome!!! The room luxurious and tasteful.

Miinukset: Food is extremely pricey. We stayed at other top resorts where large buffet breakfast was included. At Aditya breakfast was small and very expensive.

Plussat: We've been here in the middle of march 2020 together with my wife, and loved this place. Great location. Very friendly staff. Great food. The best place to rest after hard business days. Even no need to go out, inspite of the fact that I'm a big fan of go here and there. Highly recommended.

Miinukset: Nothing to say.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Lovely open, spacious feel and delightful pool area.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Exceptionally clean. Staff are very friendly and supportive. Comfortable beyond imagination

Miinukset: Location is far from city. Beach is dangerous ( waves are very high and you can’t swim in it at all )

Plussat: This hotel is excellent. Yes it is pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. The staff cannot do enough for you and go out of their way to provide every comfort. The room is huge with fantastic views over the gardens and sea. The ood is excellent and top quality. The pool is a great size with comfortable loungers and your own private beach.

Miinukset: The pillows were maybe not as comfortable as some hotels but Im sure we could have changed them if we had said something to the staff.

Plussat: - amazing view on the ocean from the room - spacious room and semi-open bathroom with a small plunge pool - very good breakfast - possible to have dinner on the balcony of your room

Miinukset: - if I wanted to find something: the plunge pool couldn‘t be heated

Plussat: The best hotel we’ve stayed in ....ever. Fantastic staff, beautiful big suites and lovely restaurant food . Perfect place to unwind!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Aditya is located in a perfect location ..away from the hassle and noise of hikkaduwa! Perfect get way for body and soul.
