Weligama hotellia

Plussat: Todella monipuolinen. Paljon erilaisia vaihtoehtoja.

Miinukset: Auringonottotuoleja oli liian vähän.

Plussat: The staff is very friendly and attentive.

Plussat: The view of the beach is incredible & the breakfast buffet is excellent. The wait staff & chefs were very lovely & efficient also.

Miinukset: The front counter staff were extremely unhelpful & very slow. The rooms are dated & the room hallway smelt very stale.

Plussat: 4 members of staff made our stay fantastic: - Bagashryee- FOH Manager. After confusion with booking she provided a board upgrade, sorted the room fast on check in and checked in on us throughout our stay. - Mehaan- great cleaner who left the room looking spotless and ensured we had more than enough free water stocked in our room. - one of the Pool Managers - he sorted out issues with the towels and when other guests took our sun loungers. Very attentive. - Rooshan - Sous Chef. Answered all my questions about food and gave me tips should I want to recreate some of his fantastic curries at home. This hotel felt real luxury in paradise and the food was amazing!

Miinukset: - Pillows were rubbish. Feather filled and flat. - most of the staff didn’t know their own policies around towels, check in to name a few which was frustrating - more Gluten free options - No juice on offer for lunch buffet - Customers not Informed of large event bookings such as a wedding, so no way to plan around lack of space around the pool that day which meant we had to have a towel on the floor to fit in. Not expected for a 5 Star!

Plussat: Good location, nice staffs

Miinukset: The beach is not so clean

Plussat: The rooms were lovely, the view was amazing overlooking the whole bay.

Miinukset: The pool wasn’t that clean unfortunately.

Plussat: Location Views from the room Very clean Attentive staff

Miinukset: Need better pillows

Plussat: Location is amazing

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Amazing

Miinukset: The beach infront of the hotel was small , no lay beds

Plussat: The room was very clean.

Miinukset: What we’ve heard the most of the time from the staff was „no, not possible.“ That meant things like having warm food, beer out of a glass or warm water in the shower. The food on the buffet was cold, which is no wonder if you place it under an AC. When we told the stuff they said it‘s not true but instead the staff pointed to the tiny little candle trying to glow desperately under the food-container. Thanks for that. I‘ve never had beer out of a tea pot before. Also thanks for this experience. Strange that in every other hotel and restaurant it was no problem to get beer served properly. No warm water in the shower?! I know. Staff is trying the best and often is not trained to have creative solutions. I mean, all that wouldn’t be big problems if you wouldn‘t charge 130$ a night.

Plussat: All the employees are very kind and always with a smile specially the girl at the reception who helped us very quick with everything we wanted to arrange. The housekeepers were always smiling and very kind, they did a good job, the rooms and the entire building is spotless. The bar staff is also very quick and ready to serve. We did not like one of the waiters on our 2 first days because he was all the time looking at us and it felt awkward. The size of the room is amazing. The bathroom is just perfect. The pool was the best thing as it was really hot every minute. It’s worth it to book the from view!

Miinukset: It’s far away from any decent restaurant. The pillows are really high and the mattress a little bit hard. The hotel restaurant is just OK, in case you are really hungry you can grab a bite but nothing special, plus the chairs are very uncomfortable. The sunbeds are made of plastic so a little bit cheap for what you are paying. Breakfast is OK, ask for the pancakes!

Plussat: Surfing close to the hotel. The swimming pool is amazing. Friendly and helpfull staff.

Miinukset: Not much. Maybe a small point is that you had to pay extra for coffee from the coffee machine and you could only have instant coffee

Plussat: THE SEA VIEW FROM THE ROOM IS PRICELESS !!! IT'S LIKE YOU'RE WATCHING A PAINTING !! The staff were really helpful , the pool and the beach were very clean and quite , I didn't quite like the food to be honest but other than that everything was perfect

Miinukset: The food specially the pork

Plussat: The bed was large and very comfortable and the room is spacious. Bathroom large with good shower and nice lighting and hairdryer. The hotel is right on the beach and the pool is lovely, not massive but certainly adequate. The hotel feels very spacious with a lovely staircase. Staff were very friendly and polite. The hotel is a little way from the town centre but is nice and quiet with a lovely beach.

Miinukset: The outlook from our room was a bit disappointing I knew I didn’t have a sea view but there isn’t a garden so the rear view is of houses and their back yards. The bedroom is big but lacks a little character. The shower was lovely but was generally tepid probably due to their system not coping with demand. The breakfast was basic and I expected more for what we were paying, no yoghurts/curd and we had to open Nescafé sachets to make our coffee in the breakfast room, not very environmentally friendly.

Plussat: Pool and morning view was a plus. The room and bathroom was big. We were offered a full sea view room even if we booked it with partial view, with no extra charge

Miinukset: There was a lot of dust is the room, the pool area was not well maintained, old and dirty plastic sun beds, a lot of dogs around the pool There was no warm watter in the morning, around 11.

Plussat: Nice hotel close to amazing surfing spots. The beach is much better than in most places at Weligama (if u r not surfing)

Miinukset: Too touristic place (lots of people, noise etc.)

Plussat: Comfy bed, nice beach and good location.

Miinukset: Expensive for what it is. A 17% tax was added which we were not aware of including on food and drink. Mini bar prices also excessive. Staff were slow and hard to get their attention. The bar and beach area doubled up for non guests so didn't feel very exclusive given it was supposed to be a high end boutique hotel.

Plussat: Cool place located in front of Welligama’s main surf break nice staff un intrusive but super friendly. Room 1 was great. Good well priced Asian and Western food menus and breakfast choices. If you surf and have money spend well worth a stop and looked good for families too.

Miinukset: Far ends of Welligama beach need a clean up small swimming pool.

Plussat: Fantastic location for a surf holiday. Roll out of bed, have breakfast watching the ocean, and then take the few steps onto the beach and into the water. It is easily the best hotel in the area, even better than the large chain hotel next door. Great staff, great vibe, beautiful clean rooms.

Miinukset: There are quite a lot of mozzies in Weligama so go prepared. The hotel do provide plug-repellent and repellent spray (on request).

Plussat: good location. at the beach in front of surfing point

Miinukset: Very load and disturbing music

Plussat: Impeccably clean, excellent staff, modern architecture.

Miinukset: DJ had no read of the vibe and regularly played too-loud club music when no one was dancing. Pool was closed two mornings out of three, not sure if there is a persistent problem with it.

Plussat: The staff were really attentive and helpful and always polite. The room was spacious and clean and the bathroom lovely. Sun beds were always free and the hotel is right on the beach- perfect! Pizzas were very good too.

Miinukset: It was all very good, the cocktails and drinks are more expensive compared to others but they did taste good. We had a 'partial sea view' which had a small seated area but meant the room didn't get a lot of natural light so on reflection maybe paying more for a full sea view would have been worthwhile.

Plussat: very friendly and helpful staff!

Plussat: The location was right on the beach! The restaurant was amazing. The pizza was very good, and so was the hamburger. My wife enjoyed the avocado toast and I had french toast and fresh pineapple juice for breakfast. I enjoyed being able to lay down under an umbrella and order food and drinks. They even have bodyboards and surfboards for rent. The room was spacious and clean. We also enjoyed using the pool! Staff was helpful! They helped arranged for us to get a car to the airport.

Miinukset: Our room was facing the street,so it was a little noisy.

Plussat: Great pool area and food was good. Very spacious rooms. Great massage at the spa.

Miinukset: The extra activities are way overpriced for what they are. Overall it is an overpriced hotel for what you can get elsewhere in Asia. Staff seems to double cover most requests which is better than no coverage but still feels a little disorganised

Plussat: We very so surprised of food quilter. All decies were delicious. Even if you want something and today it is not in menu, they will still try to do it.

Miinukset: There are to mach staff. Sometimes you have too much of attention, because everyone is coming and trying to speak.

Plussat: I have just returned from 5 wonderful days at the Cape Weligama Hotel. This was a special holiday to celebrate my 50th birthday, my daughter’s 18th birthday and our friend’s 30th birthday. It was my second visit to this beautiful and tranquil place and we could not have asked for anything more to make this a truly memorable and special holiday. The hotel is set in a stunning location over looking the ocean and provides a blissful retreat from both the stresses of every day life and from the hustle and bustle lifestyle of the surfers paradise that surrounds it. We were given an upgrade to a beautiful private villa with swimming pool that we had to ourselves. The staff were attentive without being intrusive and made us feel extremely welcome, confortable and cared for. Our every need and requests were quickly and professionally dealt with from arranging tours to bringing extra towels. Our thoughtful personal manager Venura was discreetly available 24/7 to help us with any query. His service was second to none and he went far above and beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful holiday. The food at this hotel is all prepared on an individual and fresh basis. There is not one buffet in sight! And it is the most delicious food ever. Chef Vinnol personally greeted us every day and we spent a delightful afternoon with him learning to cook Sri Lankan curries and food.... such fun and highly recommended. The hotel organized a delightful special dinner for us to celebrate our birthdays.... in short nothing was overlooked or too much trouble. We came back from this beautiful place rejuvenated, relaxed and very happy that we had chosen it to celebrate our special birthdays in.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We loved everything! From the stunning suites to the breath taking views by the halfmoon pool, to the lawn games, and the relaxing massages we indulged in, absolutely everything and everyone exceeded our expectations! The breakfasts are delicious and they’re so accommodating and really go above and beyond to ensure you’re satisfied!

Plussat: The staff were super nice and always there to help!

Miinukset: We really liked the place but found sleeping with earplugs helped us sleep alittle better. You are on a busy road which is a great location to be. Just can be alittle disruptive at times.

Plussat: Suranga and his family are super nice and were helpful! When we couldn’t reach our taxidriver to go to Ella he helped us with some calls! The room was clean. The hotel is close to the city center (3min) and 10min walk to our favourite surfspot! If you‘re interested in fitness, the gym is also just 3-5min away. Laundry service is also really close! All in all we can highly recommend the surasa beach resort! We would definitely come back to stay at Surangas hotel! + Extra plus: the hotel provides a kitchen ne kitchen equipment on each floor! Jus make sure to clean it yourself before using, because not all guest care about cleaning there stuff.

Plussat: The room was quiet (some places on the main road are really loud day and night, Surasa was nice and quiet even though it is right on the main road) and AC was great. Room was clean and more than good for the price. You can use kitchen and a fridge as you want.

Plussat: Helpful staff. Location close to the beach.

Miinukset: Stinky rooms, smell of a mold. Small, dark, not cozy rooms. Dirty kitchen. No hot water. Noisy rooms (hotel situated on a freeway).

Plussat: Nice and kind staff who cares about the costumer. More than worth it value

Miinukset: No hot water in the shower

Plussat: Amazing sea view and staff.

Miinukset: There is no television in the room otherwise everything is good

Plussat: Great location and beautiful views. Friendly staff, especially with our baby daughter. Claudie was very helpful at all times and gave us good recommendations. Nice snorkelling right in front of the hotel.

Miinukset: Furniture & linen could be renewed.

Plussat: Very quiet place with friendly and hospitable stuff. If you want to chill out or to concentrate on your work with perfect sea view you can't find better place. But if you like parties and night life prepare to go to Weligama or Merissa by bus or tuk-tuk. Fast access to the beach where you can swim and snorkle. No big waves thanks to the reef. Breakfast is plain but tasty. No mosquitos. :) Fast Wi-Fi in the room.

Miinukset: Blackouts for 5-15 minutes almost every day. But it is usual thing on Sri Lanka. No Wi-Fi in public areas.

Plussat: - Seaview was breathtaking (you can nearly jump into the water from your balkony) - Dinner was really good - A/C and facilities worked fine

Miinukset: Staff could have been opener, more interested or accommodating towards us since we were nearly the only guests. For that price (it was by far the most expensive hotel we booked through our whole Sri Lanka journey) we expected a broader variety for breakfast. Only Cash although booking.com and the hotel's entrance claims otherwise.

Plussat: The views are incredible, sea view on the point of Weligama bay. The staff were always friendly and helpful with transport, and Saji took me on a brief tour of the area to get my bearings when I arrived. Working through the menu, had the coconut prawns .. cooked by Dulip, incredible , never been served anything like them in all years of travelling. Fresh prawns cooked in a light crispy coconut batter, salad dressed in subtle mango dressing with saffron rice .. can’t believe this recipe has not reached the west.

Miinukset: The sacrifice is the location vs being in the town , you’ll need to account for Tuctucs to get in and out or hire a moped, all super cheap £1.25 for tuc tuc journey and that’s without haggling.

Plussat: Location, sea view

Miinukset: Poor breakfast, part of staff very helpful, other part not helpful Very small room Multiple ants in the room Price too high Don’t want to accept credit cards

Plussat: The private beach and the sea view

Miinukset: The road leading to the property was narrow and wasn’t pleasant. At the point of checking in I was told of a 3% additional charge if I’m paying by the card, which I disagreed since the app said inclusive of all charges. Breakfast was toast, jam butter and egg. Toast bread was in bad shape. However the other guests were served fruits and pancakes, so I’m not sure if this was for the booking.com app booking or was it because we were locals. Maintenance seemed to be needed attention. Definitely can do better, gem of a view and beach just in front.

Plussat: You basically have you’re own private beach here! And we saw stingrays and turtles while snorkelling in this small cove! Amazing experience, food and staff are nice, rooms are great especially the sea view option.

Miinukset: A good tuk tuk ride away from Welligama centre but that only costs £1.50 each way! Worth it for the private beach

Plussat: Perfect Service, best location to the surfspot and it is really cheap to rent a board. The food is also good in price and taste.

Miinukset: The spot is totally crowded. We saw many accidents at our stay.

Plussat: Super location right on the beach! Hotel stuff is super friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Great location, great sun beds, great surf at the doorstep.

Miinukset: Bathroom was a bit tired, in need of a good scrub. But even that was not too bad.

Plussat: Very good location, friendly and helpful staff. If you like surfing, it is the right place to be.

Plussat: Breakfast was fresh. Location was excellent! Stuff was very friendly.

Plussat: Nothing can be appreciated. Neither the staff, facility, surrounding, security.

Miinukset: That was my worst experience in SriLanka and one of the most expensive. People weren’t helpful, only looking for some extra money. Card terminal works from time to time. I cannot blame the weather but can blame no answer for my mails of complaint. Totally NOT recommended.

Plussat: The view

Miinukset: 1st night aircon very noisy and dripping water( had to sleep with ear plugs) bathrobe not clean can smell the perfume of previous guest, breakfast chocking , staff doesn’t look happy to work there. I can’t advertise for this place , I WILL NEVER GO BACK I am traveling now for the last 3 weeks and it’s the first time it happens

Miinukset: They dont have a restaurant. That makes things very difficult.

Plussat: Good hospitality

Plussat: Ocean is 5 m from pool, late breakfast in the room at 11 if necessary. Only few people staying in this property

Miinukset: No minibar, no water, no staff during night hours.

Plussat: Fastastic location and facilities. A real paradise

Miinukset: No kitchen, restaurant or catering service available. Breakfast it was included and it was amazing. With a minimum offer for lunch and dinner it will be perfect

Plussat: Room decor

Miinukset: Organisation , staff management of resort, hosts welcome , beach access , lighting in evening

Miinukset: Not worth the Money at all.

Plussat: Room was nice spacious and clean. However, the plunge pool attached with room had dirty water.

Miinukset: Staff- never seen such bad service as this place.

Plussat: The staff were nice. Special thanks to Chatura who waited on us during dinner where we opted for the Ala Carte meal. Check in and check out was fast as well. The room itself was good though nothing special. We got the lagoon view room where I enjoyed staying out on the balcony where it was nice and calming.

Miinukset: The main issue I had was the lack of proper hotel taxi services. Everywhere obnoxious prices are quoted by tuk tuk drivers. I understand the Hotel cant control this but I really think having a set of cabs/tuk tuks that charge your clients reasonable rates would be a great idea. We wanted to travel 15km from the hotel and asked the reception to help find a cab. They got back to us with a quote of 4000 LKR which like 250 LKR Per KM. To put this in perspective, in Colombo (capital of the city) we paid around 50 LKR per KM. If you want a nicer cab this will probs be max 100 LKR per KM. Thus the taxi suggested was grossly over priced! In short my suggestion is have either your own, or a set of cab drivers that you trust, charge your clients on a mileage basis at reasonable rates. Implementation may be difficult perhaps with village thugs but I think it's high time something is done as Mirissa is such a nice place for tourists to visit!

Plussat: Location quiet and on the beach which was good, but advertised as Mirissa which it wasn't. A fairly long walk to Weligama for alternative dining options.

Miinukset: Food service was slow in the restaurant. Not enough Sri Lankan food and what was there was fairly bland- there was more of an attempt to provide western food.

Plussat: There was a dog giving birth to puppies. That was lovely!

Miinukset: Completely over priced. Would stay away. One quieter beach but nicer places to stay in similar location.

Plussat: Amazing staff hospitality, live music during the dinner, food quality and price very good. Close to port so you can go to see blue whales in the ocean

Miinukset: Massage rates are very high-not worth it, the beach needs a cleaning

Plussat: Comfortable family room. Very clean. Service was good and the staff helpful. Food was good. There are a couple of local guys (based next to the hotel) offering surfing lessons who were great.

Miinukset: Such a disappointment... When we arrived to this huge hotel we had a warm welcome but after that it just went wrong. - The floor where our rooms were, sounded like a factory, the air-condition machines are placed on the aisle next to the front door of your room. So there is a constant noise because everyone around you is using them. When we mentioned it they told us that we can go to another room, of course it didn't happen but I'm sure that all the rooms have the same problem. -The wifi wasn't working, they even placed a router in my room but still sign of connection. -There was no water pressure on the second floor so it was impossible to get a proper shower. -There was no electricity all day long. -We asked them to wash our clothes, it took 2 whole days to get them back and they destroyed more than three t-shirts and shorts. After this we got the bill of 5500 LKR and of course we didn't want to pay because of the circumstances I've just mentioned, the lady raised her voice and started to throw the clothes and her pen and notebook on the floor. Very unprofessional. -The 'open' kitchen is disgusting, full of flies and not hygienic. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. You're just a number for them, not a guest.

Plussat: Simple but good breakfast. Nice swimming pool Directly on the beach, and on a local surf spot. Nice and kind team.

Miinukset: The hotel doesn't look really finished, still under construction. The surf school of the hotel accept only Russian people, apparently they don't have English speaking teachers. Good to see that there are 2 other local surf school 100m around.

Plussat: love beach front

Miinukset: Time to fix a lift..

Plussat: Next to ocean and surfing school “surfdiscovery”. Room is clean and big, good choice of TV channels, safe, kettle, bed is perfect for sleeping. Big terrace outside room.

Miinukset: A lot of wild dogs and cats are being at territory of hotel. Due to palms growing through hotel construction there is a lot of water inside building during the rain, especially on the stairs what is quite dangerous- too slippery. Electricity not well at the hall and outside hotel ( evening lighting) . At the pool at least one ladder broken-for older people impossible to get in or out of the pool. In the shower ( at least of my room) the bathtub not well installed and water pressure was too low all the time. It needs a lot of time to wait to get hot water.

Plussat: It's a nice beach people who love surfing should visit this place

Miinukset: The rooms n toilet was very big n very clean with a big balcony facing the beach

Plussat: Was right on the beach, 300 rupee for tuk tuk to town. Within walking distance to surf schools. Excellent location for beginner surfers.

Miinukset: Poor wifi. Expensive laundry facilities.

Plussat: The days I spent at this beautiful hotel was a top of the world experience. The location of the hotel, the common areas and the garden are excellent and very well kept and maintained.The staff was friendly and nice. What made me feel like home was the courtesy, the treatment and the world class hospitality of the owner Kuma who was very charming and down to earth. I saw some bad comments about the owner, but he was very helpful for me as alone traveler, he was very helpful owner I saw in sri lanka ever. Weligama is the perfect beach for learning surf, Kuma organize surf lessons for us,Besides having learned how to stand up on the board, read waves, to catch green waves and a lot of theory.surf instructors are very knowledgeable and help full. There is no doubt that we will definitely visit this hotel again and again especially because of the top treatment and hospitality received from kuma, and his team. If you are thinking of a great relaxed holiday don't hesitate to visit this New Lion palace,highly recommended

Miinukset: I don't have to tell any bad thing about this hotel.

Plussat: Host was very friendly. We had good breakfast and tasty tea with local sweets.

Miinukset: Big roach came at 4 am. Beach is far

Plussat: Bed & Bathroom was only good thing for that room

Miinukset: 1. First & foremost thing to mention is Pathetic Behavior of Owner i.e During short stay of just 1 night He didn't bother to care about Privacy.repeatedly peeking at Lady member of the room 2. Standard Budget room didn't have single Mirror & very suffocating indeed and without AC it was damn hot!!! 3. The Area nearby this Hotel was very Dark and not safe as well. 4. Wi-Fi connectivity was very Poor as well as no mobile networks available just inside the Room.

Plussat: Nice territory with sunbeds, close to the ocean, swimming pool, nice breakfast. This is place i want to return.

Miinukset: Room without AC is very stuffy

Plussat: Beachfront Location and Pool Area and friendly staff.

Miinukset: Could be amazing but instead is run down. Broken window locks, mould around the bath, stained towels, sticky dirty menu's which kind of puts you off eating. Three flights of steep stairs.

Plussat: Beautiful, quiet, beach is nice, service staff very friendly)

Plussat: Value for money, pool and beach infront of the hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing to complaint

Miinukset: No a/c ; party playing drums til 2am on the beach was bothersome.

Plussat: Great location by the ocean in a quite place with good cafes around ('Dorian' and 'Waffles' are exceptionally tasty). Nice and clean swimming pool. Very friendly and helpful receptionist with good English. He helped us to organize a wounderful trip to Ella. Thanks! Fruit plate and juice at breakfast.

Miinukset: 1) ALL towels and bathrobes with awfull yellow stains. For this price in Sri-Lanka it could be cleaner. 2) Some insects in bed that left bites on me (that itch for more than 3 weeks already)! 3) Our big company rented 4 rooms. At the check-out there was an ugly situation: we were charged for 4 bottles of water we asked once (although we didn't ask for cleaning that day so didn't get our free water bottles). And it costed 3 times more, than in any shop (220 Rupiah per bottle). 4) Restaurant closes at 5 p.m. No tasty dishes. No seafood or fish. Breakfasts sometimes smelled wilth mould and bread was often hard. 5) There is no place to dry wet clothes. Some hooks and clothes dryer in the room would be nice.

Plussat: Outdoor chill out zone

Miinukset: Small room without conditioner, without outside windows, bad air circulation and not clean.
