  • Fantastic ! Proud to be a Sri Lankan
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/21/07
    I stayed here twice with my wife. we are Belgians and visit Sri Lanka on a Yearly basis. since i was a Sri Lankan, i got the local rate which is cheaper than the forign rates, although not by a huge margin.
    we enjoyed every moment here, not to mention the food and the lavish buffet spread out every evening. you are always responded to, with a ...

  • awful place
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/23/07
    I would not stay here ever again. Unclean, food dangerous, staff not pleasant. Beds uncomfortable and rooms very small. Bathroom not clean.
    Nicer places down the road, better locations too.

  • Don't stay here!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/12/07
    This previously 4 star hotel (in the 1980's) is in total decline. It's way over priced !! The building and utilities are not maintained properly, the rooms are shabby (torn curtains, power outlets falling out of walls, paint peeling,bathroom fittings and tiles broken and chipped). Room cleaning is a joke..there are cobwebs, dirt etc. The ...

  • Great place!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/18/06
    First of all it's probably best if you visit this place outside the season. Then the hotel is really peaceful and spacious (no problems with sitting in the garden etc.). Nice service, friendly people, clean rooms (only a few gekko's) and enough facilities. Location is great as well (except from 3,5 hours drive from the airport), with Eagle ...

  • Really enjoyable
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/26/06
    The hotel is comfortable, very clean, with a nice garden, pool and bar by the sea, and extremely good food. What was exceptional was the friendly, helpful and obliging staff.

  • Mixed feelings
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/16/06
    Pro: The place is nicely located. There is reef nearby great for snorkelling, although the reef itself is mostly dead. We have seen murenas, scorpenas, turtles, etc. (even an octopus). The rooms are vast. All of them with a beatiful sea view. The service and drinks are OK. Nothing great but just OK. The food is tasty with many changes day after ...

  • Friendly staff-almost like being home
    By J. Kay, 02/07/06
    We took a group of sixty-four 14 year olds for a week of education and adventure. the grounds of the hotel was fantastic for the students to roam around. We also used the grounds for our Team Building activities.

    The food was fantastic...lots of variety to choose from off of the buffet. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all ample food. I ...

  • We don't think to go back there
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/26/06
    I went to practice scuba diving to Hikkaduwa and spent two weeks in Coral Gardens hotel last December.
    Firt of all, nobody informed us that almost half of it's land with their own diving center has been taken by 2004 tsunami. A very old building, with extremely obsolete infrastructure like electric supply generators, radio, phone and air ...

  • paradise
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/28/05
    I liked the hotel and the sorrounding. The staff was very friendly, food was delicious, even the room service at midnight was available. It's true that the birds are very noisy but one gets used to it. I can only say: paradise.
