Ahu Bay resort is practically brand new and perfect. The rooms are modern, and sparkling clean! The setting is spectacular resting right on the beach. The sound of the waves add a totally relaxing atmosphere. Every one of the staff are kind, thoughtful and attentive. The food is superb and the talented chief is also happy to make anything special you might like to request. The beautiful infinity pool beckons, or walk down a flight of stairs to the white sand beach and the waves below. Lounge chairs are available on the beach. For additional relaxing comfort a complete Spa experience is available! Another 10 out of 10 experience!
Lunuganga is an extraordinary and deeply personal place created by Bawa over many decades. Staying at Lunuganga allowed us to experience its potency through the day and into the late evening to better grasp its beauty, complexity and his masterful vision. It's now a few weeks since we left and I think about it constantly. It isn't like anywhere else. We stayed in Bawa's bedroom with outdoor bathing courtyard, which for us was worth the additional cost. The staff were so very thoughtful and attentive - it could not have been a better stay. Thank you to the Lunuganga Trust and Teardrop Hotels for taking such good care of this unique piece of Sri Lankan architectural heritage. You've adapted it elegantly to allow it to be used successfully as a small hotel which we hope will ensure access to Lunuganga for decades to come. I will of course recommend it to anyone with an interest in C20 art, architecture and landscape - make this pilgrimage.
Amangalla lies within the ramparts of Sri Lanka’s 17th-century Galle Fort, a Unesco World Heritage Site. Offering views of the Fort and harbour on one side and the hotel’s lush gardens and swimming pool on the other, the historic residence, which has welcomed guests for over 150 years, presents lofty-ceilinged suites, elegant dining and a tranquil Spa complete with Hydrotherapy Suites.
Amangalla offers guests a sublime taste of International cuisine as well as Sri Lanka’s legendary flavours in a host of atmospheric settings - from candlelit dining in the Dining Room to the indulgence of afternoon teas on the sunny veranda and long lazy lunches by the pool.
The ramparts of Galle Fort hold within a bustling time capsule – narrow streets lined with old houses, churches, boutiques and restaurants displaying their Dutch and British colonial heritage. Simply step off Amangalla’s veranda to explore this world, or venture farther afield with an Aman guide to discover the region’s temples, beaches and blue whales on personalised journeys.
Reflecting Galle Fort’s rich colonial legacy, Amangalla Rooms, Chambers and Suites feature private bathrooms with separate bathtubs and showers. Conveniences include safes and desks, and housekeeping is provided daily. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Our stay at Ceylon Olive Galle Hotel exceeded all expectations. The hotel was impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect retreat in Galle. However, what truly made our stay exceptional was the owner, Kumudu, who went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met. His warm hospitality and willingness to accommodate our requests made us feel truly valued. The entire staff mirrored his dedication, and we cannot praise them enough for their excellent service. I wholeheartedly recommend Ceylon Olive Galle Hotel to anyone seeking a memorable stay at a charming boutique hotel in Galle.
A beautiful calm and luxurious hotel in the middle of Galle Fort. Lots of lovely touches to make you feel special like complimentary afternoon tea/coffee and cake, complimentary happy hour, free mini bar in the room, wonderful staff who are warm and sincere, nothing is too much trouble. The small number of rooms adds to the personal feel of the hotel.
Nice hotel in a great location. The service was also great, but there was a minor miscommunication regarding transport to the airport - my recommendation would be to try and confirm with other guests not the hotel whether they would like to share a taxi to the airport
MMichael8787Великолепный мини-отель.
Один из лучших на острове.
Очень дружелюбный персонал, небольшое количество номеров. Хоть и по меню, но очень вкусный и разнообразный завтрак. Панорамный бассейн с великолепным видом. Рядом - один из лучших пляжей острова без волн - Jungle beach. Очень советую выбирать это место. Кстати, кому достанется вид на сад советую не расстраиваться - море оттуда тоже видно. В общем, прекрасный бутик-отель.
Positives The place is not catered as a hotel ideally instead it’s more of a the pass visitors to eat drink and spend nice time at the beach and that's pretty much it. Negatives The customer service of most of the staff was not good and were not attentive at all to what we were requesting and asking us the same question multiple times probably because of language barrier We booked an executive suite however the line was dirty in our room. The hotel was playing loud music most of the day until 11 o’clock at night which I’m perfectly fine with however you could hear the music in the rooms as well making it difficult for kids to sleep in the room at the same time. We had no Wi-Fi in the rooms and the hotel seem to be clueless how to fix it and easy thing for them to say was that it was an Internet service provider issue. however, all of a sudden on the second day the hotel was able to give us a new user password to a different WiFi. My question is why not give it on the first day itself when the Internet issue was there. The hotel is in no way classified to be called as a small luxury hotel, but more of a mere three star hotel strange to say but we were at a tropical place and that ran out of pineapple juice and hence they could not serve any pineapple based cocktails their answer was yes it’s on the way and should be there in 20 minutes however even pass post 45 minutes the staff either forgot to mention that the drinks were available or just forgot about our order Also getting into our room there was construction happening below our room and above our room as well. so when entering the rooms smelling cement and silica and once you are below the room you are hearing the sounds of cutting wood or marble On the flipside all these comments have been passed on to the manager and the necessary staff. However I would highly discourage hotel guests who think of a dream hotel stay at this property - kindly avoid and if you want to use the property as a place to take nice Instagram photos videos while enjoying your meals and beverages at the beach, nothing more Yes the review has been harsh however really in our 4th trip to SL this property was the 1st major letdown.
Это лучшее место, из которых мы были на Шри-ланке. Очень удобное расположение, рядом есть все что необходимо: пляж, бар, кафе, рынок и т.д. Номер в отеле очень хорош, есть все и балкон с видом на океан и кондиционер и теплая вода и телевизор(который я использовал как второй монитор) и есть общая кухня которую можно использовать как и когда хочешь, а есть и спортзал которые входит в стоимость проживания. Но это не лучшее, лучше отеля это его хозяин - Раджеш. Раджеш - знает все и поможет во всем. Захотели экскурсию - пожалуйста, что и куда угодно; нужны сувениры - пожалуйста, поможет найти дешевле; захотели морепродукты -пожалуйста, съездили купили(очень дешево) и приготовили на кухне отеля; а как он помог мне организовать празднование моей с женой годовщины - это не передать словами. Еще раз спасибо, bro и не забывай, что теперь мы ждем тебя в гости.
ผผู้เข้าพักThe gold bubble was a fantastic place to stay. I was a little worried traveling by myself to Sri Lanka for the first time but the staff at Gold Bubble put me at ease. Upon arrival, I was given one of the staff's what's app numbers, and was able to text any time with any questions I had. They were very attentive and always asked what I was up to for the day. It felt like having 2 brothers help me out on my trip. They served a lovely breakfast every day with fresh fruit, toast, an egg and coffee. Gold Bubble is a comfortable hotel with a 5 star staff. I felt comfortable, it was clean, and I felt safe during my stay. I would book again next time. If you are looking to book a taxi from Colombo to Ahangama add Damith to your WhatsApp and set up a taxi ride with him, he is great +94 77 657 6457
ผผู้เข้าพักThe room was spacious enough and comfortable. The room had a beautiful sea view. We opted for breakfast inclusive package and the food was average. The night we had dinner in the same restaurant and we ordered chicken and it wasn’t cooked well. When we informed the same to the staff he was rude to us and was like this is how we cook the chicken. Other than this we had a good stay
MMichael8787Плюсы отеля - очень неплохой завтрак, ужин. Шведский стол. Очень изобильный. Есть и морепродукты , и местная кухня. Очень вкусно.
Также хочется отметить традиционное для сети Марриот качество постели. Спалось на нем прекрасно.
Пляж в этом месте отличный. Можно спокойно купаться - волны не такие сильные. Всё очень живописно , если пройти налево и направо.
Теперь о недостатках. К сожалению, их больше. Персонал очень не вежлив, чувствовалось, что тебе здесь не рады, делают одолжение. Наигранные улыбки. В день выезда чуть позже 12 на несколько минут персонал стал стучаться в дверь и требовать освободить номер. Разве это достойно такой сети отелей ?
Когда попытался расплатиться на ресепшн картой Юнион Пэй, персонал сказал, что терминал для российских карт не работает. Хотя, в других местах и отелях на Шри-Ланке всё работало без проблем и удавалось оплатить везде. Такое поведение я объясняю неклиенториентированностью, что опять же, очень странно для отеля такой сети, как Марриот и для сервиса.
Также я хочу отметить, что в этом отеле не оказалось ортопедических подушек или любых других подушек - при попытке узнать про эту возможность, мне грубо ответили , что других подушек нет и всё. В общем, за персонал, сервис и его отношение - жирный минус и плохая оценка
ผผู้เข้าพักAlthough it takes you about 15 minutes to get
'guesthouse' from Galle-railway station,
along the main street on the way to
'guesthouse ',there is a big supermarket
with eat-in space.
So,it will be convenient for you to go shopping
the daily necessities and foods.
A friendly owner runs this guesthouse.
As he seemed to take an interest in
studying about the foreign cultures,
especially East Asian.
I was so absorbed in a conversation with
him until late at night.
In the guest house property,
there is not a big swimming pool for guests,
but also a lot of tropical tree...
for instance,Guava,Cinnamon , Mango
trees and so on.
Maybe you will feel like
you have a something of an adventure
while taking a turn in the garden.
A guest room l spent was a large one with a
mosquito net and an electric fan.
Although my room doesn't have air-
conditioning,
it is relatively comfortable for me to stay in one-night.
If I have a chance to go on a trip in Galle,
I would like to visit here again.
Thank you for reading my long document.
