We had a great time here. The staff was kind and helpful: one evening there was a party at the hotel and we could not sleep. They quickly came up with a solution. The location is convenient and the hotel and room are beautiful.

The shower sink was not cleaned properly causing the shower to flood. The breakfast options were a bit limited. There is quite some reconstruction work going on around the hotel causing noise, but this is ofcourse out of the hotels’ control.

We had an amazing room with a great sea view (room No 1), smelt gorgeous & had a birthday card waiting for me, lovely touch. Great location on the beach, the best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka & the hotel food was great. Attentive staff who were friendly & accommodating, they couldn't do enough for you. All in all we had an amazing stay at Kingfisher.

We liked everything especially the seafood platter :-) food was excellent, staff very friendly and very helpful. Looking forward to seeing the new extension when completed. The location was excellent.

We could not get a beach towel when we arrived even though we asked 3 times. We had to wait until breakfast the next day. If check in is after 1pm then beach towels should be available all day.

We stayed 3 nights in this lovely hotel. Our room had a huge balcony with great views of the beach and sea. . Staff very friendly and provided great service throughout our stay. Lovely cooked breakfast which we chose English and it came freshly cooked. We ate at the restaurant on our first night and again the food was delicious and plentiful. We highly recommend this hotel.

Fabulous location right on the beach. The guy on the door was outstanding.

Important to note the late night loud party on a Saturday night. We weren’t so keen on the bacon and sausage breakfast but the staff were very keen to provide us with another option.
