The location of the hotel right by the sea is very beautiful. The room was very spacious and comfortably furnished. The breakfast buffet was fantastic and left nothing to be desired. Guest relations were very helpful, and I especially enjoyed the meditation session. Also activities like ping pong and badminton were a lot of fun, and the cultural show in the evening was a wonderful experience.

The bathroom door didn’t close properly, and it would be great if the wall between the shower and toilet were fully sealed to prevent water from flowing into the toilet area.

Convenient location, nice facilities apart from on oddly shallow pool, however the Ocean is on your doorstep. All the staff and front desk managers very helpful. Evening bar staff delightful and provided great service. Breakfast staff spot on also. Unfortunate usual large hotel sun lounger hoggers, over 50% of the beds were normally occupied by a towel or book. Also sad to see some absolute 🐷 at breakfast with whole platters of food enough for ten people not just the two of them gluttonous behaviour is so distasteful. Good food though. The roof top is screaming out for a bar or something it seems a waste. You won’t be dissatisfied.

Roof space seems wasted

Very nice hotel infrastructure, directly located at the beach. Very good for surf vacation. The buffet in the morning was really nice and favoured Indian, Sri Lankan and Western food options which also was nice that you did not need to eat the same thing every day. Also the location of the hotel was pretty amazing. We had a Ocean View room and it was simply amazing, looking at the sea from the 8th floor every morning. Also the beds were super amazing and comfortable. Also the hotel is surrounded by a number of good restaurants.

The snack buffet at the pool could include some more varieties - it's a lot of fatty food with almost no vegatarian options. Also we our room included a mini bar refill every day which was rather disappointing: the minibar contained of only a can of Fanta and 3 types of snacks. I'd rather would have expected to get some more drink options (e.g. a sparkling water, coke, beer). As well, from a pricing perspective the drink/food in the hotel was rather expensive compared to the price levels outside of the hotel facilities (e.g. a beer was 3x the price what you normally pay).

Our room was amazing, on a high floor and overlooking Weligama beach. It was large, very clean and since it was our honeymoon the staff left a 'happy honeymoon' message in petals on the bed. They also left us a complimentary chocolate cake. The hotel was perfect to immerse ourselves on the beach for a couple of days. I also love that they use their space on the ground floor to show artwork for sale by local artists - it was the only hotel we stayed in that did this!

The staff was amazing except for one chef who was visibly annoyed when our waiter told him I could not have butter and therefore had to send back my plate of pesto pasta (which unexpectedly had cream added into it). They staff were kind enough to offer me a new dish with only the pesto, no cream, which I appreciated. The hotel also has a $250 limit on 'incidentals' which if exceeded, they send you a note asking to settle the bill immediately instead of waiting until check out.

we liked the accomodation and the rooms and the staff where very good

1. The dinner buffet had a very limited selection, especially for children. The menu was primarily Indian-oriented, and it would have been better to include a broader range of continental options. 2. The Kids Club has a great concept, but it needs improvement in promoting its schedule and better communication to encourage more participation. Many activities were frequently canceled due to low attendance, which could be avoided with better outreach and engagement.

Breakfast was good. Dinner at the high end restaurant was very good For the dinner buffet, I had expected more Sri Lankan dishes rather than the usual hoppers and milk rice etc. I am sure there are a variety of local dishes. Was looking forward to such a buffet. The room was very nice. However, it would be good to make the room and hotel a little brighter as it was quite dim in many places...do not have to be too bright. In the room, where the safe was, I could not see as there was no light and when opening the cupboard door, it blocked it the light. Had to use my phone torch.

Nothing really

The room was fantastic and very clean. We enjoyed the view from the 8th floor and experiencing the sunset every evening was an amazing feeling. Breakfast was divine, the choices of dishes was spot on and we had a different cuisine each day. Sri Lankan hoppers and fish curry was my favorite. I want to take this opportunity to say massive thank you 2 staff. Nishadi Gunawardena who checked on us everyday to make sure we were happy. Honestly we were more than happy! Also Asanka the Bar manager near the lobby, he was exceptional in his service. we enjoyed going to the bar every evening cos of him before dinner.

We had a nice welcome upon checking in, and the instructions given by the front desk were very clear. We also had our own guest relations officer which was a nice touch. The breakfast buffet was pretty awesome, I loved the selection of curries to go with the Sri Lankan breakfast items, and they even had rice congee which was a first on our trip for us. The room was veryyy comfortable and the bed was perfectly firm. There was a slight problem with the blinds in the room when we checked in, but they got it fixed within 15 minutes. I used the gym in the morning and was pleasantly surprised to find barbells available which is great. The equipment is well kept and there is a good variety of machines available. The location of the hotel is perfect if you plan to do some surfing, it's easy to find a surf school just on weligama beach, steps away from the hotel. We used the spa on our last morning there and I had a good experience with the therapist and the booking of the spa session was also very seamless. Overall it was a great experience from all touch points, from the check in, to the in room service, restaurant, gym, spa, and also at check out. It's a five star hotel so of course it's going to be expensive, but worth the price if you want to have a relaxing holiday by the beach.

The lifts had a power outage at some point and we were stuck for just a minute before the doors opened. We took the stairs after that to be safe. Not a huge issue since no one was hurt but definitely unexpected.

the hotel was exceptional! the room and all hotel facilities were extra clean and tidy. the staff was nice and helped me at any time with any request. My assistant at the Hotel Sanduni was beneficial and helped me a lot, it was conducive to having a personal assistant. the breakfast was extra diversified and everything was fresh and tasty. the hotel had a lot of activities such as a cocktail workshop, yoga, a game room, a pool, surfing lessons, and much more. The yoga class had a great yoga instructor too, I enjoyed having yoga training in the morning. The hotel was in a great spot in the city, next to a beautiful beach with a great view.

I liked everything. I highly recommend staying at this hotel.

We loved our stay. The view was divine (we were on the 9th floor). The room was spacious. The bed was so comfortable. The service and the little details were incredible. We would definitely stay again.

The downsides were the cost of the spa and food. We each had a massage at 50% off which was "normal" international prices, would never have paid the full price. The food was so expensive compared to the rest of Sri Lanka so would recommend eating outside the hotel, there are some really nice cafes nearby.
