Hotels With Pools in Southern Province, Sri Lanka

"The hotel owner was incredibly kind, friendly, and understanding. The staff were highly qualified and provided excellent service, helping us with our luggage and escorting us to our room. Upon arrival, we were offered welcome drinks and upgraded to a clean and tidy room. The hotel's location was superb, just a 20-minute walk from Turtle Beach, where the soft, clean sand and lapping waves were incredibly soothing, and there were many surfers. On the morning of our departure, a foreign guest was celebrating their birthday, and the hotel provided a birthday cake. We all offered our blessings and shared the cake. Unforgettable memories, a wonderful trip."

"Excellent all Inclusive stay. Yes the liquor is not that high quality, but the meals are simply excellent catering for all nationalities. The place was jam packed with east Europeans and Russians , the crowd was good. Pools are excellent. Beaches are good. Worth staying and enjoyin"

"This is a very large family hotel. It has wonderful, spacious rooms with magnificent sea views. The hotel is right in the heart of all the action; you step out and stroll down the lovely Unawatuna street, lined with numerous restaurants, cafes, and shops. It has its own beach access, but it's rocky. If you walk a bit further down the beach, you'll find a fantastic entry into the sea."

"I really enjoyed the location of this small, cozy hotel. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the room was generally clean. However, there were a few downsides. The food wasn’t really to my taste. On my last day, there was a serious ant problem, even though I was staying on the fourth floor, and I had to call the staff for assistance. I was also disappointed to find out that the hotel didn’t have a spa, which I hadn’t been aware of when booking. The staff explained that the hotel was still relatively new. Additionally, alcohol was not available for purchase. Overall, I appreciated the location and hospitality, but there is definitely room for improvement."

"Excellent hotel! Friendly and polite staff, magnificent hotel grounds, and very decent cuisine. We spent 11 nights here and had a wonderful rest for both body and soul. You can lounge by the pool and walk from there to the ocean, it only takes a minute. The beach is good, but the waves are strong and dangerous, not entirely suitable for children. Adults should also be careful and not go deeper than waist-high; during our stay, 7 people were being swept away and had to be rescued by lifeguards. However, it's always fun to jump on the waves if you're careful. For a change of pace, we took a surfing lesson on the beach. We managed to catch a wave on our very first lesson, so we recommend trying it. The instructors are good, but they are not affiliated with the hotel, as the beach is public. When booking, we were concerned about mentions of a nearby railway and feared it would be noisy. We ended up staying in room 227, which was mentioned in reviews as being noisy. Honestly, we had no problems with it. Sometimes you could hear it, but we never woke up because of it at night. It was more like background noise that you get used to and don't notice. And this is coming from someone who is sensitive to noise. There's definitely no need to worry about it. Overall, the hotel and grounds even exceeded our expectations; everything looks somewhat more modest in the photos. There's absolutely nothing to do around the hotel, and not many places to walk. The town across the bridge is full of touts, and the atmosphere isn't great. In short, we highly recommend it for a quiet family vacation, focusing on the ocean and relaxing by the pool, without active city walks or parties."

"The hotel is amazing! The room is big and tidy, the air conditioner is strong and the beds are very comfortable. Without prior requests, to our surprise, one more bed is arranged for the 3 of us. The manager is super helpful and friendly, he recommended us a lot of nearby attractions. The location is fangastic. It was such a such a nice stay and I will definitely recommend this hotel!"

"Anantara Resort Sri Lanka: Healing Paradise Hidden on the Indian Ocean Anantara is definitely the most amazing surprise on the trip to Sri Lanka, called ”holiday in the holiday” . From the moment you step into the resort, you will be completely wrapped here. The garden-style layout will perfectly blend nature and luxury. Every step is like walking into a postcard. The pool is connected to the blue of the Indian Ocean. Sitting on the beach in the sunset and watching the waves roll over, even time has become gentle. The rooms are impeccable. The door is open to the vast sea view. The bedding is so soft that people don't want to get up. The details are hidden. Even the aroma of the spare parts is reassuring. The dining options are rich and delicious, the Verala restaurant's cuisine is exquisite and authentic, the seafood in the Il Mare restaurant is fresh and colorful, and the room delivery we tried is warm and intimate. The most memorable is the hotel's teasing cooking class, followed by the chef to learn to do Sri Lankan cuisine, became a special memory point during the journey. The service here really translates to ”home away from home”. From welcoming staff to exclusive guest room hosts, everyone with a sincere smile will remember your preferences carefully, the beach lifeguard will take the initiative to hand over towels, and even staff members will climb up the coconut tree in the rain to send fresh king coconut. This intimate but not disturbing care makes the whole stay experience particularly comfortable. Even staying in the hotel all day will never be boring, perfect facilities can meet all needs, and the SPA healing project is a great choice to remove fatigue. When leaving, I am reluctant to leave, the scenery, food and warm people here have become the most precious memories of Sri Lanka, and will definitely come back again!"

"This hotel is located in a beautiful location with fantastic views of the bay. Unfortunately, there was a lot of work so you could get some noise burden on some places. Fortunately, this wasn't the case in our room. The staff is very helpful and friendly. There is a lot of damage to the main building in the main restaurant, which needs attention. The water was colder during the shower, and the pressure went down, and after a message, it was remedied the next day. The mini golf course is full of cracks and is replaceable. There is an animation program, including the possibility of table tennis, and a pleasant animator. A great sleep and a good breakfast with choice from many types of breads, fruit, coating and local food, warm and cold. Directly on the beach and easily accessible by walking."

"One of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed in in the Galle area. It's a wonderful, beautiful, and peaceful hotel. It's also one of the most stunning beach hotels in Galle. It boasts a magical ocean view, spacious and clean rooms, and a truly fantastic pool. The staff are friendly, and their service is prompt. The breakfast is varied, and the place is suitable for both families and couples. I highly recommend staying here!"
