"The Hambutota Shangra-La was very nice with ocean side access and amenities that made our 3 day stay very enjoyable. Two situations affected our stay. First, a last minute request for a second room met with a delay as room accessories needed to be repaired. Unfortunately, there was a one hour delay in accommodating the additional guests though important efforts were made to ameliorate the problem.
Secondly, one guest took a fall and was attended to repeatedly with palliative care brought to the guest's room. Otherwise, the pool and breakfast buffet were wonderful."
"My parents were there to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and although we celebrated a little late, they had such a wonderful experience.
Quoting my dad “The birthday arrangement was beautiful, the cake was lovely, and the famous DoubleTree cookie was the best. The breakfast and dinner buffets were both excellent, and the amenities were exceptional.”
What really stood out to them was the warmth and attention to detail throughout their stay.
My mum still can’t stop complimenting the food; my parents have travelled all around Sri Lanka and tried many different cuisines, so coming from them, that is actually really huge to hear!
Next time I’m in Lanka, I already know where my first stop will be.
10/10 for such a great stay!"
"We stayed here for a few days to go to Yala National Park and Hotel Elephant Eye was a great location for taking a SAFARI Tour. The owner is very friendly and the staff are very hardworking. The property is very well maintained. Room was clean and comfortable. We had breakfast in the restaurant. Easy walk or Tuk tuk to town for restaurants and grocery stores."
"Every member of staff that we met from arrival to departure was fantastic.
Very polite, courteous & extremely helpful.
Catered for all our needs.
We booked this place last minute due to having to change our original plan (Kandy & Ella) because of the recent Cyclone.
Although Lagoon Gate can appear a little isolated it is an absolute gem as you are in and amongst nature & right on the Lagoons edge.
It is so easy to get out & about, the staff will order Tuk Tuks or Taxis for you or if you feel adventurous you have free use of bikes which we made full use of.
Also, the hotel provides use of Kayaks to use on the Lagoon.
The rooms are spacious & very clean overlooking Rekawa Lagoon.
We had evening meals in the hotel on several occasions & I have to say, the authentic Sri Lankan Curry was outstanding!
Breakfast is delightful with a good choice & freshly made.
Would definitely recommend this place.
Arrived as guests, left as friends!"
