Hotel in zona NLDB sale store, Hambantota

One of the best hotels we have stayed in our travels. Luxury amenities, great views, comfy rooms and everything is thought of in advance when they built the hotel. Exceptional service & the warm welcome make you feel that you have been taken care of when you arrive. Anjuna looked after us when we checked in along with everyone else. Exceptional staff that always serves with a smile. We would like to say a big thank you to for their great hospitality, attention, kindness & care along with all other staff members at Anjuna Hashan. We had dinner tonight at Gimanhala & again we were served with the same warmth, kindness, attention & care with big smiles on their faces by Vihanga. These gems should be treasured. We will continue to update our stay at Shangri-la in Hambantota as we go along. The food was excellent too 😋

La spiaggia dell'hotel è troppo ondulata per nuotare e può solo crogiolarsi al sole. Ma non lontano, c'è un'altra spiaggia pubblica a più di 100 metri, dove è possibile fare il bagno. Ci sono molte scelte per colazione e cena a buffet e il gusto è buono. Certo, ci sono errori occasionali, come la spalla di manzo alla griglia troppo cruda. Ci sono poche cose per far divertire i bambini. C'è una sala giochi dove puoi disegnare, guardare la TV, giocare, ecc., Ma la manutenzione non è molto buona. Il servizio è generalmente buono, inaugurato. Tuttavia, ci sono più ingredienti per lo spettacolo e alcuni dettagli richiedono attenzione. Nel complesso, il rapporto prezzo / prestazioni è nella media e dovrebbe essere fatto.

L'hotel è situato in una grande posizione, vicino al Parco Yalla. La nostra camera ha una bella vista sul lago. Molte grazie al manager che ci ha aiutato a organizzare il nostro safari. Voglio sottolineare il comportamento strano delle signore alla reception. Non orientato al cliente.

We selected Kithala Resort for a 2-day getaway. We required a place that suited all members of our family - youngest being 3 years to the eldest being 87! :) And Kithala delivered!! The hotel is located in a nice area very close to Tissamaharama town and Tissa Wewa. Easily accessible by Expressway from Colombo. The food was top notch! Rooms and other areas were clean, airy and comfortable. The pool was clean and nice too. They have one Suite Room (which we booked). The deluxe rooms are lovely, but the Suite Room is very spacious with a separate living area and 03 balconies. But the real highlight was the service. We spent two AMAZING days at this property being spoiled by their lovely staff! :) Kithala Resort is gifted with a dedicated, hard working team. All smiles! Surangi made sure our special requests for accessibility and comfort for our grandmother was met. It was my husband's birthday, and they offered a complimentary cake to celebrate. Amali offered the best service at meals. Our picky-eating 3-year old had enough options at meals, but they offered to prepare anything we requested. A big THANK YOU! From the housekeeping staff to the management, it showed that they made it their mission to make sure the guests are happy, relaxed and well looked after. Whatever special request we made, they delivered! This stay was one of the most relaxing local stays we had. We recommend Kithala Resort to anyone, and sure hope to visit again!

The hotel is not that simple to get to. Once you leave a nice hard top road, you have to drive down a long dirt road for about 10 mins to get to the hotel itself. That road can become a bit flooded if it rains hard - as it did on one day we were there - and that can prevent some guests getting in and out of the hotel. We’d had a lovely quiet evening meal one night and only found out afterwards that there had been a large group due in but couldn’t get down the road. Generally, it’s ‘normal’ vehicles and buses that bring people but, on occasion, a 4x4 would be better. On the days we arrived and left the roads were passable but you could see how they become easily impassable with rivulets running across it. The hotel though is lovely. The old one was washed away in the tsunami but the replacement looks strongly built, with its exposed concrete and stone construction there for all to see. That doesn’t make it cold and like a factory though. Far from it. It feels like it belongs where it is and its appropriate for a climate that varied between sun, wind and heavy rain whilst we were there. Whilst there are bedrooms on the ground floor (plus the gym and spa), most of the hotel’s common spaces are on the top floor, where reception, the bar and a la carte restaurant are. The main restaurant is one floor down, which has a nice view from the verandas around the outside. We had drinks in the bar on a couple of evenings, choosing to sit on the covered balcony as the indoor space - complete with pool table - whilst lovely was rather cold. The cocktails we had were really well made and come with our recommendation. We didn’t try the a la carte restaurant. Frankly, there was no need to from a food perspective. It was excellent all the time in the main one. The hotel tends to get large groups stay, who like to sit together (and create quite a noise), so the main restaurant can get quite noisy. The a la carte would offer a break from that as it’s in its own, quiet space. We genuinely couldn’t fault the food at the hotel. Breakfast always had a large choice ranging from cold offerings, cereal and salad, through to traditional Sri Lankan and hot western options. Tea and coffee was to order whilst you helped yourself to juice. The story was similar for evening meals too. If anything, evening meals catered less for western palettes and more for the Chinese guests that frequent the hotel. There were always lots of local Sri Lankan dishes too, which were simply delicious. All the hot food was outside the main restaurant space, under cover, with much of it being cooked in front of you. The cold starters and desserts were indoors. I have to say, one odd highlight was the soups. Every night there were 2 soups on offer and they were really good. I did have a tiny bug bear sometimes, which correlated with the busiest nights. That was the staff were a little too keen to clear plates. On occasion, you’d literally be chewing still and hadn’t quite put your cutlery dow

We stayed at Cinnamon wild for 1 night and had the best time. We went on the 2pm tour organised by the hotel and saw so many animals. Our guide Sudath and the driver Suranga were really informative and friendly. Sudath even offered to show us more wildlife films once the tour was over because we were so interested in the park and the wildlife. We booked the jungle chalet which was really nice and felt like we were in the heart of the jungle! It also had all the amenities that we needed including a kettle, minibar, safe, iron and shower products. We had the buffet lunch, dinner and breakfast the next morning with the hotel. The food was exceptional and had a lot of range. In particular the staff were the best part of the experience as they were so helpful and courteous. Malintha and Ratnayake were really friendly and helpful during our stay. They showed us how to get to the beach and gave us some tips on other places to visit which helped us out a lot. They spent some time conversing with us which allowed us to feel more at home and also get to know the Sri Lankan people and place better. Thank you both! Overall this was an amazing place to stay, with really helpful staff that go out of their way to help you and make your stay amazing.

Siamo arrivati in orario per l’aperitivo in spiaggia, ottimi cocktail in una cornice stupenda . Cena molto buona , persino lo strudel ( al rabarbaro , mela e gelato alla cannella) mi ha sorprendentemente soddisfatto. Alla 5,30 di mattina , siamo partiti per un entusiasmante Safari, tra orsi , elefanti, coccodrilli, bufali d’acqua ecc ( purtroppo non abbiamo visto il leopardo ma siamo stati ugualmente soddisfatti) Colazione e pranzo buonissimi Spa efficiente . Uno dei posti dove siamo stati in Srilanka. Complimenti a tutto lo staff
