Citrus Waskaduwa

Bell'hotel in cui siamo stati alcuni giorni, ai nostri bambini piace e abbiamo apprezzato moltissimo il cibo!

Ottimo posto dove stare e gente simpatica che lavora lì. Meglio ancora se le camere potessero essere un po' più nuove.

Hotel is modern , fresh , well maintained . Perfect for a relaxing vacation with gym , excellent long pool , yoga , sports area . Access to the beach is private and peaceful. Food spread was lavish Nd tasty . Staff is very friendly Nd goes out of the way to help you . We enjoyed the wide spread of food for new years gala dinner . Bar has good choice of liquor. You can take a tuktuk from hotel lobby roam around to see local life . Go to kalatura rich look store or others for cheap but good quality daily wear clothes . Beach is little rough . Spending 5 nights with hotel was relaxing then we moved to bentota to enjoy the beach which is smooth Nd one of the best I have come across travelling world around . Special thank to Tusharri to ensure we had the best stay Nd the personal touch she provided and Mr Prasad Wijesyriya for maintaining the hotel so well . You can always see them around with a smile and ensuring all guests are happy checking on them . Key feature is the long swimming pool . We are staying at Taj bentota now but we found citrus much better with pool , rooms and pricing for quality .

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Room fantastic, service exceptional, super location. Pool area great too. Food plentiful

Citrus was a last-minute change to our Sri Lanka itinerary, and it was a pleasant overnight stay. The room was clean, adequately-sized and had a nice view of the lawn and beach beyond. The pool is huge and has a good action for kids. The dinner and breakfast buffets, especially the cooking stations, were excellent in terms of range. The quality and value-for-money were also very reasonable. The poolside staff were very friendly and helpful when I needed some minor first aid. A few downsides: - although the hotel is fairly new, it is also already showing signs of wear-and-tear eg: our sliding door handle was rusted solid (admittedly hard to avoid in a seafront property) - I asked 4 times (both in-person and via the room phone) for the day bed to be made up with sheets and a pillow for my son, but this never happened. This was despite the booking being for a room that sleeps 3; our son instead had to cram into bed with myself and my husband. - I called the front desk to make a spa reservation, but then was told this had to be done in-person at the front desk (unclear why). At the desk, I was then told I would receive a confirmation call for my booking, which never occurred - the spa is oddly located across a car park with poor signage. While the treatment itself was ok, and the spa facilities were great, my masseuse didn’t introduce herself, didn’t ask if the pressure she was using was ok with me, didn’t leave the room while I undressed or explain any aspect of the treatment, and there was also no music/relaxation sounds (all of which is standard at pretty much every spa I’ve ever been to).
