    It's a nice location with a nice pool. The hotel could become much better with a facelift and a few minor changes to the hard product.

    There was something very dodgy about this place (I’ll try to explain, photos attached).. while the pool area was beautiful, sitting by the pool felt like a zoo. Right outside the hotel’s fence, men would linger and stare at you all day, this made me extremely uncomfortable! I would have told security had I not seen him share drinks with them from the inside while they did their staring thing. Worst than this, is wanting to go to the actual beach and cross the fence, you have no way to escape them, they run right at you and try to sell things, and they’re very persistent, almost harassing! We tried going for a walk outside the hotel (through the opposite side of the beach) and again, we were harassed by men trying to sell god knows what, literally sticking to us and being quite rude, almost screaming at us to follow them. Super uncomfortable, not an area I would recommend. We were offered weed by the front door guard one night when we came back from dinner and the rest of the staff felt quite… disconnected from the guests.

    The pool area is beautiful, the pool is clean and has plenty of space for every guest for find a bed. Our room was upgraded upon arrival which was very nice of them, the room was huge, views to the sea, clean and very comfortable! Had all the ameneties.

    Some of the staff were a little abrupt, others were super nice. Vegetarian options were a bit limited for Sri Lankan food, and I didn’t come here for ‘international’ cuisine. No service to organise onward travel - just told to go out the gate and get a tuk tuk.

    Good swimming pool, very spacious room, very clean, good location on a beach that isn’t overpopulated, not too crowded.

    We have spent lovely days in the facility. We travelled with two kids. The staff is always very helpful especially SuSantha & Sanjaya & Jagath. The swimming pool is huge and in March the water temperature is 32 degrees Celsius also the Ocean temperature is around 32 degrees Celsius. Beautiful Ocean view from each room. Easy access to the beach. The food is good quality and tasty, it doesn't change a lot day by day but always fresh and suitable for vegans or vegetarians. Please note that this hotel has different standard then European five star hotel.

    It was an average experience. It's unfortunate because the location of this hotel is great and it has a lot of potential to do better but the place is extremely run down and not maintained properly. We had a suite and the sofa in the room has not been cleaned for ages as it had stains. We only received two pillows which is a bit strange for a suite and the room service was terrible. They were highly understaffed and there were flies in our room that made our life hell. The only good part was the French toast during breakfast but aside from that even the breakfast was quite average. I wish Wijaya Leisure actually took initiative to do better!

    The hotel does not match its category, from the staff to the facilities. We arrived at 5 p.m., but we were not checked in for 40 minutes. And the lady at the reception didn't even think to explain what was going on. She held up her finger to my questions!!! showing that we should be silent at all. This is an extreme degree of bad manners. I don't understand how she working in her position at all. As a result, we left our luggage and went to visit friends, and checked in finally only at 10 pm. And we also had to persuade the manager to provide us with a late check-out the next day, he did not offer, but we did. There were only 2 bath towels and 1 foot towel in the room for 2 people. Is it 5 stars? There is no bathrobe, no slippers. A set of toilet accessories for only one person. And the condition of the bed linen is just terrible, everything is in puffs, some rags and the smell from the blanket is disgusting.

    My first ocean view room had a faulty air conditioner but the staff weren’t aware until I let them know. however they dealt with it right away and upgraded me. Forewarning that it is a pretty isolated area- so it’s best for people who want quiet and privacy (which I did). There isn’t much else to do besides beach, pool, and ayurveda.

    I liked that it was quiet and private. I booked an ocean view room- the room was nice but the air conditioner wasn’t working properly. I called to inform the receptionist and I was kindly upgraded to a luxury suite by one of the staff named Sanjala, who was an excellent and professional host. The new room was lovely and comfortable, with a great view from the balcony of the sunset. I really liked the bathtub and spacious bathroom as well. The internet speed was fast, which was great because I was working remotely. I liked the long pool; and the easy access to the beach. The staff were friendly and hospitable; the kitchen staff even provided me with a Sri Lankan breakfast in morning upon my request.
