As one of Sri Lanka's top luxury hotels, the Shangri-La maintains excellent hygiene and safety standards; sniffer dogs conduct luggage searches before entry. The Shangri-La's breakfast and dinner buffets are well-suited to Chinese tastes. The beach is also beautiful.
A beautiful place. The hotel is located right on the shore of the ocean, all rooms with balconies and ocean view. Staff is very hospitality, helped carry bags, cleaned the room at request and always smiled. I would like to note the hotel manager, Darya. met in the hotel at the settlement, told about the hotel, about the surroundings where and what you can see, always was in contact.
Hotel restaurant, just wonderful. All the dishes (mostly Italian) were very delicious. On the last day, at our request, the cook cooked a set of Sri Lanka national dishes, it was great.
All additionally served the bread basket, butter.
The pool is clean, warm.
Rooms with good repair and normal furniture. Air conditioning worked quietly. The plumbing is in good condition.
Oh ... This hotel just fell in love with itself!!! Photos I do not apply because they are real in the hotel profile. Here is everything! We were in the 4 suite for the 3rd floor and it is really the best hotel in Sri. Very atmospheric and thoughtful, the eyes are joyful for every trivial. Service: Settled early and fast, cleaned in room 2 times a day!!!!!! , the pool is clean, the food in the restaurant is delicious , but expensive.
The ocean is not calm here, but if you are on a car or on a bike, 10 or 20 minutes in different directions and either Unavatuna or Veligma or Mirissa ( tuck will also deliver ).
Restaurants are also in step-by-step availability.
I'm the second time in Sri and there's something to compare with, so I highly recommend. The hotel is worth its money, not ordinary network and not killed local. We'll be back here 100%
Aaaaa and on the 3rd floor a charming patio with lying, just huge,this bonus is just a gun
The location is very convenient, just a 10-minute drive from Galle Fort. The atmosphere is excellent, feeling like a private villa estate. The room also has a communal living area, which is very comfortable for sitting and chatting. The facilities are top-notch; this is the first time I've encountered disposable toothbrushes in a hotel in Sri Lanka, and the bedding is very comfortable. The service attitude is superb; the housekeeper was enthusiastic from the moment I arrived, providing explanations and answering all my questions. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and highly recommended!
Loved the location, which is within short walking distance to the Galle lighthouse. But what I loved the most was the modern interiors of this Art Deco building . Our room was well designed and clean, complete with a bathtub and lovely marble finishing. I personally felt that the bed was one of the most comfortable I experienced during my week in Sri Lanka. I also enjoyed the sunset views from the rooftop bar and the pool, even though a little small was great for cooling down after exploring the old town on foot. My only comment would be that the shower amenities weren't in a good place, could easily slip during shower time.
Breakfast had an option of either local fare (to be prebooked) and western fare which was tasty. Definitely one of the highlights of our stay in Sri Lanka.
We spent a night in this hotel and overall it was all right.
However, we have a few things to defect:
2 of 3 beds in the room, had clearly visible points. The shower was very calcified.
Otherwise the room was all right, the equipment is visible for a few years, but can keep with modern standards.
The pool is large and clean, but there is only one bed.
Due to the low cost of the hotel during our stay, we felt that the service was overambitious, which partly disturbed.
In summary, this hotel is a good opportunity for a few nights. It has a good location and is additionally indoored.
The service is good. But the hardware is too bad, there is no hot water for the bath. The door lock is old and there are mosquitoes everywhere in the house. It’s mainly right by the lake. It’s convenient to see the birds. Now I’m changing the hotel. It’s not far away. It’s about two kilometers. The price is half cheaper.
Fantastic hotel with a beautiful location, and generally completely new and renovated. Great pluss for most, only minus is that the food was medium and often took too long. There is no alcohol in the hotel - so it was not possible to get a cocktail or beer (large minus).
Very friendly host and his staff. The location is good. A really beautiful villa with all amenities. The best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka (we had 9 hotels). The pool is amazing. The hotel staff swept and cleaned the area every day. But the floor in the room was a bit dusty. Slow breakfast service. My advice is to serve breakfast indoors so that the guests are not bitten by mosquitoes. Thank you so much for your hospitality! I definitely recommend this villa to all travelers.
I traveled alone in Sri Lanka for 8 days and 7 nights, and I stayed in B&Bs all the time. This was to control the budget and to get a deeper understanding of the people in Sri Lanka. This B&B was the best one among all the B&Bs I stayed in Sri Lanka. I arrived late, and the hostess and her daughter were waiting for me. The room was very spacious and clean. There was no breakfast in the order, but I spent 5 US dollars to try it and it was not bad. The only drawback is that it is a bit far from the city center of the ancient city of Galle. If you drive or charter a car, there is no problem. When I left, I forgot to tell them that my email address is: ********************** Hope you can write to me!

Very Good
We really loved this hotel. The spacious and clean room with a partial ocean view (second line) matches the photos on the website exactly. Daily cleaning, water, tea, and coffee are provided—everything for a comfortable stay. The breakfasts are delicious, although not buffet-style. The hotel's location is simply perfect! It's located at the end of Unawatuna Beach, just a 15-minute walk from the main tourist street. The only liquor store is two minutes away, and Turtle Beach is a 20-minute walk away. But the best part is the beach is right across the street! It's a cozy, quiet bay where the waves crash against the rocks before reaching the shore. Unlike the main beach, where strong currents can sweep you away, here you can safely swim and enjoy the gentle remnants of the waves. I'd especially like to mention the staff—they're smiling, friendly, and very pleasant. Thank you for the warm welcome!
The breakfast and dinner buffet is very good.I asked for masala tea and their indian chef Balbeer Singh made it to perfection.The rooms are spacious and clean. Friendly and helpful staff.We are taken care of very well by Jayaru and Nelka. We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and the hotel made it very special. The only mark down for the hotel is lack of sun loungers and parasols for the guests.You are constantly struggling to get shade under the trees.A 5 star hotel should make provision for their guests.As they would have details of all bookings.
Yala Golden Wild, a pleasant house with beautiful pool, ever ready to help staff. Rooms are spacious and clean, beds comfy, shower water a good pressure. Breakfast was delicious. We stayed 2 nights and will recommend those who are doing Yala National Park Safari to choose starting there.
Great stay. Everything was almost perfect, all the staff were friendly and helpful. But a special mention for Sam and Tharushi in the Palms they were so attentive, not just to me but I saw their exceptional service given to everyone they interacted with. Tharushi’s beautiful smile greeting us at the door….😊. I hope to return one day soon, although my stay was short, I feel I had a connection with the whole place but especially Sam and Tharushi. Thank you 💕
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by wonderfully friendly staff at the reception desk, and our positive impression continued when we saw our room. It was incredibly spacious and spotlessly clean and a perfect space to relax in. Unfortunately, our enthusiasm dipped when we looked out the window. We had eagerly anticipated the sea view we booked, but found ourselves on the first floor looking directly onto the main path to the restaurant. The lack of both a view and privacy was a real disappointment. The challenges were compounded by a local festival taking place during our stay. This rendered the beach unusable due to the sheer volume of people. Worse, the road closures made leaving the hotel a logistical headache, leaving us feeling a bit trapped. A final frustration was discovering there were no shops nearby and no convenience store in the hotel itself, so be sure to pack everything you might need. In summary, while we can't fault the hotel on its cleanliness or the friendliness of its staff, the experience was significantly hampered by the room mix-up and the festival chaos. It wasn’t a bad stay, but it was far from the relaxing getaway we had planned.
Was a great stay on a villa in the jungle, very comfortable and pleasant. The breakfast was amazing and the owner and his family are very hospitable and nice.
Excellent location. Quite nearby to mirissa harbour and weligama. Liked the property. They arranged a candle lit dinner setting nearby beach as it was my honeymoon on request for no additional charges. Liked the beach, the swimming facilities and the buffet for dinner as well as breakfast. Arranged breakfast box as i had to go on whale watching and would have missed my breakfast. Very nice staff. Only thing they can improve is a bit quick on service as we had to call multiple times for getting our room cleaned.
We had a wonderful time at W15 in Weligama. The hotel is right by the beach, so we could hear the waves and enjoy the ocean view every day. It’s a stylish and clean place, with a calm and peaceful feeling that made me feel relaxed as soon as we arrived. The staff were super kind and helpful. They always made sure we were comfortable. Our room was cozy and nicely decorated, with everything we needed. One of our favorite parts was the pool. The views were stunning. The hotel is definitely a great spot for surfing, chilling, or just watching the sunset. W15 is a wonderful choice for your trip to Weligama.
