Very large resort, very good food

My wife and I stayed here earlier this month and - although we were only there for a night prior to flying back to Australia - we had a good time. The resort itself is really large and the staff are super friendly. The buffet food is excellent both in variety and taste. They offer an all-inclusive upgrade package for $30 US per person/per night - as at July 2018 - so if you're going to be here for a few days it would be well worth it to take this option, especially if you like a drink or 2...

Fabulous hotel and great location.

Fantastic location, beautiful beach, the sea is a bit rough, but there were people swimming in the sea although the red flags were flying everyday we were there. The staff are really friendly, great fun and very helpful. Both pool areas are very clean, food and drinks appear to be available at any time of day or night, although we were originally on a B&B basis, we went for the all inclusive on arrival and were not disappointed with what was on offer. Our room was a superior one with sea view, big room, the A/C and ceiling fan was great, our room could have done with a little refresh on some of the paintwork, but generally nice. We had a fabulous ten nights at the Dolphin and would definitely recommend this hotel.

Overall good but they have a lot to learn.

Overall good. They have a lot to learn regarding food selection compared to other all inclusive holidays we have taken especially Turkey. We booked B&B but were informed that we should take all inclusive as it represented good value. We don’t agree £70 each per day wasn’t good value at all unless you wanted to snuff yourself or get outrageously drunk!

Very nice

+ Very nice resort. Wonderful huge pool and great pool area on the lawn. Beautiful beach too - and swimmable :). Animation team active. Nice main restaurant, lots of food choices. And tasty. Live music at times nice touch. Close to the airport, very good choice for a first or last stop in Sri Lanka. - Very large resort, not for those who prefer more privacy. Sometimes loud too. They take day guests (probably there for a meeting or something), so that at one point there were no more sun umbrellas left for us - which should not happen. A bit complicated to get around. Could have more of a local touch.

Over priced rundown hotel

We booked this hotel for our last night in Sri Lanka and it was by far the most rundown hotel we have stayed in. We booked the most expensive ($260 per night) room that they offered “ beach villa”. The room was in poor condition and looked nothing like a villa. Tv didn’t work and bed sheets were old and room was not clean. Ac blows directly on the bed so you can choose to either be freezing or be super hot. The hotel is on the beach but far from easy access to anything near by. Dinning options are at the buffet only and it’s like a 2 star restaurant. The buffet is $15 per person, kinda high for the quality of food and giving the fact you are in Sri Lanka. This hotel would be ok for $40 per night for someone that is on budget. $260 per night in Sri Lanka gets you by far nicer accommodation.

Very nice hotel with character by the beach.

The staff are very helping and friendly. Always willing to help with any problems you may have. The hotel is not a modern type of hotel, but has lots of character. The two swimming pools are a bonus. The first is a large long stretched out pool with plenty of space for everyone. The other is a large quiet pool for those who want to swim or spend time in the pool with less noise. The eating areas are large and spacious. My only negative point is if you are a vegetarian. Then on some days the choice can be limited. But if you ask the head chef. They will try to make food to satisfy your vegetarian lifestyle the next time you eat. The beach can be littered with some rubbish bought in on the tide from the nearby towns. But the staff do clean it monthly. In August the tide can be a little strong.

Très bon accueil dès l'aéroport (van réservé à l'avance pour 40$ l'aller) et à l'hôtel bien reçus (mais ne pas être pressés !) Chambre en rez de jardin au bord de la piscine principale (attention un peu bruyant et le personnel de chambre commence le ménage très tôt) Nous avons upgradé du BB en All inclusive moyennant finance et c'est obligé car pas grand chose dans les alentours. Mauvaise surprise certains jours de voir des locaux venir passer la journée en groupe et se rendre malade à boire de l'alcool jusqu'à ne plus tenir debout.
