Great pool, buffet and comfortable clean rooms. A great place for a family holiday. The hotel is isolated in not the best neighborhood I’m afraid. But as we went all inclusive we didn’t need to leave the property.

The hotel is good, it’s let down by reception staff who either struggle to understand or just don’t want to help guests. I had one bad experience trying to get a room key replaced. And heard other guests had multiple problems.

It’s a nice beachfront property but the beach is not suitable for swimming or bathing, the sea water is not clean as the waste water from the land comes and mix in the sea. Hotel rooms a very tired, need a good clean and the furnitures need replacing The staff are very friendly and helpful and it’s beautifully landscaped and maintained

Great stay

Our stay at Pegasus was excellent. Staff were amazing and helpful, amenities were excellent. The only area for improvement would be an upgrade to their coffee available for breakfast. Drop filter just doesn't cut it.

Pegasus Beach comfortable hotel

I stayed here twice on my trip to Sri Lanka. First time with a large group. The hotel is in a great spot on the beach. You can’t swim at the beach plus it’s rather dirty with rubbish. It has beautiful grounds and a pool to enjoy. Food is good, staff are good. Rooms need renovating but clean and functional. No lifts but the staff carry the luggage for you.

The hallmark of the hotel is the staff. Amazing friendliness, very accommodative and made us feel very much at home. Hotel overall was convenient and did justice to our stay. Check in was delayed for at least 45 minutes. It didn’t appear to be busy at the reception. Restaurant: Dinner was quite good with a well planned menu. Much variety and on point when it came to taste. Desserts could be better as seemed to be in the same spectrum. Breakfast could have been better on quality. Rooms were good sized, beds with average comfort. TV remote did not work but didn't really use it. Bathroom was well equipped. Showers with good pressure and wonderful hot water. Could have better utility for hanging towels and hooks for cloth storage. Would like to come back and enjoy the hospitality again.

Need to recycle

Our stay has been nice. What saddens me is the trash I saw on the beach. It’s not in front of the hotel but all along the beach. People here don’t respect the beauty they have here enough to put their trash and recycle in the right containers and our oceans and beaches suffer from it.

Great value (when you can get a deal)

We booked it through expedia and got a great deal which made the hotel really good value! The hotel has a beautiful pool area and great rooms however we wasn't that happy about the breakfast buffet. The location isn't the best either it's a bit far from Colombo and the airport and even though it's next to the Ocean, you can't go swimming in it because of big rocks.

Hotel is not easily accessible and Uber and other hire vehicles do not often accept rides. There is no travel desk and minimum help to find cars for hire. In room dining service is very slow. Service that is promised in 15 minutes could get delayed by 60 minutes or more. The building needs a new coat of paint. Staff provide very odd reasons for declining requests and are not accomodating. Food is decent. Pretty yard. Beach is accesdible.
