    The best and worst parts

    The staff fulfilled every request impeccably, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Watching sea turtles from my sun lounger was a breathtaking experience.

    The dining prices could feel steep, a minor downside to an otherwise charming culinary experience.

    ocean view
    humidity issues
    noisy room

    Beautiful ocean view.

    The humidity in the room was unbearable. I had to keep the AC on all the time, which made it cold and noisy, especially at night. The restaurant's food was just average, which was disappointing considering the high prices.

    spacious room
    beautiful pool
    beach access
    dinner menu variety

    We had a fantastic family getaway in the Beach Splash Room, where the spaciousness and large bathroom were such a treat. The pool was awesome, and we loved the easy access to the beach and enjoyed pampering ourselves at the spa and jacuzzi. The only small issue was the lack of variety in the dinner menu, but overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience! 🌊

    We had a fantastic time at this stunning resort! The infinity pool had an amazing view, and the breakfast buffet was delicious with lots of options. However, we felt that the dinner choices could have been better.

    The Fortress Resort & Spa's blend of colonial architecture and modern design created a serene atmosphere, while the accessible pathways made it easy for me to navigate the beautiful grounds without any difficulties.

    Minor maintenance on outdoor areas could be improved.

    spacious room
    comfy king bed
    ocean view
    dated furniture

    The Ocean Room was super spacious and had a comfy king bed. Loved the beautiful view of the ocean right from our room. Good bathroom amenities too with a nice shower. It felt bright and clean, perfect for our family vibe. Only downside might be that the furniture felt a tad dated, but it didn’t ruin the chill experience.

    The ocean view rooms and infinity pool are stunning! The evening set menu was excellent, though a bit repetitive after a few days. The spa treatments were great.

    Amazing, Amazing, Amazing

    The spacious Fortress Room was a dream come true with its stunning ocean views that took my breath away! I indulged at the exquisite buffet breakfast and dined at their restaurant where each bite was a flavor explosion, especially the mouthwatering Indian cuisine cooked by Khan. Plus, the welcoming staff made every moment special, ensuring I felt right at home!

    ocean view
    friendly staff
    beautiful beach

    Had an amazing time here with friends! The beach is beautiful and the ocean view from our room was incredible. We really enjoyed a day trip to the nearby Galle Fort and a safari experience. Just a heads up, the restaurant prices are a bit high for what you get. But overall, the place is clean and the staff were super friendly.
