Very enjoyable with very friendly staff, particularly on reception. Food is excellent. Good bar although the service can be slow at times but I guess that's the way they do things in Sri Lanka! Bar food is delicious.Brilliant sea view from my room which had excellent air con and fabulous bathroom. I will definitely stay there again when I return... More

My partner and I booked a week in this hotel based on the raving reviews we had seen. However after our experience we both felt that the glowing reviews were somewhat unrealistic and undeserved. Not meaning to sound snobby or arogant but this hotel was not worth the number of stars its obviously very loyal clientele feels it warrents. Everything... More

Great staff, nice food. Good pool out the back and backs onto the beautiful sea. Doesn't really mean much when you have a room with single glazing on the Busy Galle Road side. I was part of a party here for the cricket and despite asking to move and offering to pay more it didn't happen. Buses and trucks thundering... More

Our room was great....right at the beach, we could hear the waves. DOnt bother with the corals most of them are dead. The turtle hatchery is a must visit. We... More

We have stayed here four times before but never tire of the Coral Sands. This year the room we like had been refurbished tastefully and the beach was better in that the boats, swimming and snokelling hand been divided off. We hope that this hotel will continue to maintain standards so that we can continue to visit with confidence. More
