Heritance Ahungalla

grounds and swimming pool

breakfast was not good, lots of it but not of a great standard. Struggled to produce a decent cup of coffee Gym was dirty , ac didnt work and half the machines were out of order.

We liked the friendly staff, good spread of buffet, and the lovely pool which was clean.

Facility needs more renovation and bit more cleaner floors. But believe renovation has already begun.

The manager was kind enough to let us stay for free one half-day since our flight was in the evening. The two swimming pools were quite nice and clean. One of the pool attendants was very helpful.

The food left much to be desired. We had taken half-pension and so were treated to pretty bland buffets. We had brought some wine but the corkage fee was prohibitive (2000 Rupees or roughly US$13!!). The snooker was not free which, for a hotel of this class, looks pretty...cheap! The beach in front of the hotel could have been cleaner. Some other parts of that beach close to the hotel beach area, it looked like a garbage dump. Pity!

Very friendly staff..and nice food..they very much care all the guest.. and thanks for care my baby...

really poor service I got from the dinner buffet stuff . Give me bill before I finished eating , VERY RUDE . That's not what I expected from a RP 4000 per person buffet.

Swimming pool Beach

A big hotel with many tourist coming via tour operator

I really liked the setting of the hotel where the pool is just in front of the beach. The pillows and bed were really comfortable and the staff were really kind, humble, and patient. This was an experience we will never forget.

The rooms could use a bit more cleanliness and I think they should have more entertainment options in the games room.

- Very nice rooms, large and nice decorated (we had a ocean front room in the 1st floor) - Very good choice of tasty dishes for breakfast. - Calm area for relaxing, but it won*t stay for long due to the building of a huge hotel on the Ahungalla beach.

- Pricey dinners in the restaurant. - Hotel is a target of the local beach boys who are trying to sell you a tourist tours and/or tuk-tuk drives all the time.

Staff are very helpful. They gave us very satisfied solutions when we had different opinions on sea view rooms. Foods are extremely delicious. Hotels are just besides sea. It is really enjoyable to play on the beach at dusk. At night, the sea view is unforgettable.

Staff are not warm and quick enough. They always said they were on the way. I felt sick one night, and waited more than 2 hours for electric pot replacement due to the problem of plug... Waited another hour for batteries of remote controller. It is quite expensive(80 USD/p an hour) to take SPA in the resort, while our driver found another local SPA place near the hotel. It took us around 45 dollar/p for 1.5 hours.

The hotel was located right on the beach and had two seperate pools. Breakfest was fantastic. The staff were great

The food was great but I would have liked there to be more authentic Sri Lankan food on the menu

Screwed me on the exchange rate. 10%. Not small.

fantastic location if you want a relaxing time with nice pool, and right on a great beach. really friendly and helpful staff.

I think the hotel is showing signs of wear and the food is a bit institutional.

If what you are looking for is a relaxed atmosphere with direct access to an empty beach and large pools to lounge around in, you will find it here.

The food is good but offers limited variation and not much for children. The service in the main restaurant is also average with long waits at peak times to get refills or your first cuppa at breakfast.

The location of the hotel is perfect right on the beach. We loved the huge swimming pools and the view from our bedroom. We also liked all the effort that was put into decorating the hotel over the festive season. We were quite impressed with management using any feedback in a constructive way trying to improve things almost immediately. The New Years celebrations were very well done and a beautiful event next to the pool and some fireworks on the beach. The food was divine as well as all the lovely ice sculptures! The hotel presented a little chocolate cake to my husband the night of his birthday that was a nice touch.

The only problem we have is the fact that the sun chairs are mostly not available as some hotel guests leave personal belongings on them after they used them in the morning only to return again much later. The line for eggs was very long since there was only one person to assist but one of the managers almost immediately addressed the problem and there was almost no waiting period the next day.

A wonderfull place with very good accommodations
