Amazing family vacation

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

We had a wonderful family vacation at the Fortress. We enjoyed everything: the room, pool, beach, gym and delicious food and drinks.The place is so special and beautiful and looks like a postcard! What’s best about the hotel is the staff which was so helpful with every request. Highly recommended!

Enjoyable stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

Good location to reach Galle. Beach front and pool very impressive with plenty of loungers and towel service. We used Uber to get out on a couple of occasions but the tuk tuk drivers were not happy and were very intimidating to the drivers. When out walking they were quite annoying and would not take no thank you for an answer! Hotel very quiet at the time we visited although they were unable to accommodate a room extension. Extensive menu (priced in US$) for lunch or dinner. Orders sometimes missing or not quite as requested but that could be a language issue. Service often a little slow even with plenty of waiting staff. A mention for Sasuvu who was particularly attentive to our requests. Rooms very spacious with all usual toiletries and regular linen change. Rooms did feel damp due to the humidity. Friends had a dehumidifier in their room which they needed to empty regularly.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

We had an Ocean View room with a balcony overlooking the grounds and Indian Ocean. The room was comfortable with huge bed, a sofa and table and chairs on the balcony. The bathroom was quite a high spec, with glass panelling enclosing a large shower space and toilet area. There was large bath and two washbasins. Plenty of storage shelving and a illuminated shaving mirror. Hotel was very clean, as were the communal toilet facilities, (checked every 30mins)
