Reviews for The Fortress Resort & Spa
Exceptional 4 days!
We had a wonderful four-day stay. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the location couldn't have been better. All the staff members were incredibly kind, and my children had a fantastic time. To all the staff who were so helpful—thank you. A special thanks to Thejani as well!

Amazing service and hospitality
The location is amazing. In between Galle Fort and Ahangama. The rooms are huge. The service is exceptionally great. Very attentive team! Even cleans your room twice a day. The Ala carté food menu is delicious.

Favourite hotel in Sri Lankan
Phenomenal hotel would highly recommended it. One of my favourite hotels in Sri Lanka. Spacious clean rooms - highly recommend getting an ocean front room. Huge pool and a decent gym. Food/breakfast was excellent. Staff are very hospitable. Big thank you to Dru at the front desk. Will definitely be back.

Exceptional Resort and Cooking class
An amazing resort filled with delicious food and great services. Very friendly staff. We did the cooking class and must say it was totally amazing. We cooked my favourite dishes and got recipe cards and spice packes to take away with us. Incredible stay and will be coming back.

Blown away… happy wife, happy life!!
Well what can we say except Exceptional! We arrived on the 27th of march for our honeymoon and we are so glad we chose this hotel. The hotel itself is lovely and the rooms are airy, spacious and the cleaning staff ensure they are always spotless! The turn down service provides a welcoming little treat for before bed which we always looked forward to. The pool staff can’t do enough for you. Always there to set up your sun lounger and provide more shade if needed. The area around the pool is very well maintained and the staff are very friendly and always great you with a ‘good morning sir, good morning madam’. Finally the food…. Wow, it’s delicious and plenty of it! Sam the restaurant manager always goes above and beyond to ensure you get exactly what you want. This hotel is fabulous and exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon…. I’m sad to be heading home! We will be back! In addition, there are plenty of TukTuk drivers hanging around outside. We went with Chathuranga who was brilliant. Took us to all the places we wanted to visit and was literally just a what’s Ap message away! +94711755198
