Reviews for The Fortress Resort & Spa
Stunning hotel with mediocre massages
Absolutely stunning hotel. I went for an Ayurvedic massage in beautiful surroundings. Lovely masseuse but massage was very average and for nearly $60 not really worth the price.

Nice stay
The Fortress Resort and Spa in Galle is truly an amazing place to stay. The property is stunning, with a perfect mix of luxury and relaxation. The views of the ocean are breathtaking, and the whole atmosphere feels peaceful and refreshing. The staff were very friendly and attentive, making sure everything was comfortable throughout the stay. The food was excellent with great variety and quality.

Just the best
If I could give six stars I probably would. The Fortress is fabulous. We had a stunning room, plenty of space, gorgeous view of the pool and sea only just beyond, the sound of the ever present surf is like a gentle song which will send you to sleep with a smile on your face. The staff are simply sensational and nothing is too much trouble, nothing. The Chef Anushka Fernando was the ultimate charming professional. He was patience personified and talked us through every dish, every day and greeted us like long lost friends every time he saw us. Sam was equally as attentive and always looking to help us maximise our enjoyment of the day. All the staff were lovely and a special mention to Nawan who made sure we were always looked after by the pool. The Spa was nice too and all in all this made the perfect end to a simply amazing holiday in Sri Lanka, thank you everyone.
