Loved my stay here. The staff was very friendly and good food. Pricier food the on the street but tasted good in the hotel. Beautiful to lay out on the sunbed and watch the ocean. Easy access from the hotel to a little beach area on the side. Water is clear and nice

This hotel oozes class from the moment you walk through the door Rooms are lovely Staff are incredible Pool area idilic Food really good and nothing is too much trouble. We went out of season following our son’s cricket tour and this is a lovely base. We booked months ago and I should have checked the rates when I arrived as I had free cancellation. If I had have done I would have saved 55% on what I would have paid as the hotel had a huge discount . The hotel is having major refurb work done whilst we have been here but to be honest I haven’t really noticed.

Just Amazing, it was the perfect environment to unwind and relax after a busy couple of weeks. I ended my vacation to Sri Lanka at the Fortress and I loved it. The staff service was exceptional, food was so delicious, I wish I had more room to enjoy more of it!! I can’t wait to come back with my family and friends. Thank you for your hospitality.

This may be the first time I've given a 10/10 review. I can't fault this property - the room, the staff, the food plus so much more were all fantastic. Even the beach also gets a 10/10 for being a long and quiet stretch without 'on the beach restaurants'. Totally peaceful. The Fortress was recommended to me by a friend and I look forward to passing it on and to coming back myself.

Really superb property. Even though it has a heritage look, it's relatively newly built, so very comfortable, even if lacking in authenticity. Stunning location right by sea, but nothing outside to do, within walking distance. Bed so comfortable, fabulous view and nice restaurant area, with good breakfast. It wasn't clear to me until I was checking. out if there was a 'natural' pool in the coral area or was it just the swimming pool they said to use, as not allowed to swim in sea due to waves (fair advice). If there is a natural pool safe for swimming they should let guests know as I would have liked to swim in the sea and not just the pool. Perfectly clean and staff super responsive. Bath very nice but shower had very low water pressure. Highly recommend if you want somewhere comfortable and quiet. Not a lively resort with activities, but a true chill out spot by nature. Loved listening to waves from balcony in evening. Would love to return some day!

Large style beach resort. Very good dining and drink options across the 3 restaurants. Initially stayed in a room with a plunge pool which was too humid for our liking but had a half day's stay in another room upstairs without a pool and it was very nice with great views of the facility, pool and ocean.

Our third stay at the Fortress, it never disappoints. Beautiful hotel and grounds, food is amazing with full menu room service. Can sit on a sun lounge at high tide and watch turtles feeding in the ocean in front of you or release baby turtles from the hatchery on site. What sets it apart is the service, our son is 5 and was so well cared for by the staff.

Amazing property with infinity pool and great proximity to sea. Nice big rooms with great comfort and rustic interiors. Unique design of the room and bathroom within. While not of much beach area and not recommended for any sea sports. However the Welingama beach is a great beach and great for sea sports.

We stayed at this great hotel for four nights and received amazing service from our personal Butler, Janaka. Food and drink options were great - with both a la carte and different themed buffet options every evening. Our suite was huge and extremely well equipped - the nicest hotel room I have ever stayed in. The only problem is that the bar is now set too high for future hotel stays!! Highly recommended.
