We were absolutely delighted with our first 4 nights at the Hotel so much so that we decided to return for 3 extra nights later in our trip.
The staff are a credit to the hotel always happy and helpful they made us feel special.
The food was very good quality and value .
The pool area was cleaned many times during the day and the towels clean large and plentiful.
We will definitely return on our next visit to Sri Lanka.

The staff works tirelessly to keep you happy and having a pleasant stay. I stated for a week this past summer, and everything went well. They have a nice pool and the beach is right outside. Thanks again!

I had such a great time at Insight Resort. Very clean, nice hotel. With very helpful and polite staff, I’ve never felt unattended. Beautiful private beach access and spacious pool. I chose the room with sea view and enjoyed so much. The food at the restaurant was amazing and super fresh. Value and quality are really attractive! Will definitely come back!

I would rate "Insight" at 5 stars. Heaps of reasons to do so, especially because of the professional and attentive staff. However, I can only give them 4.9 stars... the music selection does not match the hotel environment. It's a beachfront hotel with a lot of surfers, but they play old Roy Orbison and Elvis music. Also, they play random Italian music. It's not bad music, it just doesn't fit the property. My opinion is they should have something more Bali Lounge / Bali Chill style. It would make breakfast buffet time so much more enjoyable... listening to beach chill music instead of random 1950s US songs. Besides that, 5 stars!!!

Very friendly, comfortable rooms, felt a bit odd signing a disclosure form on powercuts but they operate by the book. Overall a good place to unwind

The hotel is super clean and safe and the staff are welcoming and friendly, however their manner is a bit off-putting as they only seem to know two words: "Room Number".
Even after two weeks, the waiters at breakfast asked me my room number when they had seen me every day.
The restaurant has no vibe whatsoever, long empty tables in a huge bright room.
Your plates are cleared before you have finished your last mouthful of food, and you are brought the bill to sign without being asked if you want anything else.
Waiters hover over you watching your every move as if you are not to be trusted - it can be quite disconcerting!
The food however is great, and the Chef is amazing. He came out every morning to see if I liked the breakfast, and recommended certain dishes - he even made me a special pasta one evening as he knew I'd like it spicy.
The information needs to be updated on the website/hotels.com site as, whilst this may be due to pandemic restrictions, if I had known certain things I would not have chosen this resort.
As a coffee lover, they only have instant coffee, even at breakfast, it's disguised as filter coffee!
No coffee bar.
No snack bar/deli.
There is only 1 (lovely) pool.
No roof terrace.
The Juice Bar is just a sign (it's a storage place for beach mattresses & towels).
The picnic area is a bunch of wooden benches.
No specific children's play area.
No sun umbrellas at all.
No beach loungers (pool area only).
Gayan, one of the pool attendants was super though.

Sensational hotel. Fantastic location, sea view. Beautiful pool located in the shade of palm trees allowing you to relax. Good drinks.
However, the greatest value of the hotel are its employees. Each one helps to spend time in the best way possible. From preparing beautiful, hearty breakfasts to suggesting places to go. Our car driver had to cancel a few hours before we got to the airport and the hotel arranged a replacement for us within minutes at a very reasonable price.
I have traveled to many places in the world, but those few days at the Insight Hotel were one of the best experiences of my life.

My friend and I stayed here for 2 nights as a treat to end our trip in Sri Lanka. It was a dream.The staff were great and the facilities were lovely. We paid extra to have a sea view which was amazing, but you spend most of your time by the pool or in the sea! We got tuk tuks to the local restaurants at night, and did an afternoon/evening trip to Galle. Breakfast buffet was great too. Lovely hotel, would definitely recommend!

Had a great time at the hotel. The staff was excellent and the food was also good. We stayed during the New Year time & Kids really enjoyed the new year games as well as us. It was nice of the hotel to organize the Kiribath table with traditional sweetmeats during the auspicious time. Nice & calm beach right in front of the hotel. Will definitely stay at Insight again. Great service by Dilani (FOM) and her team.

We had a perfect stay at Insight Ahnamgama. The personell was fantastic, rooms and facilities excellent. The pool area beautiful and relaxing. The Hotel is somewhat alone on the beach which gives a secluded feeling. I would highly recommend the hotel.

Very good resort, the location is very good, right on the beach which is almost like a private beach. The staff requires some training as many of them were trainees. The person answering the phone to take orders for room service should be good in communication. The pool and spa are very good. The staff overall is friendly and courteous.
1.5
the overall feeling of the hotel was ok. The location is nice with the beach in front. The rooms are spacious and clean, we had a sea view room, which was nice. The service though was not to great satisfaction in parts. We were not very happy with the service for the reception. They had difficulties to communicate in English. They never called back upon a request for a massage. However, the staff at the pool was very nice. Whereas breakfast was good, I would not recommend half board service, as dinner meals were rather dull. We still decided to extend our stay for another two nights, as we really liked the beach, outdoor area, and our room.

Definitely not 3.5 star! Very disappointing. Small holes in bed sheets and frayed towels. Paint pealing off the walls in our room. No buffet breakfast for the first 2 days we were there. The second last night a group of young Sri Lankan's on a work trip came and stayed. The party went on for hours. Running in the hallways, continuous noise, yelling, slamming doors and loud music. By 3 am we were getting pretty annoyed. The staff must have know it was going on because the main dining room is an atrium and is connected to the hallways. There was no way they couldn't have heard. At 3 we called and complained. It did quieten down a bit after that, with only intermittent loud noises. But then it started up again at 6am. So we had breakfast, complained to the manger, who's only excuse was "they are young", and then we went back to bed. We then complained to the management again they were dismissive. We were only there for 5 days and we lost a whole day. They then gave us an ~ AU$6 discount on our stay! The cost of 1 drink, or less than 10% of a nights accommodation. Generally a lousy experience. I would not recommend it to anyone. There were a lot of other nice places we saw on the days we did go out. Please look somewhere else! Don't stay here.

To many things not as agreed or changed,
The upgrade I asked for should cost 11$ than they said it was a mistake and they wanted to charge 25$, than they offered 22$ finally the charged 15$
Ordered a papaya juice. Since did not like the taste wanted to have a little bit vanilla icecream and they brought and charged me 6000 Rup for the Ice. Price for Papaya juice 5000 so total 11.000 Rup.
When we were going last morning to our surfclass early morning they were running behind us asking wether we would not pay our bill. Responce from me yes at 11:00 when we check out as anounced.

The hotel was closed for refurbishment when we arrived. Just by very hard work did we manage to find alternative accomodation because ALL good hotels where full.Not even hotels.com let us know this AND we never got a reply on our request.A very bad xmas experience for our family, how hotels.com can accept bookings when the hotel is closed!!
